20 Amp SmartlockPro® Blank Face AFCI Receptacle/Outlet

AFRBF-T

SmartlockPro, AFCI, Blank Face Receptacle Outlet, Commercial Specification Grade, 20 Amp, 125 Volt, Back and Side Wire, 2-Pole, 3-Wire, Self-Grounding Clip Included - Light Almond The SmartlockPro® Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) AFCI Receptacle offers advanced technology to help protect against electrical fires resulting from arc-faults. Designed to detect a wide range of potentially hazardous arc-faults resulting from damage in branch circuit wiring as well as extensions to branches such as appliances and cord sets, the OBC AFCI responds by interrupting power. This helps reduce the likelihood of the home’s electrical system being an ignition source of a fire. Often unseen, arc-faults can occur anywhere in the home’s electrical system including within walls, at loose electrical connections or within electrical cords accidently damaged by impinging furniture. AFCI’s are now required by the National Electrical Code® in many areas of the home.

Use of TEST and RESET buttons is similar to traditional GFCI receptacles of which consumers have become familiar with. This translates into greater acceptance of the technology and a more user-friendly platform
Automatically tests the AFCI every time the RESET button is depressed; the AFCI will not reset if the AFCI circuit is not functioning properly
By blocking reset of the AFCI if protection has been compromised, the SmartlockPro OBC AFCI reduces the possibility of end-users incorrectly assuming that a reset AFCI is providing protection when its functionality has been compromised
A line-load reversal diagnostic feature is provided which prevents the AFCI from being reset and stops power from being fed to the AFCI receptacle face or through to downstream devices; a green LED indicator on the AFCI’s face also illuminates to alert the installer to a line-load wiring reversal when the device is in the tripped state
Device design reduces nuisance tripping
Impact-resistant thermoplastic cover and body
Superior resistance to electrical surges and over-voltages
Terminals allow for easy wiring options – back and side wire capable
Compatible with all Decora® devices and wallplates; available in select colors
Meets or exceeds UL requirements for tripping time on both series and parallel arcs
