Installation
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 single-phase voltages between 100V and 277V, 50/60Hz. Attempting to use this product on nonapproved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
Recommended installation practices:
Use only indoors or in an 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.
The wires connecting SwitchLinc to the incoming power must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of 20-amps or less
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.
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 Home
Line - usually Black, may also be called HOT, LIVE or Power, carries 100 - 277VAC electricity into the wall box
Neutral - usually White commonly daisy chained from box to box usually appearing as a White wire bundle
Load – usually Black from a separate cable jacket
Ground - Bare wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
IMPORTANT!
Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the product’s label. Please take note for
future reference
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.

Installing SwitchLinc (in circuits with 1 Switch)
1) Turn off breaker1 supplying power to wall box
2) Remove wallplate and unscrew old switch
3) Gently pull out and disconnect wires from old switch
4) Turn breaker back on
5) Check old switch wires with a voltage meter to identify Line and Load
6) Turn breaker back off
7) Connect wires as follows
Sequence SwitchLinc Home Wire Commonly
1 Copper Ground Bare, green or green screw
2 White Neutral White bundle in back of box
3 Red Load
4 Black Line
8) Gently place SwitchLinc into wall box with LED bar on left and screw into place
9) Turn breaker back on
SwitchLinc LED bar and connected load will turn on
10) Test by tapping SwitchLinc on and off
11) Reinstall the wallplate

1
If multi-gang box, turn off all breakers (or fuses) that could possibly be supplying power to the box
2
If the wires cannot be detached, cut the wires where they enter switch and strip ½” of insulation off ends
