Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (North America only)
- Line: usually black (may also be called hot, live or power), carries 120VAC electricity into the wall box
- Neutral: usually white or white wire bundle, commonly daisy-chained from box to box
- Load: usually black, from a separate cable jacket
- Ground: bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (Europe/Australia/New Zealand)
- As wire colors vary from country to country, make sure you always check your electrical wires with a voltage meter to
correctly identify line, load, neutral and ground wires
- If you have any questions, consult an electrician or your electricity supplier to learn more about your country’s wiring colors
and labels
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
Identify Switch Type
Before you insta ll Micro module behind a switch, you must determine which switch operation mode
applies to your switch—latching, single momentary or dual momentary—as each is wired differently:
• Latching (default mode): Switch has no central position. It can be tapped on both the top and
bottom and remains in that state once released.
• Single momentary: Switch can only be tapped in one location. It returns to central position once
released.
• Dual momentary: Switch can be tapped on both the top and bottom. It returns to central position
once released.
Note: If you are installing Micro module in a fixture box, switch operation mode does not apply.

Installation
1) Write down the INSTEON ID found on the back of the unit (XX.XX.XX)
2) Turn off breaker/fuse and verify that the power is off
3) Disconnect wires fr om existing switch, fixture or outl et and prep all wires to be connecte d to Micro
module, with 3/16” (5mm) of bare wire on the ends
4) Connect wires per diagram which corresponds to your installation
Note: sense lines carry very low current (~0.35mA 240V, ~0.17mA for 120V)
5) After ensuring wires are firmly connected and that there is no exposed wire, turn on breaker/fuse
After a few seconds, load will turn on (if wired into switch or fixture) and Micro module LED will turn
green

Switch Operation Mode
By default, Micro module is programmed for a latching switch. Program the switch operation for single
momentary mode, dual momentary mode or back to latching mode according to your switch type. These
settings can also be configured remotely via software (sold separately).
To determine Micro module’s current switch operation mode, simply tap set button:
• If it beeps, Micro module is configured for a single momentary switch
• If it double-beeps, Micro module is configured for a dual momentary switch
• If it triple-beeps, Micro module is configured for a latching switch (default)

3-Way Toggle Mode (Latching Switches O nly, Default)
Because Micro module comes programmed for latching switches, 3-way toggle mode is enabled by
default. Normally, a latching switch reads the switch’s up position as on and down position as off. For
example, if you turn Micro module on from the latching switch and off from another controller, the switch is
still in the up (on) position; turning Micro module back on from the switch would require you to tap the
switch down, then up again.
The 3-way toggle mode overrides this sense feature, so in that same scenario—turning Micro module on
at the switch and off from another controller, so switch is in up (on) position—you could then turn Micro
module on at the switch by tapping it down.
If you are installing Micro module behind a single or dual momentary switch, 3-way toggle mode is
ignored. If desired, you can disable (or re-enable) 3-way toggle mode by following thes e instr uct ions :
1) Press and hold set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking green
2) Press and hold set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinking green
4) Press and hold set button until it beeps a fourth time
LED will start blinking red
5) Slowly tap s et button 4 times
Micro module will beep
LED will continue blinking red
6) Press and hold set button until it double-beeps
LED will stop blinking
3-way toggle mode is now disabled (or re-enabled)

INSTEON Setup
Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Please refer to the other devices’
owner’s manuals for details.
INSTEON Controller s, R es pon der s and Li nk s
• The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a controller
• The INSTEON “receiver” is called a responder
• The association between the controller and responder is called a link
Note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply add a link “the other way.”

Stuck/Disabled Buttons
If Micro module’s buttons are not responding, they may have been disabled due to a stuck button. If any
button is pressed during power-up, or after power-up any Micro module button is pressed for about four
minutes, Micro module engages stuck button mode and automatically disables all button actions. All
buttons will remain disabled until next power cycle.
To re-enable buttons, ensure buttons are not being pressed, turn off breaker supplying power to Micro
module and turn it back on. Micro module buttons should function again. Additionally, check Micro
module’s installation location for any obstacles that could be pressing the buttons on Micro module’s face
and causing stuck button mode.
Phase Bridge Detect Beacon/RF Range Test
Micro module automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other
dual-band devices on the “other phase”). This is only important in 2-phase homes with powerline-only
INSTEON products or buildings with both 2- and 3- phase circuits. The phase bridge detect beacon can
also be used as an RF range test to see if your devices are within communication range. You will need at
least one other INSTEON dual-band device installed.
1) Press and hold set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking gree n
2) Press and hold set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinki ng gr ee n
4) Slowly tap set button 2 times
LED will continue bl ink ing green
5) Press and hold set button until it beeps
Micro module will start beeping once per second
LED will turn solid green
6) Check the LED behavior of other dual-band devices
Phase Bridge Detect Beacon
• If the other dual-band device is blinking green, it is on the other phase:
Device provides a phase bridge to Micro mod ul e
• If the other dual-band device is blinking red, it is on the same phase:
Device does not provide a phase bridge to Micro module
Relocate if necessary (and practical)
• If the other dual-band device is not blinking:
Device is not within RF range of Micro module so it does not provide a phase bridge
Relocate if necessary (and practical) or add an additional dual-band device
RF Range Test
• If LED is blinking:
Device is within RF communication range
• If LED is not blinking:
Device is not within RF communication range
Relocate if necessary (and practical) or add an additional dual-band device
7) Tap set button
Micro module will stop beeping
Other device LEDs will stop blinking
