Lutron Tamper Resistant, Self-Testing GFCI Receptacle features tamper resistant technology that protects you from shocks and improper insertion.. This receptacle has a test/reset button but also automatically checks every 30 seconds to see if it everything is functioning properly. There is an LED indicator that will turn red if the unit is no longer working as it should. There is also a tamper resistant shutter mechanism to prevent someone from sticking something into the receptacle and causing injury. Installing a receptacle is easy and can be done in as little as 15 minutes. Coordinating wall plate not included.

Feature

• Three provisions for providing protection:
  • Continuous electronic sensing, testing and evaluation utilizing diagnostic software located on the printed circuit board.
  • Auto-sensing mode for immediate interruption for a ground fault condition for Class A protection (4 – 6 mA).
  • Manual testing mode by manually operating the “test and reset” buttons utilizing a supervisory circuit as specified in UL 943 section 5.15.
• Continuous self-test functionality – disconnects power to receptacle if critical components are damaged and GFCI protection is lost – providing “continuous self-testing” that initiates within 2.5 seconds and is a continuous cycle every 30 seconds or less.
• Manual Test – this design incorporates a full system test function. The GFCI, when manually tested, induces a simulated ground fault leakage current to the printed circuit board. This in turn causes the mechanical system to react based on the action of the solenoid. The entire mechanical and electronic GFCI system is reviewed for functionality.
• Reverse wire safety feature – if wired incorrectly the GFCI will not reset, therefore, no power to the face or to downstream receptacles for added safety.
• Clear visual indication of GFCI status — Single bicolor LED indicates:
  • LED is green (power to the device)
  • LED is red (trip condition/ground fault condition)
  • LED is flashing red (end of life)
• Permanently installed internal tamper-resistant shutter mechanism capable of resisting insertion of foreign elements into the device.
• Internal back wiring clamp and guide pocket — quick and dependable termination.
• Receptacle face compatible with NEMA designer and Nova T* designer-opening wallplates.
• Compliant with NEC® 406.12 and NEC® 517-18(c).
