The device initiating an INSTEON message is called a Controller. The device receiving the message is called a Responder The association between the controller and responder is called a Link Link Responder Controller Please note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way”, simply repeat link setup process “the other way”. Most INSTEON devices can store hundreds of links. Furthermore, a controller can simultaneously control from 1 to hundreds of responders using what are called groups and scenes. Each link can have its own properties (e.g. 50% brightness at a 4 second ramp rate). Make SwitchLinc a Responder Follow the steps below to control SwitchLinc from another INSTEON device. 5) Press & hold controller button until it beeps1 Controller LED will start blinking 6) Tap SwitchLinc on (or off if desired for the link) Controller Load will be on (or off) 7) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it double-beeps Controller LED will stop blinking and it will (beep)-(beep)2 8) Test by tapping controller button on and off SwitchLinc will respond appropriately SwitchLinc (Responder) Note: the link just created is one-way, see “Make SwitchLinc a Controller” to add another link to keep the two products in synch. Make SwitchLinc a Controller (Add a Responder) Follow the steps below to control an INSTEON device from SwitchLinc. Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it beeps SwitchLinc LED will start blinking green 2) Adjust the responder(s) to the “state” you want when scene is activated from SwitchLinc (e.g., 50%, 25% or even OFF)1 3) Press & hold responder set button until it double-beeps (or until its LED/Load flashes) SwitchLinc LED will stop blinking 1) SwitchLinc (Controller) Responder If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking Most models If the responder is a multi-Scene device such as a KeypadLinc, tap the Scene button you wish to control until its LED is in the desired Scene state (on or off) Page 12 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM Responder LED will stop blinking and it may (Beep)-(Beep) 3 5) Test by tapping SwitchLinc paddle on and off Responder will toggle between the scene on level and off 6) If you wish to add another responder, repeat steps 1-5 or (see Add Multiple Responders) Notes: - The link just created is one-way, see “SwitchLinc a Controller” to add another link to keep the two products in synch. - If you wish the SwitchLinc load to be off when the link is activated (ie for an “all off” scene), turn the load off in step #2. Groups (keeps devices synchronized) formerly “Cross-Linking” Devices in a group share all the same settings (e.g., on-level, ramp rate). This keeps all group members synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of, and responder to, all the other devices. The most common example of a group is a 3-way lighting circuit (2 switches). For simplicity, we will assume that the desired group level is on. Example: 3 way circuit with switches “A” and “B” 1) Turn A and B on 2) Press & hold A set button until it beeps (or LED blinks) A status LED will start blinking green 3) Press & hold B set button until it double-beeps (or LED flashes) B will (Beep)-(Beep) A will (Beep)-(Beep) and its LED will stop blinking 4) Press & hold B set button until it beeps (or LED blinks) B LED will start blinking green 5) Press & hold A set button until it double-beeps (or LED flashes) A will (Beep)-(Beep) B will (Beep)-(Beep) and its LED will stop blinking 6) Test the group by controlling the Load from A and then B The load, A LED and B LED will all remain in synch Scenes INSTEON Scenes allow a controller to set the mood by setting multiple responders to desired levels simultaneously. Software is especially helpful in setting up and maintaining scenes, especially larger scenes. Example: Create a scene with a single controller and SwitchLinc as a responder / member 1) Press & hold controller set button until it beeps1 Controller LED will start blinking 2) Tap SwitchLinc on (or off if desired for the link) Load will be on (or off) 3) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it double-beeps Controller LED will stop blinking and it will (beep)-(beep)2 4) For each additional scene member a. Adjust device to desired scene state b. Press & hold its set button 5) Tap controller set button Controller LED will stop blinking 6) Test by tapping controller button on and off SwitchLinc and other scene responders will all respond appropriately If either the SwitchLinc or responders LED continues to blink, the addition failed. Tap the device’s Set button until LED stops blinking and try again. If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking Most models Page 13 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM Stop SwitchLinc from Responding If you no longer want a controller button to control SwitchLinc follow these directions. Note: If you ever wish to un-install SwitchLinc, it is important that you remove all SwitchLinc responder links. Otherwise, controllers will retry commands repetitively, creating network delays. 1) Press & hold controller set button until beep3 LED will start blinking 2) Press & hold controller set button until beep LED will continue blinking 3) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until double-beep Controller LED will stop blinking 4) Test by tapping controller button on and off SwitchLinc will no longer respond Stop SwitchLinc from Controlling (Remove a Responder) If you no longer want SwitchLinc to control another device (or are removing SwitchLinc) it is important that you follow the instructions below for each responder. 1) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until beep LED will start blinking green 2) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until beep LED will start blinking red 3) Press & hold responder set button until double-beep (or LED blinks) SwitchLinc will (Beep)-(Beep) and its LED will stop blinking 4) Test by tapping SwitchLinc on and off Responder will not respond Add Multiple Responders 1) Press & hold SwitchLincs set button until it beeps SwitchLinc status LED will start blinking green 2) Tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc status LED will continue blinking green 3) For each responder you are adding a. Tap on or off or press & hold to adjust to desired responder state b. Press & hold responder set button until it beeps (or LED flashes) SwitchLinc will (Beep)-(Beep) 4) After all responders have been added, tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc LED will stop blinking 5) Test by tapping SwitchLinc on and off a couple of times All the responders added will respond Remove Multiple Responders 1) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it beeps SwitchLinc status LED will start blinking green 2) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button again until it beeps again SwitchLinc status LED will start blinking red 3) Tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc status LED will continue blinking red 4) For each responder you are removing a. If multi-button device, tap the responding button b. Press & hold responder set button until it beeps (or LED flashes) For devices without beepers hold until its LED begins blinking (this may take 10+ seconds) Page 14 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM 5) Tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc status LED will stop blinking 6) Test by tapping controller button a couple of times All responders removed will not respond LED Brightness 1) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it beeps LED will start blinking green 2) Press & hold set button until it beeps again SwitchLinc setup LED will start blinking red 3) Press & hold set button until it beeps a third time SwitchLinc setup LED will stop blinking and turn off SwitchLinc status LED will illuminate at current LED brightness level 4) Use SwitchLinc paddle to adjust LED brightness - Press & hold paddle top to brighten - Press & hold paddle bottom to dim (fully off for dimmest) 5) Once you have reached the desired brightness for the LED, tap set button SwitchLinc status LED will remain at new desired brightness SwitchLinc will (Beep) Error Blinking This setting is adjustable via software or a central controller only. SwitchLinc LED blinks red for a few seconds if one or more responders do not acknowledge a message. Air Gap (Remove Power) To remove all power from SwitchLinc and connected light(s), pull the set button at the bottom of the switch out as far as it will go, about 1/8”. (It might be helpful to use a small screwdriver.) To restore power (being careful to not hold the button in or a factory reset may occur) tap the air gap back into place, until its top is even with the trim frame. Factory Reset Factory Reset clears all user settings from SwitchLinc including INSTEON scenes, X10 addresses, etc. 1) Pull set button out (creating an air gap) 2) Wait 10 seconds 3) Press the set button in as far as you can & hold SwitchLinc will sound a long (Beep) 4) Release set button when beep stops SwitchLinc LED will turn GREEN momentarily, then turn off A few seconds will pass SwitchLinc will (Beep)-(Beep) LED will return to normal brightness Page 15 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM X10 Setup SwitchLinc ships with no X10 address assigned. Add X10 Address 1) Press & hold set button until beep LED starts blinking green 2) Send the X10 address 3 times (with or without commands) SwitchLinc will (beep)-(beep) and LED stops blinking 3) Test by sending X10 on and off commands Light / load will turn on and off Remove X10 Address 1) Press & hold set button until beep LED starts blinking green 2) Press & hold set button until beep LED starts blinking red 3) Send the X10 address 3 times (with or without commands) SwitchLinc will (beep)-(beep) and LED stops blinking 4) Test by sending X10 on and off commands SwitchLinc will not respond Other X10 Setup For other X10 setup instructions visit http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-x10-programming.html Page 16 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM Changing the Paddle and LED Colors Note: The setup LED uses red and green colors to assist in programming the SwitchLinc. Changing the clear light pipe to a different color will make determining red or green colors difficult. You can remove the LEDs and/or front paddle and trim frame assembly before or after SwitchLinc is installed. During the changeover process, power and load may remain on and operating. There are no dangerous voltages or unsafe areas under the paddle. 1) If SwitchLinc is already installed in the wall, remove the wallplate from the switch junction box 2) Remove the four Phillips screws that hold the paddle assembly to the metal frame 3) Pull the entire paddle straight away from the switch. You may have to wiggle the bottom of the frame to get it free from the set button. Figure 1: Paddle assembly and SwitchLinc body separated 4) Using a flat blade or needle nose pliers, remove the large light pipe as shown in Figure 2. Light pipe will snap out of the frame. Do the same for the small light pipe. Figure 2: Snap out the light pipes with a flat tool 5) Choose which LEDs and/or paddle and trim frame you would like to install into SwitchLinc 6) Orient the new small light pipe with its protrusion facing toward center of the new frame and snap it into place. If placed in backwards or reversed, it will not click into place. Refer to Figure 3. 