FAQs
Install begins with ensuring the power source is de-energized. Connect the 6' cord (#12 AWG) to a standard 120V supply via the 5-15 straight blade plug, then plug the receiver into the tool or outlet. After installation, press the reset button to energize and test the outlet under load. Always verify NEC compliance for outdoor use with wet conditions.
Yes. The unit uses a standard 5-15R straight blade receptacle and #12 AWG cord, designed for common extension cords and portable tools. Its 6' cord length provides flexibility on cluttered job sites, while the 120V, 15A rating covers a wide range of power tools and temporary circuits without adapters.
Its watertight polycarbonate enclosure provides a durable, corrosion-resistant barrier against moisture and washdown exposure. The device carries NEC compliance and a NEMA 4X rating, translating to reliable protection in outdoor or damp settings and reduced risk of electrical shock during rainfall or spray-down cleaning.
The GFI11M255 is NEC compliant, making it suitable for construction sites, maintenance yards, and outdoor event setups where portable electrical protection is mandated. Its GFCI interlock and manual reset ensure safe re-energization after an earth-fault, aligning with typical regulatory requirements for temporary power distribution.
Maintenance is minimal: regularly inspect the enclosure for cracks, ensure the reset function operates, and test the protection during start-up. The ROI comes from reduced downtime, safer work conditions, and faster restart after trips, which translates to fewer delays and safer, more compliant temporary power on site.
