- Ensure the main power to the load center is OFF.
- Prepare branch circuit wires (phase and neutral) by stripping insulation to the recommended length.
- Connect the branch phase and neutral wires directly to the designated terminals on the load center panel. This allows for neat wiring at rough-in without breakers in the way.
- Align the LB260-ES breaker with the appropriate slot in the load center.
- Firmly push the breaker onto the bus bar until it snaps securely into place. No additional wiring to the breaker is required.
- Verify all connections are secure and the breaker is properly seated.
- Once all breakers are installed and the panel cover is secured, restore main power.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Leviton LB260-ES circuit breaker operates like a standard circuit breaker but includes smart functionalities accessible via the My Leviton app.
Funcionament manual:
- Interruptor ON / OFF: To turn a circuit ON, push the switch to the 'ON' position. To turn it OFF, push the switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Interruptor disparat: If the breaker trips due to an overload or fault, the switch will move to a central, tripped position. To reset, first move the switch fully to the 'OFF' position, then to the 'ON' position. If the breaker immediately trips again, there is still a fault on the circuit that needs to be addressed.
Smart Features (via My Leviton App):
To utilize the smart features, download the My Leviton app and connect your Leviton Load Center and smart breakers according to the app's instructions.
- Monitorització energètica: View real-time energy consumption for individual circuits or the entire home. Track usage patterns over time to identify energy-saving opportunities.
- Comandament a distància: Remotely turn circuits ON or OFF from your smartphone or tablet.
- Anomaly Notifications: Receive alerts for electrical anomalies, such as unexpected power draws or circuit trips, directly to your device.
- Funcionalitat d'autoprova: GFPE breakers feature self-test capabilities to ensure proper operation. The app may provide status updates on these tests.
6. Manteniment
Leviton circuit breakers are designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended.
- Inspecció visual: Periodically inspect the circuit breaker and load center for any signs of damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
- GFPE Test: GFPE devices should be tested monthly. Press the 'TEST' button on the breaker. The breaker should trip immediately. Reset the breaker by moving the switch to 'OFF' then 'ON'. If the breaker does not trip or reset, it may be faulty and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
