Changing Buttons
KeypadLinc buttons can be changed to customize its appearance. Use
care when removing the keycaps. Using a small, flat-edged screwdriver
(ONLY) pry up on the sides of the keys from the middle of the keypad
(when possible). Make sure you are centered on the key as to catch the
small edge located there for this purpose.
Also, please note that behind the buttons are clear plastic filler pieces
which diffuse the LED’s light more elegantly. Use care to keep these filler pieces in the button frame as
you re-assemble. Should any damage occur to KeypadLinc during customization, please contact 800-
762-7845 and we will be happy to replace your frame.
Local-Ramp-Rate (software recommended)
The Local-Ramp-Rate is the time it takes for the light(s) physically wired to KeypadLinc to brighten from
Off to 100% brightness. The default is 0.5 seconds. Local-Ramp-Rate is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 8
minutes (0.1- 9 seconds using the instructions below or up to 8 minutes using software such as
HouseLinc
)
1) Adjust the connected light(s) to brightness corresponding to desired Ramp-Rate
Brightness Level Ramp Rate in Seconds
39-48% 2.0
26-35% 4.5
1-10% 8.5
1% 9.0
2) Double-tap the Set button on your KeypadLinc
KeypadLinc will (Beep)-(Beep)
3) Test the Ramp Rate settings by tapping the On/Off buttons on your KeypadLinc or Controller
Connected light(s) will ramp up and down at the new rate
4) Start again if the ramp rate is not as desired or, if your double tap was not fast enough you may
have accidentally changed the Local-On-Level instead of the Local-Ramp-Rate (note: software
allows you to set on levels and ramp rates exactly as desired and consistently around the house)
