Hot or Line - The wire in the junction box that contains the incoming electricity
from the electrical panel. It is usually black and may be tied with a wire nut to
other black wires in the rear of the box.
Load- The wire in the junction box that goes to the light(s). Usually, there is just
one load wire in a junction box and it's commonly black. No voltage is present on
the wire when the switch is off.
Neutral- While not used on a mechanical switch to control a load, KeypadLinc will
need a neutral wire to operate. Generally, the neutral wires are white and located
in the rear of the junction box. There may be two or more wires tied together by a
wire nut.

Congratulations!
Thanks for purchasing the KeypadLinc Wall Mounted Controller, the finest high
quality powerline-controllable keypad available. This amazingly flexible X10 controller
is packed with some of the most advanced features available, allowing you to send
any standard X10 command, including PRE-SET DIM commands! From controlling
single lights to triggering elaborate multi-room scenes, this KeypadLinc wallmounted keypad can do it all.
Two versions are available:
The Keypad Linc with an Integrated Dimmer replaces the functions of two separate
components, a wall transmitter and a load controller. Because load control is built
into the module, it is easy to replace an existing light switch making it ideal for new
homes or retrofits. With KeypadLinc, you have the convenience of a wall mounted
transmitter, plus the equivalent of a SwitchLinc 2-Way wall switch.
Regular KeypadLincs lack the integrated dimmer. They are ideal for installations
where an existing wall switch isn't being removed for the new KeypadLinc. These
units can also be used in place of an existing light switch if the load is going to be
controlled with a separate module.
This manual covers the programming of both types of KeypadLincs. Some of the
programming involving the integrated dimmer will not apply to the regular
KeypadLincs (12063W and 12064W).
KeypadLinc Features
• Wires in just like a standard wall switch*
• Easy, flexible programming
• High-quality construction designed for years of use
• All settings are held in non-volatile memory (no code wheels to set)
• Status LED/ Set Button shows powerline activity and facilitates programming
• Programmable "toggle" ability, allowing up to 4 different command functions from
one button (ON, OFF, BRIGHT, DIM, etc.)
KeypadLinc with Integrated Dimmer
• Any button can be programmed to control the integrated dimmer
• User-adjustable dimming Ramp Rate and On-Level
• Programs and behaves like other Smarthome 2-Way products
• Responds to 64 scene addresses, each with different ramp rates and dimming
levels
* Requires a neutral connection

Automation Products
Unlike most electric items, many PLC-based
products haven't changed much over the
years.
Our Marketing and Customer Service teams surveyed our
customers, like you, and our engineers have invented new and
better wall switches and plug-in modules. We include more
features, higher load handling, and better signal sensitivity for a
superior user experience. While in some cases, they cost more;
we hope you'll agree that not having to replace a dead module
every couple years is worth the added expense and reduced
aggravation. Please visit a retailer or distributor for the complete

CAUTION!!
Read and understand these instructions before installing! This device
is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code
and local regulations. For indoor use only. Connect only copper
or copper-clad wire to this device. Before installing the control,
disconnect power at the circuit breaker or remove the fuse to avoid
shock or damage to the control or to the installer. It is recommended
that a qualified electrician perform this installation. Retain these
instructions for future reference.
Glossary of Terms
PLC- Power Line Control- A control signal that is embedded onto the electricity
lines. X10 signals are a form of PLC signals.
X10 Address- The Address part of a PLC signal contains the House and Unit code.
An Address can be Unit codes 1 to 16 and House codes A - P. There are 256 total
PLC addresses. Examples of PLC Addresses are A-1, B-5, P-15, O-9.
X10 Command- The Command is action part of an PLC signal. It tells the module
what to do when it sees its address. Examples of a command are ON, OFF,
Bright, DIM, PREdim, All Light ON, and All Units OFF. There are other rarely used
commands, but these are the most common ones.
Toggle Mode - Causes KeypadLinc to send two different commands on alternate
presses. If the button's light is off, when pressed, it will send an ON signal. If the
button's light is on, it will send an OFF command when pressed.
Non-Toggle Mode - KeypadLinc will send the same X10 signal each time the button
is pressed regardless of the load's status or the indicator light.
Status & Status Request- Some receivers have the ability to report their status
when asked. These modules contain transmitters that can send PLC signals.
When a transmitter sends a Status Request command, the module will reply with
its status (On, Off, Predim at some %).
Resume Dim Level- If set, the KeypadLinc can come on to the level it was at before
it was turned off.
PreDim Level- One of 32 brightness levels the KeypadLinc can instantly (or slowly)
change the light’s brightness to a predefined brightness level.
Scenes in KeypadLinc - the integrated dimmer can be set up to respond to multiple
PLC signals. When received, the KeypadLinc will turn on its load to a predefined
brightness level. When KeypadLinc transmits a scene signal to other
KeypadLincs, SwitchLincs and LampLincs, the lighting mood instantly changes.
Maxi Controller- An PLC transmitter that has separate buttons for the unit codes
and the commands. In some of the advanced set up functions for the
KeypadLinc, it is necessary for only a unit code to be sent. The X10 SC-503,
Leviton 6320, Stanley 370-2549 are examples of Maxi-Controllers. We
recommend having a Maxi Controller to set up the KeypadLinc.
X10 Keypress- This is an PLC signal that only contains the house and unit code
WITHOUT a command. The Maxi-Controller, some TouchLinc LCD controllers, and
home automation interfaces can produce a keypress command.
Appliance Module- A receiver device that can be used with any type of load,
including lighting. It will never contain dimming control as it always has a hard
contact relay. An Appliance Module will ignore the All Lights ON command.
Lamp Module- A receiver that is used to control only lighting devices. It may contain
dimming control or it may have a hard contact relay. A Lamp Module will respond
to the All Lights ON command. KeypadLinc with Dimmer is defined as a lamp
module so it will respond to the All Lights On for the primary address housecode.

