The PC-Series, AC Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO), combines the ground
fault protection of a GFCI with the familiar overcurrent tripping characteristics of a normal circuit breaker. It
detects lower level ground faults that do not trip ordinary circuit breakers, but could lead to shock hazards and fires
in installations near water. Innovative features include status LED indicators distinguishing if a breaker is closed
with line voltage present, or has opened due to leakage current, or has opened due to over current, or is closed with
no line voltage present. It also offers an optional Hot/Neutral reversal detection and protection.

GFCI Test Instructions

3.
4.
5.
Turn “OFF” the GFCI Breaker actuator. Turn on the power to the panel. The green and red LED’s should be off.
Turn “ON” the GFCI Breaker actuator. The green “POWER” LED should show steady illumination and the red “LEAKAGE
FAULT” LED should flash every 3 seconds to indicate a successful self-test.
Depress the “TEST” button. This will cause the actuator to move to the “OFF” position and the red LED to turn on and show
steady illumination, indicating that the GFCI is functioning properly. The green LED will also go from steady to off. If the actuator
fails to move to the “OFF” position or the red LED fails to illuminate, the unit MUST be replaced.
Turn the GFCI Breaker actuator to the “ON” position. The red LED should flash every 3 seconds and the green LED should
show steady illumination.
This test is to be performed on a monthly basis and recorded on the “Monthly Test Reminder” label.
ELCI LED Indication
Indicator -
Two integrated LEDs, Red & Green
•
Green LED On, Red LED Off - Line Voltage is present, the breaker is closed, and the device is protecting the circuits against
over current and leakage current.
•
Green LED Off, Red LED On - The device has detected leakage current and has opened the circuit breaker.
•
Green LED Flashing, Red LED Off - The circuit breaker has opened due to over current or has been turned off manually
•
Green LED Off, Red LED Off - Line Voltage is not present
•
Green LED Flashing, Red LED Off, Amber LED ON - Indicates Hot & Neutral are reversed and the circuit breaker is open
Neutral Protection - When neutral is grounded on load side of circuit
Test Button - Located on Ground Fault Module
