Operating Instructions
Power On/Reset
To ensure power is supplied through the GFCI adapter, press the red RESET button. The green LED indicator will light up when power is active.
Testing the GFCI
It is crucial to test the GFCI adapter regularly (e.g., monthly or before each use with critical equipment) to ensure proper function.
- With the GFCI adapter plugged in and the green LED illuminated, press the black TEST button.
- The green LED should turn off, and power to the connected device should be interrupted. This indicates the GFCI has tripped successfully.
- To restore power, press the red RESET button. The green LED should re-illuminate.
- If the GFCI does not trip when the TEST button is pressed, or if it does not reset after tripping, do not use the adapter. Consult the troubleshooting section.
Automatic Self-Test
The ELEGRP GFCI adapter features a patented self-test mechanism that automatically performs a diagnostic check every 5 seconds when power is on. This exceeds standard UL requirements and ensures continuous protection.

Troubleshooting
GFCI Does Not Reset
- Ensure the adapter is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.

GFCI Trips Frequently
- This indicates a ground fault or an overload condition.
- Check the connected device for damage or malfunction.
