4. Istruzioni per l'installazione
Follow these steps carefully to install your Leviton BR20-I duplex receptacle:
- Spegnimento dell'alimentazione: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the outlet you are working on and turn off the power. Verify the power is off using a voltagetester.
- Rimuovere la vecchia presa (se applicabile): Unscrew the wallplate and then the mounting screws holding the old receptacle in the electrical box. Carefully pull the old receptacle out of the box.
- Scollegare i fili: Disconnect the wires from the old receptacle. Note which wire was connected to which terminal (hot, neutral, ground). Typically, black wires are hot, white wires are neutral, and bare copper or green wires are ground.
- Preparare i cavi: Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire. For solid wire, create a hook shape at the end of each wire.
- Collegare il filo di terra: Connect the bare copper or green insulated ground wire to the green grounding screw on the receptacle. Ensure the wire forms a full loop around the screw in a clockwise direction and tighten securely.
- Collegare il filo neutro: Connect the white (neutral) wire to one of the silver-colored terminal screws. Ensure the wire forms a full loop around the screw in a clockwise direction and tighten securely.
- Connect Hot Wires: Connect the black (hot) wires to the brass-colored terminal screws. Ensure the wire forms a full loop around the screw in a clockwise direction and tighten securely. If there are two hot wires, use both brass screws.
- Presa sicura: Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box. Insert the new receptacle into the box and secure it with the provided mounting screws.
- Installare la piastra a muro: Attach the wallplate over the receptacle.
- Ripristina alimentazione: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Test the receptacle with a known working device.
