Installation

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
FOR CEILING FANS ONLY
FanLinc is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and l ocal regulations in the United States or the

Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. FanLinc is not designed nor approved f or use on
power lines other than 120VAC, 5 0Hz / 60Hz, s ingle phase. Attem pting to use FanLinc on non-appro ved power lines m ay have
hazardous consequences.

Recommended installation practices:

• Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box

• Be sure that you have turned off the ci rcuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are ins talling FanLinc in.

Installing FanLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.

• Connect only copper or copper-cl ad wire to FanLinc

• FanLinc 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 FanLinc air vents is as clear of clutter as
possible.

• To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use FanLinc load output to control no more
than 300 watts of 120VAC incandescent lamps plus no more than 1 Amp of Fan load. Dimming an inductive load (by
connecting to the light load wire), such as a fan or transform er, could cause damage to the dimmer, the load bearing
device, or both. If the manuf acturer of the load device does not re commend dimming, use a non-dim ming INSTEON
on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.

• You will need a flathead screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver and a voltage meter to install FanLinc

Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home

To install FanLinc, you will need to identify the following four wires:

• Line - usually black, may also be called HOT or LIVE, carries 120VAC electricity into the electrical box

• Neutral - usually white commonly daisy chained from box to box usually appearing as a white wire bundle

• Load – usually black, blue or red

• Ground - Bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)

If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you.
IMPORTANT!

• If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not k nowledgeable about, and

1) Write down the INSTEON ID (e.g., 12.34.56) for reference

2) Using your ceiling fan pull chains, set fan to highest speed and
turn light on (note: once installed, FanLinc will control all fan and
light functions)

3) Turn off the breaker (remove fuse) supplying power to the fan

4) Remove the ceiling fan from the electrical box

5) Identify line, neutral and load lines for fan and light separately

6) Disconnect wires from the ceiling fan (and light if applicable)

7) Connect FanLinc white wire and the fixture neutral wire to the
house neutral with wire nut

8) Connect FanLinc red wire to the fixture fan wire with a wire nut

9) Connect FanLinc blue wire to the fixture light wire (if fixture does
not have a light, cap the blue wire)

10) Connect FanLinc black wire to line with a wire nut

11) Ensure all connections are secure with no exposed copper
