#StepResult
1
Turn the breaker for this outlet off, then tell me when it's off.
Everything after this is hands-on, so the circuit has to be off first.
NOWVOICE
2
Hold your tester on the receptacle where I can see it, and tell me what it reads.
A camera cannot establish absence of voltage; the electrician must test and report it.
—VOICE
3
Take off the faceplate and pull the old receptacle out of the box so the wires are visible.
You need to see which wires come in from the panel before you land them on the new device.
—CAM
4
Turn the new GFCI around and find the LINE pair and the LOAD pair on the back. Show me the back.
A GFCI only protects correctly when the incoming power is on LINE.
—CAM
5
On the inert single-feed prop, connect the identified incoming pair to LINE and the grounding conductor as the device instructions specify. Leave LOAD covered.
Reversing LINE and LOAD can prevent this GFCI from resetting; a photo cannot verify torque or hidden connections.
—CAM
6
Mount the device and faceplate. For this inert demo, describe the simulated TEST and RESET outcome; do not energize the prop.
The worker confirms the functional result; the camera cannot establish electrical protection.
