Before Installation
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
On/Off Outdoor Module is intended for ins tallation in accordance with the National El ect ri c Code and local regulations in the United States or the
Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada.
On/Off Outdoor Module is not designed nor approved for us e on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attem pting to use On/Off
Outdoor Module on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
Prior to installing On/Off Outdoor Module, please review the entire installation procedure and take the following precautions:
- Be sure On/Off Outdoor Module is connect ed to a 3-prong A C outlet t hat inc ludes a Ground Fault Circuit I nterrupt (GFCI) f eature. If On/Of f
Outdoor Module is plugged into an outlet without GFCI protection, make sure there is a GFCI device upstream (at another outlet closer to
the electrical panel or a GFCI circuit breaker).
- Test your GFCI protection each time On/Off Out door Module is plugged in, as well as on a m onthly basis. To test your GFCI protection,
make sure On/Off Outdoor Module is plugged i n and the connected load is on. Then, push the TEST but ton on the GFCI outlet or circuit
breaker. This unit must stop operating. Wait about 5 seconds and then push the RESET button on the GFCI outlet or circuit breaker. On/Off
Outdoor Module will begin receiving electricity and the connected load will turn on. If the GF CI circuit does not perform in this manner, there
may be an electrical malfunction, inc reasing the probability of el ectric shock. Disconnect the power unt il the problem has been corrected.
Please see the instructions that came with your GFCI device for specific testing proc edures. When in doubt of the GFCI device’s abi lity t o
detect a ground fault, replace the GFCI device.
- Don’t bury On/Off Outdoor Module, any electrical c able, or component connected to it. A buried power cord m ay result in electrocution if
improper cables are used or if digging occurs over the cable.
- Don’t allow vegetation to grow on or around On/Off Outdoor Module
- Don’t install On/Off Outdoor Module in a manner that allows water to accumulate around it
- If an extension cord is used, the cord must be properly grounded. Be sure t he extension cord is of adequate capacity to provi de power to
your load. A “light-duty” or “medium-duty” extension c ord may cause a voltage drop, which will cause overheating of the cable, plug, or
socket.
- Don’t attempt to open On/Off Outdoor Module. The case is sealed and can’t be opened. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- Don’t use On/Off Outdoor Module to control devices that preserve, maintain, or contribute to human or animal safety or life support
- Don’t plug On/Off Outdoor Module into an outlet controlled by a switch because if the switch is inadvertently turned off, On/ Off Outdoor
Module won’t have power
- Don’t plug On/Off Outdoor Module into a filtered power strip or AC line filter
- Be sure the device’s built-in switch is in the on position
- Don’t exceed the load rating of On/Off Outdoor Module. Check and add up all the electrical devi c es that will be attached and make sure the
total does not exceed 15 Amps.
- Don’t use any electrical cord or extension cord that is damaged or in poor condition
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you have any questions, call the INSTEON Support Line at 866-243-8022.

INSTEON Setup
Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Please refer to the other devices’ owner’s
manuals for details.
INSTEON Controller s, R es pon der s and Li nk s
Let’s define a few terms.
• 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
Note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply add a link “the other way.”
Make On/Off Outdoor Module a Responder
1) Press and hold controller set button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking
You will have four minutes to complete the next steps before linking mode times out
2) Use On/Off Module set button to adjust load to desired state (on or off)
3) Press and hold On/Off Outdoor Module set button until it double-beeps
Controller will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
4) Test link by tapping controller button on and off
Lamp connected to On/Off O utdoor Mod ul e will respond appropriately
Note:
- The link just created is one way. See Make On/Off Outdoor Module a Controller or Groups
to add another
link to keep the two products in sync.
- If you wish the load to be off when link is activated—such as for an “all off” scene—turn off the load in step
#2.
Make On/Off Outdoor Module a Con tr ol l er
1) Press and hold On/Off Module set button until it beeps
On/Off Module LED will start blinking green

Page 6 of 13 2634-222 - Rev: 1/21/2014 7:45 AM
Page 7
Groups
Devices in a group share all the same settings (e.g., on-level, ramp rate). This keeps all group members
synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of, and responder to, all the other devices. The most
common example of a group is a 3-way lighting circuit (2 switches). For simplicity, we will assume that the desired
group level is on.
The following steps will create a virtual 3-way circuit including device “A” and device “B”:
1) Turn A and B on
2) Press and hold A set button until it beeps
A status 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
4) Press and hold B set button until it beeps
B LED will start blinking green
5) Press and hold A set butto n until it double-beeps
B will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
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 synch
Scenes
Devices in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced scene creation. Software is
recommended for scene management.
Example of a scene with 1 controller and On/Off Outdoor Module as a member:
1) Press and hold controller set button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking green
2) Tap controller set button
Controller LED will start double-blinking green
3) Use On/Off Module set button to adjust load to desired state (on or off)
4) Press and hold On/Off Outdoor Module set button until it double-beeps
5) For each additional scene member:
a) Adjust member to desired scene brightness
b) Press and hold Set button until it double-beeps
6) Tap controller set button
Controller will beep and LED will stop blinking
7) Test by tapping controller button on and off
On/Off Outdoor Module and other scene responders will all respond appropriately
