TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: AFCI does not trip after pressing the test button.
Possible Cause
Panelboard is not energized
The circuit breaker handle is in the "OFF" position
The circuit breaker is in the tripped position
Panel neutral (terminal) is not connected to the neutral
bus bar
Problem: AFCI trips immediately after the AFCI or a connected device has been turned on.
Possible Cause
Short-circuit
Neutral is shared with a circuit other than the two circuits
intended
An arc-fault condition exists
Problem: AFCI trips after it has been turned on, but not immediately
Possible Cause
Overloaded circuit
An arc-fault condition exists
If solutions do not work, the AFCI circuit breaker must be replaced.
AFCI will need to be replaced if the following conditions are displayed by the yellow LEDs
LED (L, N): Blinking
LED Indication Guide (after recent trip has occurred) (See Figure 1)
Turn AFCI to "ON" position
Observe LED indications and compare to chart at right:
LED indications will appear for 5 seconds each time the AFCI is turned "ON"
and will display each time the breaker is reset up to 30 days after the last trip.
The last known trip condition can be cleared by the following process:
1. Turn the AFCI to the "OFF" position.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both PTT buttons.
3. Turn the AFCI to the "ON" position.
4. Simultaneously release both PTT buttons within (3) seconds.

Solution
Check to ensure that the panelboard is energized.
The circuit breaker handle must be in the "ON" position.
Reset the circuit breaker by switching the handle to the "OFF" position and then to the "ON" position.
Check that the load power wire, panel neutral (terminal) wire and load neutral wire are properly connected.
Solution
If the AFCI trips when a device is turned on, remove the device from the circuit and turn the AFCI on. If the AFCI does not trip
this would indicate a short in the device. A qualified electrician should make the repairs.
Check wiring to ensure that the neutral connection is ONLY shared between the two circuits protected by this
AFCI.
Reset the circuit breaker by switching the handle to the "OFF" position and then to the "ON" position. If the AFCI
trips again, call a qualified electrician to make the repairs.
Solution
There are probably too many devices plugged into the circuits and overloading the AFCI.
Reset the circuit breaker by switching the handle to the "OFF" position and then to the "ON" position. If the AFCI
trips again, call a qualified electrician to make the repairs.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1
1. Turn "OFF" and lock out the power to the equipment in which the AFCI is to be installed.
2. Move the handle of the breaker (A) to the "OFF" position.
3. Engage the back of the AFCI with the mounting tabs in the panelboard. Push down
firmly on the front end to engage both the line terminal stab and neutral terminal
stab.
4. Strip insulation off load wires to a length of 3/8 in.
Connect load neutral wire (not shown) into the panel neutral bar and load power
5.
wires (E and F) to terminals (G and I) as shown in Fig.1. Torque per specifications
on wiring diagram or equipment label.
Ensure that wire connectors are properly torqued to 25 lb in.
To be installed only in Siemens Plug-On Neutral Enclosures.
TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn on power to load center or panel board.
2. Turn "ON" the AFCI handle.
3. Press one of the blue push to test buttons (PTT) (J or K) as shown in Fig.1.
4. If the handle moves to the tripped position, move the handle of the breaker (A) to
the "OFF" position and then to the "ON" position to reset the breaker.
5. Press the other blue push to test buttons (PTT) (J or K) as shown in Fig.1. Repeat
step 4.
The AFCI breaker is functioning properly when the following conditions are met:
1. The circuit is interrupted.
2. The handle moves to the tripped center position (P) as shown in Fig.1.
If the breaker does not trip, check the troubleshooting section below.
Note: Test every month.
