NOTE: Unless they have been unlinked, INSTEON devices that had been previously linked to Keypad Dimmer Dual-Band will still respond to button presses, even after a factory reset. The reason is that the INSTEON devices themselves have not been unlinked from Keypad Dimmer Dual-Band. See Removing Keypad Button

Before Installation

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference. This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations i n the Unit ed States or the
Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. This product is not designed or approved for use on power lines other than 100VAC- 277VAC 50/60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
- Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box
- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing this product into. Installing this product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- The wires connecting Keypad to the incoming power must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of 20A or less.
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire
- This product may feel warm during operati on. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the product’s label.
- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control loads in excess of the specified maximum(s) or install in locations with electricity specific ations which are outsi de of the product’s specif ications. If this device supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive load, 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.
- When mounting multiple-ganged junction box, the Keypad Dimmer is de-rated for 200-watts less for each immediately adjacent dimmer installed. For example, 600 W load control becomes 400 W with another dimmer to the immediate right or left. Use a triple-gang box with a mechanical switch in the center to avoid de-rating.
IMPORTANT! If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about or and comfort abl e with electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.

Button Naming

Throughout this manual, we will use the following naming conventions:

Line

Installation – Circuit with 1 Switch

1) Turn off circuit breaker(s) which feed the switch junction box (or remove fuse(s)). Verify that the power is off.
2) Remove trimplate from the switch, unscrew the switch you are replacing and gently pull out from wall
1
3) Disconnect wires from switch
4) Turn breaker on
5) Using a voltage tester, identify the Line and Load wires that are connected to the switch
6) Identify Neutral and Ground wires
7) Turn breaker off
8) Connect wires as follows (confirm firm attachment with no exposed wire)
9) With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypad into junction box and screw into place
10) Turn breaker on
Keypad’s LEDs will illuminate
11) Verify Keypad is working properly by turning the light on and off.
12) Reinstall the trim plate.

Installation – Circuit with 2 Switches

Circuits with 2 switches controlling the same load are called 3-way circuits. The most common example of a 3-way circuit is hallway lighting, with a switch at either end of the hall. To install Keypad in a 3-switch circuit, both switches need to be replaced by Keypads and/or SwitchLincs. In this example, we will install a 3-way circuit with 2 Keypads, A and B.
1. Turn off circuit breaker(s) feeding power to either of the switch junction boxes (or pull fuse(s))
2
2. Pull both switches out of their junction boxes. Each switch will have 3 wires connected to it
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches.
3
Make sure that the wires are not touching anything
4. Turn breaker(s) on
5. Using a voltmeter, test wires from both switches until you find Line (120VAC, usually black)
4
1
If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires wher e they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends.
2
If switch has 4 wires connected to it, it is part of a 3-switch or higher circuit. See next section.
3
If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires wher e they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends
4
Only one switch in the circuit was connected to Line.
Page 5 of 24 Rev: 7/25/2013 9:16 AM
Note: the other 2 wires connected to this switch are Traveler wires
6. Turn breaker(s) off
7. Connect the Line wire and the black
5
Traveler wire to the black wire on Keypad A with a wire nut
8. Cap the other Traveler wire with a wire nut
9. Cap A’s red wire
10. Connect neutral to A’s white wire
11. Connect Ground to A’s bare copper wire
12. In Keypad B’s junction box, find the Load wire (connects switch to lights, commonly red and will be the only wire connected to the switch other than the Travelers)
13. Connect the Load wire to B’s red wire
14. In the same junction box, connec t the bl ack Traveler wire to B’s black wire
15. Cap the other Traveler wire
16. Connect Neutral to B’s whit e wir e
17. Connect Ground to B’s bare copper wire
18. With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypads into junction boxes and screw in place
19. Turn breaker(s) on
Both Keypads’ LEDs will ill umi nate .
20. Verify Keypad A is working properly by turning the light on and off
21. Follow steps on Page 8 to cross-link both keypads so that they both control the load
22. Reinstall trim plates
5
If black is not available choose one of the Travelers and make note of its color. Instructions will refer to it as black; if both are black, choose one and use voltmeter to determine which of the
black Travelers in the other junction box you have chosen. Page 6 of 24 Rev: 7/25/2013 9:16 AM

Installation – Circuit with 3 (or more) Switches

Circuits with 3 switches are called 4-way circuits, circuits with 4 are called 5-way, and so on. All switches in multi­way circuits need to be replaced by either a Keypad and/or SwitchLinc).
1. Turn off the circuit breaker(s) which feed power to any of the switch junction boxes (pull fuse(s))
2. Pull all switches out of their junction boxes. (2 of the switches will have 3 wires connected; the rest of the switches will have 4 wires connected)
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches
4. Make sure that no one will touch the wires and that the wires are not touching anything
5. Turn breaker(s) on
6. Using a voltmeter, test wires on switches with 3 wires connected until you find Line (120VAC, usually black)
Note: the other 2 wires connected to this first switch are Travelers

10. Cap the first Keypad’s red wire
11. Connect neutral to the first Keypad’s white wire
12. Connect Ground to the first Keypad’s bare copper wire
13. On the other switch with 3 wires connected, find the Load wire (connects switch to lights, commonly red and the only non-traveler) and connect to the third Keypad’s red wire
14. In the same junction box, connect the black Traveler to the third Keypad’s black wire
15. Cap the other Traveler wire
16. Connect Neutral to the Final Keypad’s white wire
17. Connect Ground to the Final Keypad’s bare copper wire
18. For each “middle” junction box (all remaining/4-wire switches):
• Connect the 2 black Travelers to the middle Keypad’s black wire
• Cap the 2 other Traveler wires
• Cap the middle Keypad’s red wire
• Connect Neutral wire to middle Keypad’s white wire
• Connect Ground wire to middle Keypad’s bare copper wire
19. With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypads into junction boxes and screw in place.
20. Turn breaker(s) on.
All Keypads’ LEDs will illuminate
21. Verify Keypad A is working properly by turning the light on and off
22. Follow steps on Page 8 to cross-link all keypads so that they all control the load.
23. Reinstall the trim plates
