Tools Needed

Installation (Typical, 2-Way Circuit)

Note: For Multi-Way Circuit installation, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disable the circuit

supplying power to the switch

2) Remove the faceplate from the existing switch, then unscrew

the switch and pull it out from the junction box

3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing and

ensure you have 1/2” of bare wire on the ends

4) To correctly identify the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and

GROUND wires, enable power to the switch from the circuit

breaker or fuse panel, use a line voltage meter, then turn the

breaker off again. See Figure 1 to properly connect your

wires to the INSTEON device.

Note: Mechanical switches don’t utilize NEUTRAL wires, but

they are usually available in the back of the switch box.

5) Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached and that

there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire

6) Orient SwitchLinc with the LED bar at the left, gently place it

into the junction box, and then screw it into place

7) Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse

panel

8) Test that SwitchLinc is working properly by turning the light

on and off

9) Reinstall the faceplate
