conguration. For INSTEON, this is called
Cross Linking.
A AB BLoad
To group Switch A and B so that they each
control one another and the connected

To Cross Link, simply turn on the devices and
perform the linking process twice, once in

Troubleshooting
On/Off Module LED does not turn on
It is possible your On/Off Module is not receiving power. If the attached load can still be controlled, It is possible
that the status LED has been disabled.
Try this:
• Test On/Off Module in a different power outlet. If the LED illuminates when using a different outlet, check
the original outlet for power. Some outlets are controlled by a switch elsewhere in the room. Avoid switched
outlets as they disable your INSTEON device when turned off.
• If the outlet works and the connected load can be toggled, use software or the programming wheel to
change the behavior of the status LED. The status LED brightness can be dimmed to the point that it
appears off. HouseLinc allows setting of this device property.
Unable to add On/Off module to a scene as a controller or a responder
If the device has power, something is likely interfering with the INSTEON signal. Large appliances, power strips
and some electronic devices may generate powerline noise.
Try this:
• Check to see if you have connected On/Off Module to a power strip, surge suppressor, backup battery or
AC line lter. These devices often lter out the INSTEON powerline signal. Relocate the On/Off Module to a
standard AC outlet.
• Large appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners may be generating powerline noise that is disrupting
the INSTEON signal. If the issue only appears to happen when one of these large appliances is running,
install a noise lter at that device. If you are uncertain of the device generating the noise, disconnect the
potentially offending devices from power and test your On/Off Module again. If the issue is resolved, install
noise lters at each offending appliance.
• Some small electronics devices that include an AC/DC power supply can generate substantial electrical
noise, in some cases, enough to disrupt an entire house of INSTEON devices. Search your home for
speaker docks, small stereos, etc. and disconnect them from power to perform testing. If removing these
devices from your powerline resolves the INSTEON issue, install a noise lter at each offending small
electronic appliance.
• Your On/Off Module may be too far from another INSTEON device to receive a signal. Try locating the On/
Off Module closer to another INSTEON device and if the issue is resolved, install a Range Extender or other
Dual-Band INSTEON device between the intended location of your On/Off Module and the next nearest
INSTEON device.
The On/Off Module is slow to respond to commands from a controller
This issue most likely lies with the controller, not the On/Off Module; the controller is most likely repeating
commands not acknowledged by an INSTEON device that has been removed from the network. The repeated
commands are slowing down the INSTEON network, resulting in a delayed response from the On/Off Module.
Try this:
• Consider if you have removed any INSTEON devices from you network that were part of the slow-torespond scene. If so, the links to these devices need to be removed from the controller. Use software to
examine the database of the controller or if you know the modules that were removed, manually remove
their links using the standard unlinking procedure.
• If you are unable to identify the missing devices, perform a factory reset on the controller. This will remove
all links from the controller’s database but will also require that you recongure the device’s scenes and
properties.
25
Troubleshooting
The connected appliance turned on by itself
There must be a device in your INSTEON network that is unexpectedly linked to the On/Off Module
Try this:
• Use software to examine the On/Off Module’s links. If you can identify the stray controller, remove the link.
• If you are unable to identify the unexpected controller, perform a factory reset on the On/Off Module. This
will remove all links from the module’s database but will also require that you recongure the device’s
scenes and properties.
Using a controller, On/Off Module will turn off but not turn on
Most likely, the On/Off Module was linked to the controller with the load set to Off
Try this:
• Make sure the On/Off Module’s connected load is on and then re-link the device to your INSTEON
controller. This link will overwrite the previous “off” link.
On/Off Module does not respond to button taps or controller links
A power surge or excessive powerline noise may have caused the module to unexpectedly stop responding.
Try this:
• Unplug On/Off Module for 10 seconds and then reconnect the device to power. Test the local buttons to
see if the load will turn on or off.
• While unusual, On/Off Module may require a factory reset to restore normal operation. Follow the
procedure outlined in the Programming Wheel to reset the device to factory settings. You will be required to
recongure the device’s scenes and properties after the reset.
When using the connected load’s switch, the load does not turn on
Your load may not be receiving power if the On/Off Module is off.
Try this:
• Use the buttons on the side of the On/Off Module to turn on the connected device. Remember, if the
connected load is turned off using its own switch, On/Off Module is unable to control the device.
• If your connected load is a lamp, check the bulb. It is possible that your light bulb needs to be replaced.
