About In-LineLinc Relay

In-LineLinc can be inst a lled in-line for lighting fixtures, providing INSTEON control to individual fixtures.
Additionally, In-LineLinc eliminates the need for a conventional light switch – reducing “switch sprawl”
common to automation projects. You can also use In-LineLinc as an INSTEON signal repeater and phase
bridger (like an Access Point, #2443). In-LineLinc Relay Dual-Band supports voltages from 120 to 277V,
and loads up to 20 Amps, making it the perfect energy saving, wireless controller for commercial building
automation systems.

Features & Benefits

• Once installed, setup is easy – links to other INSTEON devices in minutes

• Controls resistive and inductive loads up to 20 Amps or incandescent loads up to 1800 Watts

• Status LED and beeper shows INSTEON setup mode activity

• Communicates simultaneously over both radio frequency (RF) and the power line

• Acts as an access point for RF-only INSTEON devices

• Stores setup state in memory so settings aren’t lost during power outages

• Wires into standard J-boxes (requires a NEUTRAL connection)

• Two-year warranty

Installation

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.

In-LineLinc 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. In-LineLinc is not designed nor approved for use on

power lines other than 120VAC-277VAC 60Hz. Attempting to use In-LineLinc on non-approved power lines may have hazardous

• Use only indoors or in outdoor rated box

• Be sure that you have turned off the ci rcuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are ins talling In-LineLinc in.

Installing In-LineLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.

• Connect only copper or copper-cl ad wire to In-LineLinc

• In-LineLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no

hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the rear of In-LineLinc is as clear of clutter as
possible.

• Each In-LineLinc is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the device’s label.

• To reduce the risk of overheating and pos sible damage to other equipm ent, use In-LineLinc to control no more than 20

Amps (1800 Watts of incandescent) at 110VAC-277VAC.

• You will need a flathead screwdriver, a philips head screwdriver and a voltage meter to install In-LineLinc

consequences.

Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home

To install In-LineLinc, you will need to identify the following four wires:

• LINE - usually black, may also be called HOT or LIVE, carries 110-277VAC electricity to the load

• NEUTRAL - usually white

• GROUND - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)

If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you.

IMPORTANT!

If you are not knowledgeable about, and c om fortable with, electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install In-

Tools You Will Need

• Screwdrivers (both Flathead and Phillips)

• Voltage tester

• Wire cutter / stripper

• Probe that is non-conductive to press the Set button

Installing In-LineLinc

1) Be sure to write down the INSTEON ID and location of the fixture you’ll be controlling (e.g., 01.F7.G5,
Mike’s bedroom light)
