electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.
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 install 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.
Once you have identified your switch type, install Micro module according to the corresponding wiring diagram, then
see “Switch Operation Mode” to program Micro module for your specific switch type.
Note: If you are installing Micro module behind a wall outlet or in a fixture, switch operation mode does not apply.
Page 4 of 21 2443-222/2443-422/2443-522 - Rev: 1/21/2014 8:28 AM
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 from existing switch, fixture or outlet and prep all wires to
be connected 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
6) Test by tapping Micro module on/off buttons
Load will turn on and off
Micro Module LED will turn green when load is on and red when load is off
7) If installing a single momentary or dual momentary switch

• To switch back to latching: slowly tap set button six times
LED will start blinking green
e) Once the mode is selected, press and hold set button until it doubl e-beeps
LED will stop blinking and t urn green if load is on or red if load is off
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 butto n:
• If it beeps, Micro module is configured for a single momentary switch

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 these instructions:
1) Press and hold Set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking green
2) Press and hold Set button until it beeps again
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) Tap Set button
Micro module will beep and LED will start double-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)
Local Control Operation
Micro module’s switch operation mode affects how it responds to commands from the switch. This is why it’s
important to program Micro module for the specific type of switch you are using. Micro module’s on/off buttons
function exactly like the top and bottom of your wall switch.
Latching Wall Switch (Default)
Note that this table refers to the latching switch operation if 3-way toggle mode is dis ab led (it is enabled b y def ault).

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.”
Configure INSTEON Settings
Most Micro module links and settings can be configured locally—during installation with the module’s Set button or
after installation using the switch connected to the module.
All Micro module settings can be managed remotely via software (sold separately).

Groups
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.
The following steps will create a virtual 3-way circuit including device “A” and device “B”:
1) Turn A and B on
2) Press and hold A Set button until it beeps
A status LED will start blinking green
3) Press and hold B Set button until it double-beeps
A will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
4) Press and hold B Set button until it beeps
B LED will start blinking green
5) Press and hold A Set button until it double-beeps
B will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
6) Test by turning load on and off from A and then B
The load(s) and both A and B LEDs will remain in synch

Stuck/Disabled Button
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 again
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold Set button until it beeps a third time

4) Slowly tap Set button twice
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 blinkinggreen, 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 provid e a phase brid ge
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
