What is INSTEON?
INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-n­Tap™ setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well as radio-frequency for communication. Reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way repeater. And affordable, not just because of low cost, but because INSTEON also works with legacy X10 devices. An INSTEON home grows in value with every INSTEON device you add, making life more convenient, safe and fun.

HOW TO INSTALL LAMPLINC DIMMER
Caution
Read and understand these instructions before installing, and retain them for future reference.
LampLinc Dimmer is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. LampLinc Dimmer is not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use LampLinc Dimmer on non-approved powerlines may have hazardous consequences.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use LampLinc Dimmer to control 110V incandescent lamps only. Dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could cause damage to the dimmer, the load device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not recommend dimming, DO NOT use LampLinc Dimmer’s dimming capabilities or else use a non-dimming INSTEON module. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
LampLinc Dimmer Installation Tips
• Don’t plug LampLinc Dimmer into an outlet controlled by a switch, because if the switch is inadvertently turned off, LampLinc Dimmer won’t have power.
• Don’t use LampLinc Dimmer to control low-voltage lighting, fluorescent lights, or motors. These are inductive loads, which LampLinc Dimmer is not designed to control. Use a Smarthome ApplianceLinc™ instead.
• Don’t plug LampLinc Dimmer into a filtered power strip or AC line filter.
• Be sure the lamp you want to control is working and that the manual switch on the lamp itself is in the
ON position.
• If the lamp being controlled by LampLinc Dimmer already has its own built in dimmer, turn that dimmer to full on and allow LampLinc Dimmer to control the lamp’s brightness.
• Don’t stack LampLinc, ApplianceLinc, or PowerLinc™ modules together by plugging them into each other. Stacked modules may overheat and stop functioning.

Installing LampLinc Dimmer
1. For best INSTEON Network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two Access Points.
2. Plug LampLinc Dimmer into an unswitched wall receptacle. The white Status LED on the side will illuminate steadily.
3. Plug the lamp you want to control into the controlled outlet on the bottom of LampLinc Dimmer.
4. The lamp you plugged in will turn on. If the lamp does not turn on, turn it on manually using the switch on the lamp itself.
5. You can use the pass-through outlet on the front of LampLinc Dimmer as you would an ordinary uncontrolled wall outlet.

HOW TO SET UP LAMPLINC DIMMER
Linking LampLinc Dimmer to an INSTEON Controller
1. Select your INSTEON Controller from the list below and follow the method shown to put it into Linking Mode.
A. SwitchLinc™ Dimmer – Press and hold SwitchLinc Dimmer’s Paddle Top
for 10 seconds, then release. To confirm that it is in Linking Mode, SwitchLinc Dimmer will flash the light that it is wired to once and begin blinking the top LED in its LED Bar.
B. ControLinc™ Tabletop Controller – Choose the ON/OFF Button Pair you
want to use for controlling LampLinc Dimmer. Press and hold the ON Button of the pair for 10 seconds. To confirm that it is in Linking Mode, ControLinc’s Status LED will begin blinking.
C. KeypadLinc™ – Choose the ON Button you want to use for controlling
LampLinc Dimmer. Press and hold the ON Button for 10 seconds. To confirm that it is in Linking Mode, KeypadLinc will flash the light that it is wired to once and begin blinking the ON Button that you pushed.
D. Other INSTEON Controllers – See the INSTEON Controller’s User’s
Guide.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on LampLinc Dimmer for 3 seconds. Both the lamp you are controlling and LampLinc Dimmer’s Status LED will blink to confirm linking. Depending on the INSTEON Controller, you have about 4 minutes to perform this step before Linking Mode times out automatically.

Unlinking LampLinc Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller
If you are no longer going to use a LampLinc Dimmer that has previously been linked to an INSTEON Controller, it is very important that you unlink it, because otherwise the controller will retry any commands intended for the unused module, thus slowing down your system.
1. Select your INSTEON Controller from the list below and follow the method shown to put it into Unlinking Mode.
A. SwitchLinc Dimmer – Press and hold SwitchLinc Dimmer’s Paddle Top for
10 seconds TWICE. To confirm that it is in Unlinking Mode, SwitchLinc Dimmer will flash the light that it is wired to once for each paddle press and begin blinking the top LED in its LED Bar.
B. ControLinc™ Tabletop Controller – Press and hold the OFF Button of the
ON/OFF Button Pair you used for controlling LampLinc Dimmer for 10 seconds. To confirm that it is in Unlinking Mode, ControLinc’s Status LED will begin blinking.
C. KeypadLinc™ – Press and hold for 10 seconds the Button you used for
controlling LampLinc Dimmer, then press and hold the same Button for 10 seconds again. To confirm that it is in Unlinking Mode, KeypadLinc will flash the light that it is wired to once and begin blinking the ON Button that you pushed.
D. Other INSTEON Controllers – See the INSTEON Controller’s User’s Guide.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on LampLinc Dimmer for 3 seconds. Both the lamp you are controlling and LampLinc Dimmer’s Status LED will blink to confirm unlinking. Depending on the INSTEON Controller, you have about 4 minutes to perform this step before Unlinking Mode times out automatically.
