In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band
Congratulations on your purchase of the elegant, high-quality In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band. In-LineLinc
Dimmer installs in-line to provide INSTEON control of individual dimmable lighting fixtures. Additionally,
In-LineLinc Dimmer eliminates the need for a conventional light switch, reducing the “switch sprawl”
common to automation projects. You can also use In-LineLinc Dimmer for INSTEON signal repeating and
phase bridging (like an Access Point, #2443). In-LineLinc Dimmer supports voltages from 100-277V,
50/60Hz and loads up to 400W, making it the perfect energy-saving, wireless controller.
Features and Benefits
• Once installed, INSTEON setup is easy
• Controls incandescent loads up to 400W
• Supports up to 400 scene memberships
• Shows INSTEON setup mode activity with beeper and dual-color Status LED
• Communicates simultaneously over both radio frequency (RF) and the powerline
• Acts as an Access Point for RF-only INSTEON devices
• Stores setup state in non-volatile memory so settings aren’t lost during power outages
• Wires into standard junction boxes (requires a NEUTRAL connection)
• Two-year warranty

Installation
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band 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. In-LineLinc Dimmer DualBand is not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than single-phase voltages between 100v and 277v with 50 0r
60Hz service. Attempting to use In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band 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 in which you are inst alling In-LineLinc
Dimmer. Inst al ling In-LineLinc Dimmer with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- The wires connecting In-LineLinc to the incoming power must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of 15 amps or less
- Connect only copper or copper-cl ad wire to In-LineLinc Dimmer
- In-LineLinc Dimmer may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no
hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the rear of In-LineLinc Dimmer is as clear of c lutter as
possible.
- Each In-LineLinc Dimmer is assigned a unique INSTEON I.D., which is printed on the device’s label.
- To reduce the risk of overheating and possi bl e dam age t o other equipment, use In-LineLinc Dimmer to control no more than
400 Watts of incandescent at 100VAC to 277VAC.
- 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.
- You will need a flathead screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver and a voltage meter to install In-LineLinc Dimmer
Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home
- Line - usually black, may also be called Hot, Live or Power, carries 100-277VAC electricity into the wall box
- Neutral - usually white, commonly daisy-chained from box to box usually appearing as a white wire bundle
- Load - usually black from a separate cable jacket
- Ground – Bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
IMPORTANT! If you are not knowledgeable about and/or and comf ortable with, electrical circ uitry, you should have a qualifi ed
electrician install In-LineLinc Dimmer for you. If you have any questions, please consult an electrician or call the INSTEON
Tools Needed
- Flathead screwdriver - Phillips screwdriver
- Wire cutter/stripper - Voltage meter

Installing In-LineLinc Dimmer
1) At electrical panel, turn off circuit breaker(s) and/or remove fuse(s) feeding wall box. Verify the power
is off.
2) Remove the fixture’s wallplate, unscrew the fixture and pull it out from the junction box.
3) Disconnect the wires from the fixture and
ensure that you have ½” of bare wire on
the ends.
4) After ensuring wires are not touching, turn
breaker(s) back on.
5) Use a voltage meter to identify the Line
and Load wires connected to the fixture,
then identify Neutral and Ground wires.
6) Turn off breaker(s).
7) Connect wires according to the wiring
diagram below. Confirm there are firm
attachments with no expos ed wire.
8) Prior to reinstalling the fixture, turn on circuit
breaker supplying power to the fixture.
9) Use In-LineLinc Dimmer’s ON and OFF buttons
to test load control.
10) Add In-LineLinc Dimmer to scene(s) as a
responder to desired INSTEON devices.
11) Turn off breaker(s).
12) Gently place In-LineLinc Dimmer into the junction
box, making sure nothing could accidentally
press any of the buttons on its face.
13) Reinstall the fixture.
14) Turn on breaker(s).
