ToggleLinc Relay – Features and Benefits

Congratulations on purchasing the high-quality INSTEON ToggleLinc Relay Switch. With its elegant look, smooth touch and stylish LED bar, you can not only control the lights you wire to it, but you can add remote control to all kinds of other INSTEON and X10 devices in your home to match your lifestyle. Besides controlling other devices, ToggleLinc itself can be remotely operated from other INSTEON controllers, including other ToggleLinc modules.

Features

- Quick setup links to other INSTEON devices in minutes
- Controls all incandescent and inductive loads up to 400 Watts/16 Amps
- Traditional toggle switch: tap up/down to turn li ght on/o ff
- Dimmable status LED shows INSTEON setup activity and acts as a gentle nightlight
- Setup state stored in non-volatile memory and preserved through power outages
- Wires in like a standard wall switch (Neutral connection required)
- Supports virtual 3-, 4- or more-way circuits with multiple ToggleLinc modules
- X10 compatible
- Two-year warranty

Preparing to Install ToggleLinc

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 Electric Code and local regulations in the United 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 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
Recommended installation practices:
- 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.
- 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 the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTE O N 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

- Line – carries 120VAC electricity into the wall box, may also be called hot, live or power, commonly black
- Neutral – returns 120VAC to power company, commonly white and in a multi-wire bundle
- Load – connects to light/load device, commonly black and in a separate cable jacket
- Ground – connection to electrical ground, commonly a bare wire, a green wire or a screw on a metal box
IMPORTANT! If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about and comfortable with electrical

Tools Needed

- Flathead screwdriver - Phillips screwdriver
- Wire cutter/stripper - Voltage meter

Installing ToggleLinc in a Typical 2-Way Circuit

1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disable the circuit supplying power to the switch.
2) Remove the faceplate from the existing switch, then unscrew the switch and pull it out from the junction box.
3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing and ensure you have 1/2” of bare wire on the ends.
4) To correctly identify the Line, Load, Neutral and Ground wires, enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse panel, use a line voltage meter and turn the breaker off again. (Refer to wiring diagram below to properly connect your wires to the INSTEON device.)
Note: Mechanical switches don’t utilize Neutral wires, but they are usually available in the back of the switch box.

5) Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the Ground wire.
6) Orient ToggleLinc with the LED bar at the bottom, gently place it into the junction box and screw it into place.
7) Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse panel.
8) Test that ToggleLinc is working properly by using the switch to turn the light on and off.
9) Reinstall the faceplate.
Note: the Neutral wire will not normally be connected to the switch you are replacing. If there is no Neutral wire in the box, consult an electrician or call the INSTEON Support Line at 1-800-762-7845.

Understanding Multi-Way Circuits

If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (or load), the switches are part of a multi-way circuit. A 3-way uses two switches to control one load, a 4-way circuit uses three switches and so on. Most homes have one or more 3-way circuits, such as two switches located on opposite ends of hallways or at two different entrances to a room. Circuits that are 4- or more-way are less common. Here is how a typical wired-in 3-way circuit (with two switches) works:
Page 5 of 18 Rev: 1/21/2014 7:34 AM
A wired-in 4- or more-way circuit (with three or more switches) has additional switches added in the middle of the circuit. In the diagram below, the additional switch (Switch 3+) is shown in two different positions, since wiring can vary from home to home.
To learn more about multi-way circuits, go to your preferred Internet search engine and enter the search terms “3-way switch” or “4-way switch.”

Using ToggleLinc in Virtual Multi-Way Ci rc uit s

You can use ToggleLinc modules to replace switches in multi-way circuits that are already wired in or to create multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring. These are called virtual multi-way circuits. In a virtual multi-way circuit, only one ToggleLinc (called the ToggleLinc Primary) is actually connected to and controls the load. Any additi ona l ToggleLinc modules (called ToggleLinc Secondaries) are only connected to the powerline via the Line and Neutral wires. All the ToggleLinc modules can communicate with one another using INSTEON networking on the powerline. After wiring in the ToggleLinc modules, you can create a virtual multi-way circuit by setting up all of the modules to control each other. The diagram below shows how you convert a wired-in 3-way circuit using two ToggleLinc modules.
Note: Actual location of the ToggleLinc wires may differ with product revision or model.
