According to the Leviton PK-A3094-10-00-0C Installing and Testing A DIN Rail Mount GFCI Receptacle Instruction Manual, here are the steps to test if the GFCI receptacle has been installed correctly:
1. **Power On Test:** Plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI receptacle and leave it plugged in. Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the TEST button on the GFCI receptacle. If the lamp or radio turns OFF and the GFCI does not reset, this indicates that the Line and Load connections may be reversed.
2. **Reset Test:** Press the RESET button fully and release. If the Status Indicator Light turns Green and the lamp or radio is ON, the GFCI has been installed correctly. If the Status Indicator Light turns or continuously blinks Red, or the GFCI cannot be reset, further troubleshooting is required.
3. **Load Test:** If you installed the GFCI with downstream protection, plug a lamp or radio into surrounding receptacles to identify which ones lose power when you press the GFCI TEST button. Place a "GFCI PROTECTED OUTLET" sticker on each affected receptacle. Do not plug life-saving devices into these outlets.
4. **Monthly Testing:** Press the TEST button (and then the RESET button) every month to ensure proper operation. If the Status Indicator Light does not turn Green when the RESET button is pressed and released, or if the GFCI cannot be reset, it may need to be replaced.
By following these testing procedures, you can verify that the DIN Rail Mount GFCI receptacle has been installed correctly and is functioning as intended for ground fault protection.
