- 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 comfort abl e with electrical

Tools Needed

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

Installing In-LineLinc

1) If you plan to configure In-LineLinc using home-management software (such as HouseLinc) or SmartLinc (2412N), write down the INSTEON I.D. and the fixture in which it’s being installed for future reference.
2) Turn off the circuit breaker/fuse panel supplying power to the fixture. Check that the power is off by toggling the load on and off from its local switch.
3) Remove wallpaper from the fixture, unscrew it and remove from the junction box.
4) Disconnect wires from fixture. If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing, cut the wires where they enter the switch and strip ½” of insulation off the ends. Make sure the wires are not touching anything.
5) Turn on circuit breaker, then use a voltage meter to identify the Line, Load, Neutral and Ground wires. Once all wires are identified, turn off circuit breaker again.
