INSTEON Setup

Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Please refer to the other devices’
owner’s manuals for details.

INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links

• 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.”

Configure INSTEON Settings

Most Smoke Bridge links and settings can be configured locally with the module’s Set button.
All Smoke Bridge settings can be managed remotely via software (sold separately).

Notes:
If you link to other INSTEON devices using the Set button, only the “Smoke Detected” signal will trigger

the INSTEON devices. To verify Smoke Bridge puts the responders in the correct state, you must put the
responders into a different state and then use Set button to test.

If you are using software, such as HouseLinc to manage Smoke Bridge, you can create scenes for any of
the above groups.

The Smoke Detector Test group is only initiated by pressing and holding the Test button on the First Alert
smoke alarm.

Adjust Local Settings

INSTEON Blink on Traffic

Default = disabled
This setting is only adjustable via software or a central controller. Smoke Bridge LED will blink green if it

detects noise that could disrupt communication. It will blink red when it sees traffic to it from its paired
First Alert Smoke Alarm.

Programming Lock

Default = disabled
This setting is only adjustable via software or a central controller. When enabled, Programming Lock will

disable the Set button so that a user can not adjust settings or modify links. This is typically used in
commercial or installer applications.

Resetting Smoke Bridge to its Factory Default Settings

All settings and scenes will be erased, including the link between the First Alert Smoke Alarm and the
Smoke Bridge. To continue to use the Smoke Bridge with a First Alert Smoke Alarm, you must relink
them using the steps in “Pairing Smoke Bridge to First Alert Smoke Alarm” above.

1) Unplug Smoke Bridge to remove power

2) Wait 5 seconds

3) Press and hold Set button while plugging in Smoke Bridge. Do not let go.

Smoke bridge will emit a long beep

4) When long beep stops, release Set button

A few seconds will pass
