INSTEON KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer User’s Guide
Installing KeypadLinc Dimmer
1. For best INSTEON Network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two SignaLinc
RF Signal Enhancers.
2. At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction
box. Verify that power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches.
3. Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch you are replacing and
pull it out from the junction box.
4. Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot be detached by
unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends.
5. If you are installing KeypadLinc Dimmer into a standard two-way circuit (where only one switch
controls the load), follow the diagram below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and
GROUND wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the diagram, be sure you have identified the
wires correctly before connecting them.
6. If you are installing KeypadLinc Dimmer into a multi-way circuit (where more than one switch
controls the same load), follow the instructions in the section titled Installing KeypadLinc Dimmer in a
Multi-Way Circuit to identify and connect the LINE, TRAVELER, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires.

7. After you have connected all of the wires, ensure that all of the wire connectors are firmly attached

screw it into place.
9. Turn the circuit breaker back on or re-install the fuse.
10. After the SET button illuminates, verify KeypadLinc Dimmer is working properly by turning the light on
and off.
