Description
ReadyTrace Outdoor Use GFCI Outlet Adapter (RED-GFCI2) is an indispensable safety device engineered to provide critical electrical protection in any outdoor setting. This adapter seamlessly converts a standard electrical outlet into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet, ensuring that any connected appliance or device is safeguarded against dangerous electrical shocks. It continuously monitors the electrical current for any leakage to the ground, and in the event of a fault, it instantly trips, cutting off power before harm can occur.
Designed for robust outdoor use, the RED-GFCI2 is particularly vital when operating tools, outdoor lighting, or especially with ReadyTrace self-regulating heating cables used for freeze protection on roofs, gutters, and pipes. Its all-weather construction means it stands up to the elements, providing consistent and reliable safety where it's needed most. Simple to use and highly effective, this GFCI adapter is an essential component for maintaining a safe outdoor electrical environment.

- Plug into Power Source: Plug the RED-GFCI2 GFCI adapter directly into a standard 120V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is clean and free from debris.
- Perform Test: Press the "TEST" button on the GFCI adapter. The "RESET" button should pop out, and the indicator light (if present) should turn off, indicating that the GFCI mechanism has tripped.
- Reset the Adapter: Press the "RESET" button firmly. The "RESET" button should click into place, and the indicator light should illuminate (if applicable), signifying that the GFCI is active and ready for use.
- Connect Your Device: Plug your outdoor electrical device or appliance (e.g., power tool, string lights, ReadyTrace heating cable) into the single outlet on the RED-GFCI2 adapter.
- Monitor Operation: The GFCI adapter will continuously monitor the current. If a ground fault is detected, it will automatically trip, cutting off power. If this occurs, unplug the connected device, investigate the cause of the fault, and reset the GFCI once the issue is resolved.
