Pro Power Ground Fault?

[Biggerfish]

Sorry if this has been covered already. (Searched but could not locate exact subject). I just got my 23 Pro a few weeks ago, and am still playing/learning. Yesterday, I was monkeying around, and pressed the Pro Power Test button on the console and got this message:

Do I still have a ground fault? And if so should I Reset? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

You have a ground fault because you pressed the 'Test' button to trigger a ground fault. It's just a GFCI - you need to reset it for the outlets to work again.

Ah. Lol! The modern man’s GFCI green test button! Got it, and thanks a bunch!

Very bad wording on the screen. My dealer also had trouble figuring out exactly what it was saying. It should be clear that it is a "test" and what the Alert means.

Agreed.

It makes sense - the system doesn't know it's a test or a real fault, it just reacts because the GFCI was tripped. You'll see the same message if you use a standard GFCI outlet tester (or a paperclip) to perform the test, rather than the test button.

In an ideal world this is the best process - if you program the system to be aware of the test, then when you push the button, you're just testing the 'test' process, not the 'actual fault' process.