Use a KeypadLinc with an integrated dimmer to install
in place of an existing mechanical switch. You can
also use a transmit-only KeypadLinc, but you’ll need a
Fixture Relay Module (#2250/ 2251) to control the
load.

Problem
Keypad does not
take programming
signals & exits the
Setup Mode.
Signals being received at the
KeypadLinc are too weak.
After selecting the button for programming, send A-1
or A-2, then send the addresses and/or commands.
KeypadLinc
signals are not
triggering all the
modules.
The signal strength at
some modules is too
weak to trigger all the
modules.
1. Make sure the module is not plugged into
a power strip or noise filter.
2. Other electrical devices near the receiver may
be sucking up the signal. Unplug them and
test again. You may need a filter to keep
them from absorbing valuable X10 signals.
3. Install a signal bridge or coupler-repeater
(amplifier.)
Keypad is sending ALL
LIGHTS ON to some nonlamp modules.
Appliance modules and non-lamp modules will
ignore the ALL LIGHTS ON command. To control
these devices in groups, create a macro in your
home automation controller to send individual
signals after ALL LIGHTS ON is received.
That button is part of a
“Group.”
When this happens, it does not affect the
programming of the button, but it can be distracting
the first few times. See page 15 for instructions on
how to remove buttons from a group.
After pressing a
button, the light
just blinks & the
load does not
respond.
The keypad is detecting
an X10 signal on the line.
The keypad is detecting
electrical noise.
To prevent signal collisions, the KeypadLinc will
hold off sending the signal until the line clears.
Look for sources of electrical noise. Turn off motorized devices, dimmers, & fluorescent lights. When the
noise clears, the KeypadLinc will send the signal.
Buttons don’t
light up when
X10 signals are
received by the
KeypadLinc.
The lights on
the keypad do
not match the
status of
the load.
KeypadLinc is
locked up and
not responding.
Keypad does not
control the load
the original wall
switch controlled.
The button may be
defined as Non-Toggle.
The signal may not have
been strong enough.
The X10 module has
been controlled locally or
the connected load is
malfunctioning.
Button is programmed for
Status and the receiver
does not have Status
Request ability.
A glitch or surge in
the power line may have
caused the unit to lock
up.
The KeypadLinc 12063
& 12064 are only
transmitters. They do not
have any switching or
load control circuitry.
Only buttons that are defined at “Toggle” will
respond to incoming X10 signals. Group lights
will not respond to X10 signals received.
Consider installing a signal bridge or coupler-repeater
to improve signal strength throughout the house.
When X10 modules are controlled locally, like
turning off a wall switch, the X10 module does not
transmit out its status. The KeypadLinc does not
know that the module has been controlled locally.
In the Toggle Mode, make sure after entering
the address you send a single ON or BRIGHT to
tell the KeypadLinc that the receiving module
does not have Status Request abilities.
Turn off the power to the KeypadLinc at the circuit
breaker for five seconds and turn it back on. If it is
still behaving strangely, enter the Setup Mode and
reset the KeypadLinc to the Fact ory Default settings.
Possible Cause
Solution
Button is defined Non-Toggle
& is waiting for A-1 or A-2.
Move the transmitter to a different outlet. Consider
installing a signal bridge or coupler-repeater (amplifier).
When a button is
selected for
programming other
buttons light up.
Preparation
Before installing KeypadLinc, please familiarize yourself with the following and take
the necessary precautions listed here:
• Be sure that the circuit breaker turned off to the circuit being controlled.
Installing KeypadLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
• KeypadLinc Wiring Diagram on page 5 will help you to determine the wire colors
of the connections to the KeypadLinc and Remote Control Switch. Note: While
the neutral connection is optional on the Remote Control Switch, all KeypadLincs
require a neutral connection.
• Wiring for 3-way, 4-way, & up switch circuits follow conventional (standard, nonremote) wiring practice (plus the requirement for a neutral). Wiring the
SwitchLinc Multi-way Companion Switch requires the Line (Black) wire be
accessible and be the same 110V leg of the house wiring. The White wire on
the "slave" switch is to be connected to NEUTRAL ONLY. If neutral is not
available, cap the white wire, which will simply causes the nightlight LED not to
function.
• When using a KeypadLinc with Integrated Dimmer and a Multi-way Companion
Switch, one of the buttons on the KeypadLinc MUST BE assigned to the primary
address of the Integrated Dimmer in order for the companion switch to operate.
• The KeypadLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated
is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat build-up,
ensure that the area surrounding the rear of the KeypadLinc has adequate
ventilation (i.e., clear away excess insulation).
• Installation should be performed only by a qualified electrician, or by a
homeowner who is familiar and comfortable with electrical circuitry. If there are
any questions, consult an electrician or contact Smarthome's Tech Support
department for guidance.
Installation Instructions
The KeypadLinc can be easily installed in a new or existing home. The following
illustrations do not show the "outgoing" power wires. In a typical home, the circuits
are installed in a "daisy-chain" fashion. The electrician runs wires from the circuit
breaker box to the first switch, then the next switch box, and so on. Normally, "pigtail" connections will split off these cables inside the wall outlet boxes.
Common wiring colors:
o HOT (or LINE) is usually black wire
o LOAD is usually a black wire
o NEUTRAL is usually a white wire.
o Electrical GROUND is a copper or green wire.
o TRAVELERS (in a 3- or 4-way switch) are usually red.
These are the most common colors in use today. Depending on the age of the
building and local electrical codes, the colors could be different. Knowing which
wire is HOT or LINE is important so having a tester available will be helpful to the
success of the project.
