Page 7 of 14 2475DA1 - Rev: 4/20/2012 4:35 PM NOTE: If In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Status LED is blinking, you held the Set button down too long and accidentally placed it into linking mode, which times out after 4 minutes of inactivity. To manually exit linking mode, tap any button except Set button. Beeper Behavior The In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band features a built-in beeper which aids in programming and can also be used as an indicator via compatible software controllers. Here are the different beeping behaviors and what they mean: - Single beep: Transition from one setup mode to another - Double-beep: Successful link or unlink - Continuous beeps for 3 seconds: unsuccessful link or 4-minute setup timeout - Continuous beeps for 10 seconds: warning prior to a factory reset Setting Up an INSTEON Scene INSTEON remote control is done using scenes. Scenes allow you to instantly activate favorite lighting and appliance settings at the touch of a button (or in response to a command from a central controller or sensor). Each scene has at least one controller and at least one responder linked to one another. Simple scenes can be set up using the instructions below. Software such as HouseLinc is recommended for setup of larger scenes. Adding In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to a Scene as an INSTEON Responder 1) Use the ON/OFF buttons on In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to adjust the load to the state you wish to activate from the controller . 2) Press and hold the scene controller button until it beeps.1 Controller’s LED will blink. 3) Press and hold the Set button on In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band until it double-beeps. Controller will double-beep2 and its LED will stop blinking. 4) Confirm that scene addition was successful by toggling the controller’s scene button on and off. Light should go to the level you defined in step 2. Removing In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band from a Scene as an INSTEON Responder If you are going to uninstall In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band, it is very important that you remove it from all of its scene controllers. Otherwise, controllers will experience delays and may produce flashing error indications. 1) Press and hold controller’s scene button until controller beeps.3 Controller’s LED will blink. 2) Press and hold Controller’s scene button until controller beeps again.3 Controller’s LED will continue blinking. 3) Press and hold Set button on In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band until it double-beeps. Controller will double-beep2 and its LED will stop blinking. 4) Confirm scene removal was successful by tapping the button on the controller with the scene you just removed. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will no longer respond. 1 If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking 2 Most models 3 For devices without beepers hold until its LED begins blinking (this may take 10+ seconds)
Page 8 of 14 2475DA1 - Rev: 4/20/2012 4:35 PM Advanced Features Using In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band as a Phase Bridge In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home to allow powerline-only INSTEON devices to communicate with RF-only INSTEON devices. If you are relying on In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to bridge the building’s electrical phases, use the following procedure to activate phase bridging detection mode: 1) Start phase bridging detection mode by tapping In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Set button four times quickly. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will begin beeping and setup LED will be solid green. 2) Check the LED behavior of the “other” dual-band devices. a) If it is blinking green, it is within range and not on the same electrical phase. Go to step 3. b) If it is not blinking green, try moving the device, check other devices or begin the test from a different device. 3) Tap In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Set Button. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band stops beeping and LED returns to previous state. Other devices’ LEDs will stop blinking in a few seconds. Power Restoration In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band stores all of its scenes, properties, etc. in its internal non-volatile memory. As such, all settings are retained after a power outage. Upon power restoration, In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will return its connected load and all LEDs to their states prior to power outage. X10 Programming Instructions on setting X10 primary address and scene addresses can be found online at http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-x10-programming.html. Factory Reset Factory Reset clears all user settings from In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band including INSTEON Scenes, On-Levels, Ramp Rates, X10 addresses, etc. Option 1 1) If possible, remove all scene memberships prior to performing the factory reset. 2) Press and hold Set button on In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band until it beeps. LED will blink green. 3) Press and hold In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Set button until it beeps again. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s LED will blink red. 4) Double-tap the Set button, then immediately press and hold it until the long beep stops. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will emit a long beep and its LED will turn off. The connected load will turn on. Option 2 – partner required 1) If possible, remove all scene memberships prior to performing the factory reset. 2) Turn off circuit breaker. 3) While pressing and holding In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Set button (do not let go), have a partner turn on the circuit breaker. As you continue to press and hold, In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will emit a long beep. 4) Continue to press and hold Set button until long beep stops, then release. As soon as you release Set button, In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band LED will turn on.
Page 9 of 14 2475DA1 - Rev: 4/20/2012 4:35 PM After a few seconds, In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will double-beep. The connected load will turn on. Local Ramp Rate The local ramp rate is the time it takes for the light(s) physically wired to In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to brighten from off to 100% brightness and vice versa. The default ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but it is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 9 seconds locally or up to 8 minutes using software such as HouseLinc. Ramp rate is determined using the brightness level of the load. Refer to the chart below to determine the ramping speed based on the load brightness. Brightness Level Ramp Rate in Seconds 90-100% 0.1 77-87% 0.2 65-74% 0.3 52-61% 2.0 39-48% 2.0 26-35% 4.5 13-23% 6.5 1-10% 8.5 1% 9.0 1) Adjust the connected light(s) to the brightness level corresponding to desired ramp rate. 2) Double-tap In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band’s Set button. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band will double-beep. 3) Test the ramp rate settings by tapping the ON/OFF buttons. The connected light(s) will brighten and dim at the new rate. 4) If your double-tap was not fast enough, you may have accidentally changed the local on-level instead of the local ramp rate. (Note: software such as HouseLinc allows you to remotely set on-levels and ramp rates exactly as desired and consistently around the house.)

Page 13 of 14 2475DA1 - Rev: 4/20/2012 4:35 PM Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band won’t control the load and the Status LED is not turning on. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band may not be getting power. Check the junction box wires to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed. The controller might have been reset without removing In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band from a scene. Re-add In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to the controller. The INSTEON signal may be too weak. Add additional INSTEON devices or move around existing INSTEON devices. All INSTEON devices act as INSTEON network repeaters Large appliances such as refrigerators or air conditioners may be producing electrical noise on the powerline. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band won’t add to a scene or respond to a controller. Other electrical devices, such as computers, televisions, or power strips, may be absorbing the INSTEON signal. Install a powerline noise filter (FilterLinc #1626-10) to filter electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation. Remove any unused responders from the controller. HINT: If you are using home automation software such as HouseLinc, you can easily check scene membership and eliminate any unnecessary links. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band is taking a long time to respond to a controller. The controller may be sending commands to a responder that is no longer in use. Commands for the unused responder are being resent and loading down the signal. If the above doesn’t work, perform a factory reset on the controller. The load turned on by itself. Another controller or timer could have triggered In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band. Perform a factory reset. See Factory Reset. The controller can turn off In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band but it doesn’t turn on. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band may be added to a scene at its off state. Re-add In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to a scene on the controller while the load is on. See Adding In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band to a Scene as an INSTEON Responder. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band is locked up. A surge or excessive noise on the powerline may have glitched it. Temporarily remove power from In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band, usually by opening the breaker feeding it. If you have tried these solutions, reviewed this manual and still cannot resolve an issue you are having with In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band, please call the INSTEON Support Line at 800-762-7845.
