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.

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)

INSTEON Setup

A scene consists of 1 or more INSTEON devices that respond to 1 or more INSTEON controller(s). When the scene is activated (turned on), all scene members 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% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with the tap of a button on any INSTEON controller. INSTEON scenes are easy to set up: just follow the directions below.

Add Keypad Button to a Scene as a Controller

2) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button until it beeps.
Set button LED will blink green
3) Send the desired X10 Address plus ON 3 times in a row (e.g. send B5-BON-B5-BON-B5-BON)
Keypad will double-beep and the Set button LED will stop blinking

Remove X10 Address from a Button

If you are no longer going to utilize an X10 address associated with Keypad, it is very important that you remove its X10 address. Otherwise, Keypad will still listen for X10 commands (somewhat hindering INSTEON reception) and may respond to spurious X10 “noise” which is unavoidable. Furthermore, Keypad will transmit an X10 address and command every time the button is pressed.
1) Tap the Keypad button
2) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button until it beeps
Set button LED will blink green
3) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button again until it beeps again
The button’s LED will continue blinking red.
4) Send the X10 Address plus ON 3 times (e.g. send B5-BON-B5-BON-B5-BON)
Keypad will double-beep and the Set button LED will stop blinking

Advanced X10 Program m i ng

Instructions on setting X10 primary address and scene addresses can be found online:
http://www.insteon.com/insteon-x10-programming.html

Power Restore

Keypad stores all of its scenes, properties, etc. in non-volatile memory. As such, all settings are retained after a power outage. Upon power being restored, Keypad will return its connected load and all LEDs to their states prior to power outage.

Factory Reset

Factory Reset clears all user settings from Keypad including INSTEON scenes, on-levels, ramp rates, X10 addresses, etc.
1) With a small screwdriver or your fingernail, pull out Set button to create an air gap
2) Wait 10 seconds
3) Push in Set button and hold. Do not let go
Keypad will begin to emit a long beep
4) When the beep stops, release the Set button.
Device’s embedded software will rewrite all settings to factory defaults A couple of seconds will pass Keypad will double-beep and its LEDs will return to normal brightness
The connected load will turn on and Keypad will return to ready mode

Adjust Local Settings

Each of the Keypad buttons is considered a “scene button,” meaning you can use any of the buttons on Keypad to create INSTEON scenes. Each button will control its own scene, only sending commands to devices linked specifically to that button. Dimmable responders may behave differently, depending on whether you tap, double-tap or press and hold a button to activate/deactivate a scene. Non-dimming responders will not respond to press-and­hold brighten or dim commands; they will only turn full-on or full-off in response to taps and double-taps.
• When the LED of the button is on, the scene has been activated (turned on)
• When the LED of the button is off, the scene has been deactivated (turned off)

Activating/Deactivating scenes with the Keypad buttons:

• Tap to activate
Dimmable responders will turn on at their preset on-level at their programmed ramp rate. Non-dimming responders will immediately turn full-on.
• Tap to deactivate
Dimmable responders will turn full-off at their programmed ramp rate. Non-dimming responders will immediately turn full-off.
• Double-Tap to activate
Responders (both dimming and non-dimming) will immediately turn full-on
• Double-Tap to deactivate
Responders (both dimming and non-dimming) will immediately turn full-off
• Press and hold to activate
Dimming responders will begin to brighten, unless they are already at full-on. Non-dimming responders will ignore the command and remain at their current state.
When you release the button, the responders will stop going brighter.
Once the scene is activated, pressing and holding the button will toggle between brightening and dimming the responders. Non-dimmable responders will ignore press-and-hold brighten/dim commands and remain at their current state.

LED Behavior

Keypad has a dual-color green and red LED which momentarily indicates if a button press was successfully communicated to all scene members.
scene members may still have heard the scene command and adjusted their settings)
Page 15 of 24 Rev: 7/25/2013 9:16 AM

Local On-Level

The local on-level is the default brightness level at which the light(s) physically wired to Keypad will turn on. The default local on-level is 100%, but can be set to any one of 33 settings, 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%) or “Resume Bright,” which will result in the light returning to the brightness level it was at prior to being turned off.
We recommend using home-management software such as HouseLinc to set the local on-level. However, you can also change it manually by following the steps below.
1) Press and hold On and/or Off (or Main in 8-button configuration) until the connected light is at the brightness desired when turned on locally (turn the light off if you wish to use the “Resume Bright” feature)
2) Tap the Set button
Keypad will beep
3) Test the Local On-Level settings by tapping the On/Off or Main buttons

Air Gap

To remove all power from Keypad and connected light(s), pull out the Set button at the bottom of the switch as far as it will go, about 1/8”. (It might be helpful to use a small screwdriver.) This will open the mechanical contacts and create an air gap.
To restore power, press the air gap back into place until its top is even with the trim frame.

Beep on Button Press

Default = Off
This setting is adjustable via software or a central controller only.

Error Blink

Default = on
This setting is adjustable via software or a central controller only. Keypad Dimmer LED blinks red for a few seconds if one or more responders do not acknowledge a message.

Changing to 6-Butto n or 8-Butt on Pl ate

- The 6-button plate provides a dedicated load ON button at the top of the switch, a dedicated load OFF button at the bottom, and four programmable secondary buttons between the On and Off buttons
- The 8-button plate provides a dedicated load MAIN On/Off button in the top left-most position of the keypad and seven programmable secondary buttons.
Attach the change-out plate to the switch body by aligning the tabs. Snap into place.

Changing Buttons

Keypad buttons can be swapped out with custom-etched buttons to customize its appearance. Using a small, flat-edged screwdriver only, carefully pry up on the sides of the keys from the middle of the keypad (when possible). Make sure you are centered on the key so as to catch the small edge located there for this purpose.
Please note that behind the buttons are clear plastic filler pieces; these diffuse the buttons’ LEDs’ lights more elegantly. Use care to keep these filler pieces in the button frame as you reassemble the keypad.
Should any damage occur to Keypad during customization, please contact 800-762-7845 and we will be happy to replace your frame.

Advanced Features

Local Ramp-Rate

The local ramp rate is the time it takes for the light(s) physically wired to Keypad to brighten from off to 100% brightness. The default ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but it can be set to different rates. When set manually, it can be set from 0.1 to 9 seconds. However, when using home-management software such as HouseLinc, the ramp rate may be configured anywhere from 0.1 seconds to 8 minutes. Follow the instructions below to manually change the local ramp rate.
1) Adjust the connected light(s) to brightness corresponding to the desired ramp rate
2) Double-tap the Set button on your Keypad
Keypad will double-beep
3) Test the ramp rate settings by tapping the On/Off buttons on your Keypad or Controller.
Connected lights will ramp up and down at the new rate.
4) Start again if the ramp rate is not as desired or, 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 allows you to set the on levels and ramp rates exactly as desired and consistently around the house)

Troubleshooting

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.
