FanLinc is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. FanLinc is not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than 120VAC, 50Hz / 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use FanLinc on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences. • Use only indoors or in outdoor rated box • Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing FanLinc in. Installing FanLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages. • Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to FanLinc • FanLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the FanLinc air vents is as clear of clutter as possible. • To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use FanLinc Load output to control no more than 300 watts of 120VAC incandescent lamps plus no more than 1 Amp of Fan load. Dimming an inductive load (by connecting to the Light load wire), such as a fan or transformer, could cause damage to the dimmer, the load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD. • You will need a flathead screwdriver, a phillips head screwdriver and a voltage meter to install FanLinc Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home To install FanLinc, you will need to identify the following four wires: • LINE - usually black, may also be called HOT or LIVE, carries 120VAC electricity into the outlet • NEUTRAL - usually white • LOAD – Usually Blue or Red • GROUND - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded) If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you. IMPORTANT! If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with, electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install this device for you. If you have any questions, please consult an electrician.

SEE “SETTING UP INSTEON SCENES” 18) Optional: Cover LED's with black electrical tape to avoid unwanted glowing at night which may be visible in some fan cowlings If using software and you program LED’s off, they remain on until you send a FanLinc a fan command from an INSTEON controller 19) Carefully remount cowling with FanLinc inside (or in electrical box above). Certain installations may require the use of a UL rated cable tie (included) to secure FanLinc to the fan bracket. Run cable tie
Page 6 of 13 Rev: 12/7/2011 3:09 PM in the notches on the FanLinc case; ensure that cable tie and wires will not interfere with any moving parts. INSTEON Scenes Scene: One or more INSTEON responders (like FanLinc) which respond to an INSTEON controller. When the scene is activated (turned “on”), all devices return to the states they were at when the scene was programmed. INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods at the touch of a button. For example, you can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% and have the ceiling fan spinning slowly, all with the tap of a button on any INSTEON controller. INSTEON scenes are easy to set up, just follow the directions below. Add FanLinc’s Light to a Scene as a Responder Follow the steps below to add your light to an INSTEON scene. 1) Press & hold the scene controller button until it beeps1 Controller’s LED will blink 2) Tap FanLinc’s Light Set button until the connected light is on Light’s LED will be GREEN 3) Press & hold FanLinc’s Light Set button until FanLinc double-beeps Light’s LED will flash once & return to GREEN Controller will (Beep)-(Beep)3 and its LED will stop blinking 4) Make sure the fan’s lights are connected to the assembly, confirm that the scene addition was successful by tapping On / Off on your scene controller The Light Connected to FanLinc will toggle between On and Off 5) If you wish to adjust the light’s scene On-Level and/or Ramp Rate Adjusting Ramp Rate: a. Using your Scene Controller, adjust the light’s brightness to correspond with the ramp rate desired (Ramp Rates) b. Double-Tap FanLinc’s Fan Set Button c. Return to step #1 above Adjusting On-Level: a. Using your scene controller, adjust the light’s brightness to the desired brightness for your scene b. Return to Step #1 6) If you wish to add FanLinc’s light to more scenes, simply repeat these steps Add FanLinc’s Fan to a Scene as a Responder Follow the steps below to add your ceiling fan to an INSTEON scene. 1 If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking 3 Most models
