Congratulations
Congratulations on purchasing LampLinc, the most powerful lamp module available.
LampLinc is based on our popular SwitchLinc
features.
Lamp modules are the easiest way to add sophisticated lighting control to your home. No
tools or electrical knowledge are needed. Just plug LampLinc into a wall receptacle and
plug the lamp into the bottom outlet of the lamp module; it's that simple.
TM
wall switches and has many of the same
LampLinc comes in three major models;
PLC, Plus and 2-Way. The LampLinc 2-Way
has the ability to transmit its ON/OFF status when polled by a transmitter or if the device
being controlled (the load) is switched on manually. It also includes the ability to respond
to multiple signals or scenes. The LampLinc Plus includes only the scene ability, which
is ideal for users who don't need the LampLinc to respond to status signals. The affordable LampLinc PLC lacks the scene and two-way features, but still retains all the quality
that make the whole LampLinc family an outstanding performer. Each type is available
with a 2-pin plug and outlet for AC receptacles in North America or in a 3-pin configuration, which includes the ground connection.
Key Features
• Use with any standard household lamp up to 400 watts
• Responds to 65 different X10/PLC (PowerLine Carrier) signals
• 32 levels of dimming and 32 fading on & off rates
• No tools or hardwiring into the electrical system
• Pass-through receptacle on the front for other un-controlled electrical devices
• Green Status LED indicator shows powerline activity
• Codes are electronically set (no code wheels) and remembered even if unplugged!
• Two-year warranty
(Plus models only)
Smarthome automation products have been intelligently engineered to complement
the X10/PLC platform that all of our products are derived from, making it easier for
you, the customer, to make changes to your home as your lifestyle
changes.
SwitchLinc 2-Way Wall Switches

Caution!
Read and understand these instructions before installing.
This device 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. To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not install this product to control a non-lighting load. Use
indoors only. Retain these instructions for future reference. Dimming an inductive
load (such as a fan) below the minimum voltage set by the manufacturer of the load
device could cause damage to the load device from overheating. If the manufacturer
of the load device does not recommend dimming, DO NOT use LampLinc’s Dimming
capabilities or use a non-dimming module. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.

Setting the Primary Address
Each LampLinc requires a primary PLC address to operate. It ships from the factory
with “A1” as the default address; it will also have this address after performing a factory reset. Any of the 256 PLC addresses can be programmed.
The LampLinc does not use flimsy code wheels or dials to set its primary address.
Instead, it will accept the first address it finds on the powerline once the programming
mode is started. Any PLC-compatible transmitter can be used to set the primary
address.
1. Press and hold the Set Button above the green
indicator on the right side of the module for 5 seconds until the Green Status LED begins flashing
and the lamp goes to 100% brightness.
2. Within 30 seconds, transmit the desired primary
address (house code and unit code) from any
transmitter. When LampLinc receives the address,
the lamp's light will blink.
3. Set the Local Control Feature by sending an ON or
OFF Command (see page 9 for more details).
a) Sending an “ON” command immediately after
the house and unit code will activate the load
detect feature. (Recommended)
b) Sending an “OFF” command immediately after
the house and unit code will disable the load
detect feature (recommended for lamps with
compact fluorescent bulbs).
4. Once the LampLinc has received a valid address and either an “ON” or “OFF”,
the light controlled by the LampLinc will blink and the Green Status LED will
stop flashing.
Tip:
If you have trouble communicating to the
LampLinc, there may be a
lot of signal activity on the
powerline. Unplug transmitters that send signals
that might be intercepted
by the module during the
programming sequences.
RF transceivers, computer
controllers, and X10 thermostats should be
unplugged to avoid interference.
Controlling the Lamp Remotely
The LampLinc responds to any of the 256 PLC/X10 addresses. The LampLinc will
respond to ON, OFF, ALL LIGHTS ON, ALL UNITS OFF, PRESET DIM, BRIGHT, and DIM
commands. The LampLinc can be controlled remotely from any compatible transmitter
by sending its base address (e.g., M6) and the command.
Setting the Fade-On/Off Rate (Optional)
The “Fade-On/Off” is the speed at which LampLinc brings
the brightness of the light up or down when the module is
turned on locally or receives a powerline carrier (PLC) ON or
OFF command to its primary address. The Fade-On/Off is
adjustable from .1 seconds to nine minutes. The factory
default is about three seconds. It may be changed at the
module or remotely. (See Advanced Primary Address
