The picture shows a device without a GFCI trip button. Is it on the backside? The HomeDepot picture (same model#) shows the button on the same side as the indicator light decoder key.

I have this same one and it does have one on the other side the picture is taken from right underneath the black writting that tells you what each light combination means.

The trip button IS in the other side (nearest the blades). There are light decoder labels on both sides as the unit can be read from either side depending on the orientation of the receptacle.

I no longer have the "User's Guide," but the box does not indicate GFCI.However, I have been running this for quite some time now, flawlessly (no circuit braker activity), and the exterior plastic appears to be a good insulator.

Others have answered this question correctly. It is not a GFCI and won't provide any GFCI protection. It is however a really cool product and I have liked the functionality it has given me. I installed it in a location that did not need GFCI protection.

I am not an electrician, I had one put mine in and I don't remember exactly what he did. Sorry. There may be instructions with it.

The light is the same as your basic GFI receptacle. I wouldn't expect it to be noticeable with the lights out assuming the TV is in front of it. Really have to look behind the TV to see if the light is on.

We didn't get any instructions with it. It came with one which we didn't use. My husband believes the diode is if we had a lighted (sp) door bell button. Which we don't.

I might be ignorant, but I don't see the "little exterior part". I interested to buy this door chime, but the large size of the push button shown in the picture is holding me back. I am just looking for a small button like the size that is being discussed. Is it included in the kit as well?

I AGREE with this previous answer.... That is an indicator light in the center, and not a switch. This is a wall mounted surge protector, and you need an in-the-wall ground fault circuit interruptor duplex receptacle, which you can get at a big box store or Amazon. This is usually a code requirement in water environments (kitchens, baths, and outside). Hope this helps.

The on-off switch and the separate variable heat rheostat are the on opposite side from the red light in the photo. They should have taken the photo with the switches on the front. The red light on the back merely tells, when it is glowing, that it is on (and heating). This is the BEST blech/warming tray that there is. Terrific product.

No, a GFCI senses an imbalance between the hot wire (black) and the neutral wire (white) presumably a situation where part of the current is going somewhere other than returning directly to the power source. A GFCI trip is also many times faster that a circuit breaker trip thereby reducing the risk to human life. Now, having said that, it is generally an allowed practice to replace household two prong receptacles with 3 prong GFCI receptacles (requires a sticker on the receptacle staring that it is not grounded) but it does not / can not replace a ground wire (green or bare) that is not there.

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

I did not have a problem with mine. My original was Yellow and Grey buttons. I replaced it with Green and Grey button remote (as shown). They both had (4) dip switches. I verified that the replacement dip switches matched the replaced remote (which coincidently was exact and did not need to be changed - but if it did, I would have used a eyeglass screwdriver to reset the switches) Everything works, including the light dimmer. I took a chance, as I did not want to buy the complete fan and remote set replacement. For me, it worked like new.

It will not trip just because power goes off and on.If it trips because of a ground fault or because you test it, the gfci will not reset automatically. You must push the reset button.

The manufacturer does not include instructions with this product. The + and - on the back of the button are for the 12VDC input (regulated) for the LED. The red bar on the back of the button separates the remaining contacts that 'close' when the button is depressed. Ensure you connect your circuit to the contacts on either side of the red bar. Also, please note the switch is rated at 0.25A max. Please use a relay if your application needs more amperage.

Yes it does, but I find the explanation on the box and in the User's Manual to contradict each other. On the box, it says the On/Off switch doubles as a resettable circuit breaker. It says just move switch back to "ON" position to reset. However, in the Manual it says : As a circuit breaker, when it trips due to an overload condition, the ON/OFF Switch goes to the OFF position. Disconnect all connected equipment, and set the ON/OFF position to ON. Reconnect all devices to be protected one at a time. DO NOT reconnect the device that caused the switch to trip. I find that confusing. How are you supposed to know if one of the plugged devices caused it to turn off and if it does how do you determine which one it is? Am I just stupid? In another section it says that this device features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load - now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the device. It does have a reset switch, but I am not sure it works after it is hit by a power surge like a lightning strike. Sorry about my ridiculously long answer, but I am somewhat confused by conflicting statements in literature. Good luck!

I did, but I'm not sure I should have. Nothing bad happened to the outlets, but it didn't seem to register a response. As I recall, the instructions said it was for GFCI outlets only - of course, I read it AFTER I used it in non-GFCI outlets. I hope this helps you.
