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.
Installing SwitchLinc (in circuits with 1 Switch) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Turn off breaker1 supplying power to wall box Remove wallplate and unscrew old switch Gently pull out and disconnect wires from old switch2 Turn breaker back on Check old switch wires with a voltage meter to identify Line and Load Turn breaker back off 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 Li
Installing SwitchLinc (in circuits with 2 Switches “3-Way Circuit”) Circuits with 2 switches are called 3-way circuits. Once installed, see the section “GROUPING” for programming instructions. Notes: - Both switches in 3-way circuits need to be replaced with INSTEON products - INSTEON products do not require travelers.
17) Test by tapping SwitchLincs’ paddles Connected load will turn on and off LEDs on both SwitchLincs will remain in synch 18) Reinstall wallplates sing SwitchLinc LEDs Using SwitchLinc On LED Off LED Setup LED Tap for ON Tap for OFF SwitchLinc Paddle Tap Top On Bottom Off Press & hold Double-tap LEDs Brighten Fast on to Responders Top LED on Fast off to Responders Bottom LED on Responders Dim Responders Page 11 of 39 Rev: 3/6/2012 9:45 AM
Setup INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links First, let’s define a few terms. The device initiating an INSTEON message is called a Controller. The device receiving the message is called a Responder The association between the controller and responder is called a Link Link Responder Controller Please note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way”, simply repeat link setup process “the other way”. Most INSTEON devices can store hundreds of links.
Responder LED will stop blinking and it may (Beep)-(Beep) 3 5) Test by tapping SwitchLinc paddle on and off Responder will toggle between the scene on level and off 6) If you wish to add another responder, repeat steps 1-5 or (see Add Multiple Responders) Notes: - The link just created is one-way, see “SwitchLinc a Controller” to add another link to keep the two products in synch.
Stop SwitchLinc from Responding If you no longer want a controller button to control SwitchLinc follow these directions. Note: If you ever wish to un-install SwitchLinc, it is important that you remove all SwitchLinc responder links. Otherwise, controllers will retry commands repetitively, creating network delays.
5) Tap SwitchLinc set button SwitchLinc status LED will stop blinking 6) Test by tapping controller button a couple of times All responders removed will not respond LED Brightness 1) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it beeps LED will start blinking green 2) Press & hold set button until it beeps again SwitchLinc setup LED will start blinking red 3) Press & hold set button until it beeps a third time SwitchLinc setup LED will stop blinking and turn off SwitchLinc status LED will illuminate at curren
X10 Setup SwitchLinc ships with no X10 address assigned.
Changing the Paddle and LED Colors Note: The setup LED uses red and green colors to assist in programming the SwitchLinc. Changing the clear light pipe to a different color will make determining red or green colors difficult. You can remove the LEDs and/or front paddle and trim frame assembly before or after SwitchLinc is installed. During the changeover process, power and load may remain on and operating. There are no dangerous voltages or unsafe areas under the paddle.
Figure 4: Installed correctly Figure 5: Installed incorrectly 9) Gently place the paddle assembly back onto front of SwitchLinc. A little force may be necessary to snap the assembly over the set button. Reinstall four screws that you removed in step 2. Using SwitchLinc as a Phase Bridge SwitchLinc automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other DualBand devices on the “other phase”). This is only important if you have powerline only INSTEON products in your home.

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on The LED bar on SwitchLinc is not turning on at all and connected load will not turn on SwitchLinc is not getting power The switch I'm replacing only has two wires SwitchLinc needs a NEUTRAL wire in order to operate SwitchLinc unexpectedly turned on Solution Check junction box wires to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed Check the light fixture to ensure all connections are tight and no bare w
SwitchLinc is not receiving signals from X10 controllers SwitchLinc and the controller are on opposite power line phases Install a SignaLinc™ phase coupler to properly bridge the two power line phases The controller is plugged into a power strip. Power line signals can't travel through power filters. Plugging the controller directly into a wall outlet works best.
