Introduction
OutletLinc brings the power of INSTEON into your home, allowing you
to remotely control and dim any device plugged directly into the top
outlet.
OutletLinc also works as an INSTEON signal repeater and can be used
to bridge the power phases in your home (like an Access Point, #2443).
Use indoors only with incandescent loads up to 300 Watts.

Installation Instructions
1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disable the circuit supplying power to the outlet
2) Remove the existing wallplate from the outlet you are replacing. Then, unscrew the outlet itself and pull it out from
the junction box.
3) Disconnect the wires from the outlet you are replacing and ensure that you have ½ inch of bare wires on the ends
4) To correctly identify the outlet’s LINE, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires, enable power to the outlet from the circuit
breaker or use a line voltage meter, and then turn the breaker off again
5) Twist together the bare copper OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s GROUND wire with an included wire nut
6) Twist together the white OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s NEUTRAL wire (usually white) with an included wire nut
7) Twist together the black OutletLinc wire to the outlet’s LINE wire with an included wire nut
8) Ensure all the wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND
wire
9) Carefully install OutletLinc into the electrical box and replace the wallplate
10) Enable power to the outlet from the circuit breaker or fuse panel
The OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid red
11) Attach the included Outlet Dimmer Key to the plug of the load you wish to
control with the magnet at the bottom. The flat side of the key should face
away from the prongs of the plug (so the key will lay flush against
OutletLinc when the load is plugged in).
12) Plug the load into the top outlet on OutletLinc
The load should turn on and the OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid green
13) If the load does not turn on, turn it on manually using the switch on the load itself
OPTIONAL: You can use the bottom outlet on OutletLinc as you would and ordinary outlet.
To control the load, you will need to Link OutletLinc to an INSTEON Controller (see Linking OutletLinc as a
Responder). You will not be able to control the load from OutletLinc itself. See the Controller’s Owner’s Manual for
instructions on how to control OutletLinc.
NOTE: You will not be able to control the load from the manual switch. Make sure the load’s manual switch is always in
the on position. Otherwise, the load will not receive INSTEON communications.
