The In-LineLinc Dimmer/Dual-Relay is an in-line INSTEON ballast control module that supports 2 different
operational modes: Dimmer Mode and a Dual-Relay Mode. For use in new construction or retrofit (inside
or outside the fixture) where saving energy is a priority.

Getting Started
Map out the wall switch and load that you are going to remotely operate. Keep in mind that you are going
to replace the existing wall switch with a KeypadLinc and wire both the KeypadLinc and the In-LineLinc to
the same constant hot line
using the existing wiring.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
This product 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. This product is not designed or approved for
use on power lines other than 100VAC- 277VAC 50/60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power
lines may have hazardous consequences.
- Use only indoors or in outdoor rated box
- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing this product into.
Installing this product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire
- This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no
hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the product’s label.
- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control loads in
excess of the specified maximum(s) or, install in locations with electricity specifications which are outside of the product’s
specifications. If this device supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer,
could cause damage to the dimmer, the load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not
recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
Identifying the Electrical Wires in your installation location
- LINE - usually black, may also be called HOT or LIVE, carries from 120 to 277VAC electricity into the switch box and to the
fixture
- NEUTRAL - usually white
- LOAD – usually red or blue or black
- GROUND - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.
Tools Needed
- Slotted screwdriver - Phillips screwdriver
- Wire cutter / stripper - Voltage Tester
