Installation
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
This product is not designed or approved for use on powerlines other than 100-240VAC,50Hz or 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this
product on non-approved powerlines may have hazardous consequences.
- Use only indoors or in outdoor rated box
- 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 this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON 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 outsi de 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.
IMPORTANT! If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
TRIAC Dimming Technology
INSTEON dimming modules utilize a leading-edge TRIAC dimmer that modifies the first half of the AC wavef orm.
This type of dimmer is compatible with resistive and inductive loads but not capacitive loads.
Some low-voltage lights with AC transformers are not compatible with the type of dimmer used in INSTEON dimming
modules. Connecting a capacitive load to a TRIAC dimmer can damage both the lamp and the dimmer circuitry. If
your lamp requires a trailing-edge dimmer, do not connect it to an INSTEON dimming module. Instead, use an
INSTEON On/Off module.

Local On-Level
The local on-level is the brightness at which the connected load will come on when turned on at the local paddle. The
default on-level is 100% brightness, but it can be set to any one of 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%) or
“resume dim” (brightness prior to last being turned off).
1) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking gree n
2) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinking gree n
4) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a fourth time
LED will start blinking red
5) Tap Dimmer Module set button
LED will start double-blinking red
6) Use Dimmer Module’s paddle to adjust lamp to desired brightness desired when turned on at paddle (or turn off
to enable resume bright)
7) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button to accept
Dimmer Module will double-beep and the LED will stop blinking
8) Test by turning lamp off and then back on via Dimmer Module paddle
Light will turn on at new local on-level
Local Ramp Rate
The local ramp rate is the time it takes for the connected light to reach 100% brightness from full-off. The default local
ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but it can be adjusted from instant-on to 5 seconds (using set button) or up to 8 minutes
(with software).

Ramp Rate Presets
0.5 seconds
2 seconds
Note: If your local on-level is set to a brightness level that is less than 100%, the ramp rate will be faster than
programmed. For example, if your light has a 50% local on-level and a ramp rate of 2 seconds, it will take 1 second
for it to ramp from full-off to the local on-level.
1) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking green
2) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinking green
4) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a fourth time
LED will start blinking red
5) Slowly tap set button 2 times
LED will continue blinking red
6) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button to see the next available ramp rate
Load will ramp from off to on at the next available ramp rate
LED will continue blinking red
7) If this is the desired ramp rate, tap Dimmer Module set button to accept
Dimmer Module will double-beep and the LED will stop blinking
8) To see the next ramp rate, press and hold Dimmer Module set button again
Load will ramp from off to on at the next available ramp rate
“Instant”

9) Test by turning off and then back on via the local switch
Light will ramp off and back on at the new local ramp rate
Resume Dim
When resume dim is enabled, each time you turn on Dimmer Module it will go to the previously used dim level. By
default, Dimmer Module will come on at 100% brightness, but to change the desired level, simply follow the
instructions below. The next time you turn Dimmer Module off and on again, it will return to the last used dim level.
1) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps
LED will start blinking gree n
2) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a second time
LED will start blinking red
3) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a third time
LED will start blinking gree n
4) Press and hold Dimmer Module set button until it beeps a fourth time
LED will start blinking red
