- බලය අක්රිය කරන්න: ඔබ ප්රතිස්ථාපනය කරන හෝ ස්ථාපනය කරන අලෙවිසැල පාලනය කරන පරිපථ කඩනය හෝ ෆියුස් එක සොයා ගන්න. එය ක්රියා විරහිත කරන්න. වෝල්ටීයතාවයක් භාවිතයෙන් බලය අක්රිය වී ඇති බව තහවුරු කරන්න.tagඊ පරීක්ෂක.
- වයර් හඳුනා ගන්න: Carefully pull the existing outlet from the wall box (if replacing). Identify the LINE wires (incoming power from the breaker) and LOAD wires (outgoing power to other outlets downstream). The GFCI outlet has clearly marked LINE and LOAD terminals.
- තීරු වයර්: Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the wires.
- සම්බන්ධක වයර්:
- Connect the bare copper or green insulated GROUND wire to the GREEN grounding screw terminal.
- Connect the incoming LINE (hot/black) wire to the BRASS LINE terminal.
- Connect the incoming LINE (neutral/white) wire to the SILVER LINE terminal.
- If you have downstream outlets to protect, connect the outgoing LOAD (hot/black) wire to the BRASS LOAD terminal.
- If you have downstream outlets to protect, connect the outgoing LOAD (neutral/white) wire to the SILVER LOAD terminal.
Note: If there are no downstream outlets to protect, cap off the LOAD terminals with electrical tape or wire nuts.
- ආරක්ෂිත සම්බන්ධතා: Ensure all wires are securely fastened to their respective terminals. The ANKO GFCI supports both back-wire (inserting stripped wire into hole and tightening screw) and side-wire (wrapping wire around screw) connections.
- සවිකරන අලෙවිසැල: Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box and secure the GFCI outlet to the box with the provided screws. Attach the wall plate.

5.3. Initial Test
- බලය ප්රතිස්ථාපනය කරන්න: පරිපථ කඩනයෙහි හෝ ෆියුස් පෙට්ටියෙහි බලය නැවත ක්රියාත්මක කරන්න.
- Press RESET: The GFCI outlet should now have power. Press the RESET button. The LED indicator should turn GREEN.
- Press TEST: Press the TEST button. The GFCI should trip, and the LED indicator should turn OFF or RED.
- Press RESET Again: Press the RESET button again. The GFCI should reset, and the LED indicator should turn GREEN.
If the GFCI does not reset or the LED does not turn green, check your wiring connections and ensure the power is on. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
6. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්
6.1. TEST and RESET Buttons
- TEST Button (Black): Used to manually trip the GFCI to verify its protection function. When pressed, the GFCI should trip, cutting off power to the receptacles.
- RESET Button (Red): Used to restore power to the GFCI after it has tripped (either manually or due to a ground fault).
6.2. LED දර්ශකය
- ඝන කොළ: The GFCI is functioning correctly and providing ground fault protection.
- Off or Red: The GFCI has tripped, or there is no power to the outlet.
- Flashing Red (End-of-Life): The GFCI has reached the end of its useful life and can no longer provide ground fault protection. It must be replaced immediately.
6.3. Self-Test Function
The ANKO GFCI outlet automatically performs a self-test every 40 seconds. During this test, the red light may blink once. This is normal operation and indicates the GFCI is continually monitoring its ability to protect against ground faults.
7. නඩත්තු කිරීම
- මාසික පරීක්ෂණ: It is recommended to test your GFCI outlet monthly to ensure proper operation. Follow the "Initial Test" steps outlined in Section 5.3.
- පිරිසිදු කිරීම: Clean the surface of the outlet and wall plate with a soft, damp රෙදි. උල්ෙල්ඛ පිරිසිදු කරන්නන් හෝ ද්රාවණ භාවිතා නොකරන්න.
- පරීක්ෂාව: Periodically inspect the outlet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, discoloration, or loose connections.
