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 local regulations in the regions intended for sale. Use indoors
only. This product is not designed or approved for use on power lines other than 100-277VAC,50Hz or 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
- Use only indoors or in 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.
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire
- This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON I.D., 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 specifications which are outside of the product’s specifications. 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.

Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (North America only)

- Line: usually black (may also be called hot, live or power), carries 100-277VAC 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
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 DIN Rail behind a switch, you must determine which type of switch you have—latching (the default setting), single momentary or dual momentary—as each is wired differently. If you are using DIN Rail with a single momentary or dual momentary switch, you will program it for the corresponding switch after installation.
Latching (default mode): switch has no central position: it can be pressed on both the top and bottom and remains in that state once released
Single momentary: switch can only be pressed in one place (like a doorbell) and returns to central position once released
Dual momentary: switch can be pressed on both the top and bottom; returns to central position once released

Installation

1) Turn off breaker/fuse and verify power is off
2) Disconnect wires from light fixture. Strip away wire coating until you have 5/16” (8mm) of bare wire on the ends.
3) After ensuring the wires are not touching, turn on breaker/fuse
4) Use a voltage meter to identify the fixture’s line, load and neutral wires, then turn off breaker/fuse again
5) For reference, write down the INSTEON I.D. (on the side of the module) and the load it is controlling
6) Snap module onto DIN rail. (If installing next to another module, allow 3/4" (2 cm) between modules for heat dissipation.)
7) Connect wires per diagram which corresponds to your installation
Note: sense lines carry very low current (~0.35mA 240V, ~0.17mA for 120V)
8) 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 and DIN Rail LED will turn green
9) Test by tapping DIN Rail paddle top and bottom
Load will turn on and off DIN Rail LED will turn green when load is on and red when load is off

Switch Operation Mode

By default, DIN Rail is programmed for a latching switch. If you are installing DIN Rail behind a single momentary or dual momentary switch, you must change DIN Rail’s local-control switch operation to single momentary mode or dual momentary mode.

Change Mode

1) If installing a single momentary or dual momentary switch, change mode as follows
a) Press and hold set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking green
b) Press and hold set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
c) Press and hold set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinking green
d) Perform the step that applies
For single momentary: slowly tap set button four times
LED will continue blinking green
For dual momentary: slowly tap set button five times
LED will start double-blinking green
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 double-beeps
LED will stop blinking and turn green if load is on or red if load is off
2) Test mode change by following the switch actions in the Latching, Single Momentary, or Dual Momentary tables below
Load will respond appropriately

3-Way Toggle Mode (Latching Switches O nly, Default)

Because DIN Rail 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 DIN Rail module on from the latching switch and off from another controller, the switch is still in the up (on) position; turning DIN Rail 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 DIN Rail module on at the switch and off from another controller, so switch is in up (on) position—you could then turn DIN Rail module on at the switch by tapping it down.
If you are installing DIN Rail module behind a single or dual momentary switch, 3-way t oggle mode is ignored. If desired, you can disable (or re-enable) 3-way toggle mode by performing these steps:
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) Tap set four times button
DIN Rail module will beep LED will start dou ble-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 Operati ons

DIN Rail’s switch operation mode affects how it responds to commands; so it’s important to properly program DIN Rail for the correct type of switch you are installing. DIN Rail on/off buttons function exactly like the top and bottom of your wall switch.
Note: LED will blink red for a few seconds if one or more responders do not acknowledge a mess age.

Adjust Local Settings

Local On-Level

Local on-level is the brightness that the loa d wir ed into DIN Rail will come on when turned on at the DIN Rail paddle. The default local on-level is 100% brightness, but it can be set to any one of 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%). If you want DIN Rail to turn the load on at its last brightness level (prior to being turned off), see Resume Dim
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
