HOW TO SET UP SWITCHLINC DIMMER TO REMOTELY CONTROL AN
INSTEON DEVICE
Linking SwitchLinc Dimmer to a Controlled INSTEON Device
To use SwitchLinc Dimmer as an INSTEON Controller, follow these steps to link SwitchLinc Dimmer and
a controlled INSTEON Device together. Refer to your INSTEON Device’s User’s Guide for detailed
instructions on how to properly install it and link it to SwitchLinc Dimmer. The following will work for the
most common INSTEON Devices.
1. Set SwitchLinc Dimmer to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the
Paddle Top for 10 seconds until the top LED in the LED Bar begins
blinking slowly and the controlled light flashes. Don’t let up too soon – 10
seconds is a pretty long time!
BE CAREFUL
Any paddle press will exit Linking Mode early.
2. Select your INSTEON Device from the list below and follow the linking method for that Device. You
have about 4 minutes to perform this step before SwitchLinc Dimmer’s Linking Mode times out
automatically.
A. A Second SwitchLinc Dimmer – Press and hold the Second SwitchLinc
Dimmer’s Paddle Top for 10 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, the
Second SwitchLinc Dimmer will blink the top LED in its LED Bar and flash the
light that it is wired to.
B. LampLinc™ V2 Dimmer – Press and hold the SET Button on the side of
LampLinc V2 Dimmer for 3 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, LampLinc
V2 Dimmer will blink its Status LED and flash the lamp that it is controlling.
C. ApplianceLinc™ V2 – Press and hold the SET Button on the side of
ApplianceLinc V2 for 3 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, ApplianceLinc
V2 will blink its Status LED.
D. KeypadLinc™ V2 – Press and hold the ON Button at the top of KeypadLinc V2
for 10 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, KeypadLinc V2 will blink the
ON Button and flash the light that it is wired to.
E. Other INSTEON Devices – See the INSTEON Device’s User’s Guide.
3. Go back to the SwitchLinc Dimmer that you placed in Linking Mode. If linking was successful, the top
LED in its LED Bar will not be blinking but will remain steadily on.
4. Test that your INSTEON Device is working as expected by pressing the Paddle Top and Paddle
Bottom.
