2. Preparazione di u pannellu: Ensure the load center is properly wired according to local electrical codes, with hot and neutral wires terminated at the designated custom lugs.
3. Piazzamentu di l'interruttore: Identify the appropriate slot in the load center for the 2-pole 30A GFCI breaker.
4. Plug-On Installation: Align the circuit breaker with the bus bar and firmly press it into place until it is securely seated. The plug-on design ensures a reliable connection.
5. Cunnessione filu: Connect the load wires to the appropriate terminals on the circuit breaker. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
6. Ground and Neutral Connections: Verify that the ground and neutral wires are correctly connected within the panel as per the load center's instructions.
7. Ripristina l'energia: Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, close the panel cover and restore power to the main service panel.

Istruzzioni di funziunamentu

The Leviton LB230-GF circuit breaker is designed for intuitive operation and status indication.

• Funzionamentu ON/OFF: To turn the circuit ON, push the handle firmly to the 'ON' position. To turn it OFF, push the handle firmly to the 'OFF' position.
• Indicazione di viaghju: In the event of an overload, short-circuit, or ground fault, the circuit breaker will trip, moving the handle to a central 'TRIPPED' position.
• Indicatori LED: The breaker features color indicators in the handle and LEDs that communicate the trip condition and type of fault. These LEDs remain illuminated even when in a tripped state, allowing for easy identification of the fault type.
• Hydraulic Magnetic Technology: This precision trip technology ensures consistent operation across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), without requiring re-rating.

Mantenimentu

The Leviton LB230-GF circuit breaker requires minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections are recommended.

• Ispezione visuale: Ispettate periodicamente l'interruttore automaticu per ogni segnu di danni fisichi, scolorimentu o cunnessione allentate.
• Pulsante di prova: GFCI circuit breakers typically include a test button. Refer to the specific instructions on the breaker itself or the load center for recommended testing frequency (usually monthly). Pressing the test button should trip the breaker. If it does not, the breaker may be faulty and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Pulizia: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the breaker with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.

Risoluzione di prublemi

Sè l'interruttore automaticu si scatta, seguitate sti passi:

1. Identify Fault: Observe the LED indicators on the breaker to determine the type of fault (e.g., ground fault, arc fault, overload).
2. Disconnect Load: Turn off or unplug all appliances and devices connected to the affected circuit.
3. Reset Breaker: Push the breaker handle completely to the 'OFF' position, then firmly to the 'ON' position.
4. Circuit d'essai : If the breaker holds, gradually reconnect devices to identify the faulty appliance or overloaded condition.
5. Scattamentu persistente: If the breaker trips immediately after resetting, or if the LEDs indicate a persistent fault, there may be a wiring issue or a severe fault in the circuit. In such cases, do not attempt further resets. Contact a qualified electrician for diagnosis and repair.
6. Reset Lockout: If the breaker will not reset, it may be due to the patented reset lockout technology, indicating that ground or arc fault protection is compromised. This is a safety feature. Do not attempt to bypass it. Contact a qualified electrician.
