12) Reinstall the wallplate

Installation – Circuit with 2 Switches (a.k.a. 3-way circuit)

Circuits with 2 switches are called 3-way circuits. Both switches in a 3-way circuit need to be replaced by SwitchLincs (and/or other INSTEON devices).
1) Turn off circuit breaker(s) and/or remove fuse(s)
feeding wall boxes (verify that power is off)
2) Pull both switches from their wall boxes (each
switch will have no less tha n 3 wires)
3) Remove wires from existing switches
4) Make sure wires are safely separated from each
other and turn power back on
5) Using a voltage meter measure each wire to
ground in both boxes until you find the single wire supplying 100-277V (line) a. We will now refer to that location as Box 1 b. The other box will have the load wire. That will
be Box 2
6) Turn power back off
In Box 1 (Line box)
7) Connect bare SwitchLinc ground to bare ground
wire or ground screw in wall box
8) Connect SwitchL in c white wire to neutral wire(s) in

INSTEON Setup

Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Where necessary, please refer to the other device’s owner’s manual for details.

INSTEON Controller s, R es pon der s and Li nk s

Let’s define a few terms.
• Each INSTEON compatible product is called a device
• The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a controller
• The INSTEON “receiver” is called a responder
• The association between the controller and responder is called a link
• When a controller simultaneously controls multiple responders, it is called a scene
• When all members of a scene are synchronized (always go on and off together), it is called a group
Note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply add a link “the other way.”

Make SwitchLinc a Responder

1) Press and hold controller button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking
2) Adjust SwitchLinc to desired brightness for link/scene
3) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set butt on until it double-beeps

If the responder is a multi-scene device such as a KeypadLinc, tap the scene button you wish to control until its LED is in the desired scene state (on or off). You can program
any state, not just on, for the responder’s link.

Controller LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping controller button on and off
SwitchLinc will turn on (at desired brightness) and off

Make SwitchLinc a Controller

1) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set button until it beeps
LED will start blinki ng green
2) Adjust responder to desired brightness/state
3) Press and hold responder Set button until it double-beeps
SwitchLinc will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping SwitchLinc paddle on and off
Responder will turn on (at desired brightness) and off
5) To add more responders, repeat steps 1-4 for each responder

Groups

Devices in a group remain synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of and a responder to all the other devices. The most common example of a group is a circuit with 2 switches (referred to as a 3-way circuit).
Example group for a ‘virtual’ 3-way circuit with SwitchLinc “A” and SwitchLinc “B”:
1) Turn A and B on
2) Press and hold A Set button until it beeps
A LED will start blinking green
3) Press and hold B Set button until it double-beeps
A will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (A is now a controller of B.
4) Press and hold B Set button until it beeps
B LED will start blinking green
5) Press and hold A Set button until it double-beeps
B will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (B is now a controller of A) A and B are now grouped
6) Test by turning load on and off from A and then B
The load(s) and both A and B LEDs will remain in sync

Scenes

Scenes feature multiple responders, each with its o wn unique individual settings, activated from a single controller. Responders in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting, audio, etc. in scene creation. Home management software such as HouseLinc is recommended for scene management.
Example scene with one controller and SwitchLinc as a responder, plus other responders:
1) Press and hold controller button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking
2) Tap controller Set button
Controller LED will start double-blinking
3) Adjust SwitchLinc to desired brightness for scene
4) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set butt on until it double-beeps
5) For each additional scene member:
a. Adjust member to desired scene brightness (or state if not a lighting device). b. Press and hold member Set button until it double-beeps.

1) Press and hold controller button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking
2) Press and hold controller button until it beeps
Controller LED will continue blinking
3) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set butt on until it double-beeps
Controller LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping controller button on and off
SwitchLinc will no longer res pond

Change Paddle or LED Colors

You can swap out the included white LEDs and/or front paddle and trim frame assembly with a color­change kit before or after SwitchLinc is installed. For more information, see the
INSTEON.com.
Accessories page on

Using Air Gap

Anyt i me yo u want SwitchLinc’s controlled load to be unpowered but don’t want to turn off the circuit breaker—such as when replacing light bulbs—use the air gap to quickly and conveniently disable power to the connected load.
Using your fingernail or a small flathead screwdriver, pull out SwitchLinc Set button as far as it will go (about 1/8”). This opens the mechanical contacts and removes all power from the SwitchLinc and its load. (Because SwitchLinc’s settings are stored in its non-volatile m em ory, your setup information will not be lost.) To re-enable power to SwitchLinc, simply push in the Set button until it is flush with the trim frame.

Factory Reset

All settings and scenes will be erased.
1) Pull out SwitchLinc Set button to remove power
2) Wait 5 seconds
Page 9 of 16 Rev: 1/21/2014 7:12 AM
