Warranty shall not apply to defects caused by misuse or neglect. U.S. Patent No. 7,345,998, International patents pending © Copyright 2010 Smarthome, 16542 Millikan Ave., Irvine, CA 92606, 800-762-7845 (Wallplate sold separately) Set Button Quick-Start Guide OutletLinc™ – INSTEON® Remote Control Dimmer Outlet (Dual-Band) Model: 2472D Preparation Installation should be performed only by a qualified electrician or by a homeowner who is familiar and comfortable with electrical circuitry. If you have any questions regarding installation, we suggest consulting an electrician. If you have any questions regarding setup, contact the INSTEON Gold Support Line. Tools Needed • Phillips and standard screwdrivers • Wire cutter / stripper • Voltage tester to identify wires inside the junction box Introduction OutletLinc brings the power of INSTEON into your home, allowing you to remotely control and dim any device plugged directly into the top outlet. OutletLinc also works as an INSTEON signal repeater and can be used to bridge the power phases in your home (like an Access Point, #2443). Use indoors only with incandescent loads up to 300 Watts. Controlled receptacle StatusLED Uncontrolled receptacle Installation Instructions 1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disable the circuit supplying power to the outlet 2) Remove the existing wallplate from the outlet you are replacing. Then, unscrew the outlet itself and pull it out from the junction box. 3) Disconnect the wires from the outlet you are replacing and ensure that you have ½ inch of bare wires on the ends 4) To correctly identify the outlet’s LINE, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires, enable power to the outlet from the circuit breaker or use a line voltage meter, and then turn the breaker off again 5) Twist together the bare copper OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s GROUND wire with an included wire nut 6) Twist together the white OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s NEUTRAL wire (usually white) with an included wire nut 7) Twist together the black OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s LINE wire with an included wire nut 8) Ensure all the wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire 9) Carefully install OutletLinc into the electrical box and replace the wallplate 10) Enable power to the outlet from the circuit breaker or fuse panel The OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid red 11) Attach the included Outlet Dimmer Key to the plug of the load you wish to control with the magnet at the bottom. The flat side of the key should face away from the prongs of the plug (so the key will lay flush against OutletLinc when the load is plugged in). 12) Plug the load into the top outlet on OutletLinc The load should turn on and the OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid green 13) If the load does not turn on, turn it on manually using the switch on the load itself OPTIONAL: You can use the bottom outlet on OutletLinc as you would and ordinary outlet. To control the load, you will need to Link OutletLinc to an INSTEON Controller (see Linking OutletLinc as a Responder). You will not be able to control the load from OutletLinc itself. See the Controller’s Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to control OutletLinc. NOTE: You will not be able to control the load from the manual switch. Make sure the load’s manual switch is always in the on position. Otherwise, the load will not receive INSTEON communications.

Using OutletLinc as a Responder 1) Make sure the load is on. If the load is not on, unplug it from OutletLinc and then plug it back in. The load should turn on and the OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid green 2) Set the Controller to Linking Mode*. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for 10 seconds or the Set button for 3 seconds.) 3) Press & hold the Set button on OutletLinc until it double-beeps (3 seconds) The OutletLinc Status LED should flash once, and then turn on solid green 4) Confirm that Linking was successful by tapping the button you just Linked to on the Controller OutletLinc should respond appropriately Using OutletLinc as a Phase Bridger OutletLinc can help bridge the phases in your home and allow RF-only devices access to power line-only devices. For the best INSTEON network performance, it is recommended that you install at least two dual-band INSTEON devices. Search for dual-band INSTEON devices at: www.smarthome.com/dualband. Use the following procedure to test that the phases have been bridged: 1) Install additional dual-band INSTEON devices if they aren’t already installed 2) Start Phase Bridging Detection Mode* by tapping the Set button on OutletLinc four times quickly OutletLinc should begin beeping and the LED should be solid green The load may turn on or flash 3) Check the LED behavior of the other dual-band devices to see if they are on the opposite phase If at least one of the other dual-band device LEDs is blinking green, or is bright solid white or blue, the device is on the opposite phase. Continue to step 4. If none of the other dual-band devices exhibit the behavior above, they are on the same phase. Try one or both of the following: • Follow steps 2 and 3 with the other dual-band devices to see if they are bridging the phases • Move a dual-band device to another location until it exhibits the desired behavior 4) Tap the Set button on OutletLinc to exit Phase Bridging Detection Mode OutletLinc should stop beeping and the Status LED should remain solid green if the load is on or turn solid red if it is off Complete Instructions, Troubleshooting, and Tech Support Owner’s Manual: http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2472D_Manual Call: INSTEON Gold Support Line at 800-762-7845 CAUTION for the Dimmer Outlet CAUTION - To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment do not install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied appliance.