7) Orient the new large light pipe with side that has the most protrusions facing toward the center of the new frame. Using only finger pressure, snap the light pipe into the frame. Refer to Figure 3. Figure 3: Insert the new light pipes with the protrusions facing the center 8) If both light pipes are installed correctly, they will stick straight out from back of the frame, as shown in Figure 4. If installed incorrectly, they will appear to be tilted as shown in Figure 5. Page 17 of 39 2477S - Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM Figure 4: Installed correctly Figure 5: Installed incorrectly 9) Gently place the paddle assembly back onto front of SwitchLinc. A little force may be necessary to snap the assembly over the set button. Reinstall four screws that you removed in step 2. Using SwitchLinc as a Phase Bridge SwitchLinc automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other DualBand devices on the “other phase”). This is only important if you have powerline only INSTEON products in your home. If you are relying on SwitchLinc to bridge the electrical phases, use the following procedure to confirm bridging: 1) Tap SwitchLinc set button four times quickly SwitchLinc will begin (Beeping) once per second SwitchLinc setup LED will be solid green 2) Check the LED behavior of other Dual-Band devices a. If the “other” Dual-Band device is blinking Green, it is on the other phase Device provides a phase bridge to SwitchLinc b. If the “other” Dual-Band device is blinking Red, it is on the same phase Device does not provide a phase bridge to SwitchLinc (move if/as necessary/possible) c. If the “other” Dual-Band device is not blinking Device not within RF range of SwitchLinc Does not provide a phase bridge to SwitchLinc (move if/as necessary/possible) 1. If the “other” Dual-Band device is exhibiting any other behavior or color, refer to its owners manual 3) Tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc will stop beeping SwitchLinc setup LED will return to steady on Other devices LEDs will stop blinking Blink LED on INSTEON Traffic This feature can be enabled (and subsequently disabled) via compatible software packages and is handy when troubleshooting larger installations.

Those are the NEUTRAL wires. Connect the NEUTRAL SwitchLinc wire there. Install a power line signal blocker in your home to keep X10 signals from neighboring homes from interfering. Consider not using SwitchLinc in X10 mode If the above doesn't work, perform a factory reset. (see Factory Reset) SwitchLinc responds to scene ONs but not OFFs The connected load is producing electrical noise that is interfering with the reception of power line signal when load is turned on and SwitchLinc is not within RF range Move or add a dual-band product nearer SwitchLinc SwitchLinc responds to scene offs but not ons SwitchLinc is scene responder at OFF Re-add SwitchLinc to scene, while the light is on When I press a button on SwitchLinc, it takes a long time for other INSTEON devices it is controlling to respond You may have removed an INSTEON device that your SwitchLinc is trying to operate. SwitchLinc is retrying the missing INSTEON device. If the INSTEON device is still available, Remove it from SwitchLinc scene as a responder (see Stop SwitchLinc from Responding) SwitchLinc is locked up A surge or excessive noise on the power line may have locked it up Perform a factory reset (see Factory Reset) Pull the set button on SwitchLinc all the way out for 10 seconds to air-gap it, then push it back in until it is flush with the trim frame (don't push it all the way in). If the above doesn't work, perform a factory reset (see Factory Reset) SwitchLinc can turn off my responder, but nothing happens when I send an ON command from SwitchLinc Your responder may be added to the scene in its off state Status LEDS are too bright LEDs set at too bright a level Re-add your responder to a scene in SwitchLinc, while the responding device is on Dim the LEDs (see LED Brightness) The controller may have dropped out of Try Adding SwitchLinc to a scene on the controller Add to a scene mode, or Added to again scene of another device SwitchLinc won’t add to scene as a responder The INSTEON signal may not be getting to the “vicinity” of SwitchLinc Large appliances, such as refrigerators or air conditioners, may be producing electrical noise on the power line Other electrical devices, such as computers, televisions, or power strips, may be absorbing the INSTEON signal Make sure phases are bridged, Add additional INSTEON devices and/or move around existing INSTEON devices Install a power line noise filter (e.g. #1626-10) to filter electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation Remove all unused responders from SwitchLinc scene. If the above doesn’t work, perform a factory reset on the controller SwitchLinc is taking a long time to respond to a controller The controller may be sending commands to a responder that is no longer available, causing delays The load turned on by itself Monitor for recurrence and remove reason if you Another controller, a timer, or stray X10 can determine what it is. If necessary perform a signals could have triggered SwitchLinc factory reset. Page 21 of 39 2477S - Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM SwitchLinc is not receiving signals from X10 controllers SwitchLinc and the controller are on opposite power line phases Install a SignaLinc™ phase coupler to properly bridge the two power line phases The controller is plugged into a power strip.
