Self-test auto monitor ground fault circuit interrupter (gfci) with power denial

A method of operating a circuit interrupting device, the method comprising:

• connecting an external power supply via one or more line terminals;
• connecting an external load via one or more load terminals for;
• electrically connecting one or more line terminals to one or more load terminals via one or more contacts;
• monitoring, via an auto-monitoring circuit, one or more signals to determine an operating state of said circuit interrupting device;
• outputting, via the auto-monitoring circuit, a first signal having a first voltage level based on the operating state, wherein the first voltage level is greater than zero volts;
• and
• outputting, via the auto-monitoring circuit, a second signal having a second voltage level based on the operating state, wherein the second voltage level is greater than the first voltage level.
