ADVANCED FEATURES OF SWITCHLINC DIMMER
Restoring Power to SwitchLinc Dimmer
SwitchLinc Dimmer stores all of its settings in non-volatile memory, so they are not lost even when power
is removed. In the event of a power loss, SwitchLinc Dimmer will automatically return the light being
controlled to the brightness level it had before the power was interrupted.
Resetting SwitchLinc Dimmer to Its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear SwitchLinc Dimmer’s memory and restore its factory
default settings. This procedure will clear the unit of all INSTEON Links, and any programmed On-Levels,
Ramp Rates, X10 Primary Address, or X10 Scene Addresses.
1. Before resetting a SwitchLinc Dimmer that has been linked to an INSTEON Controller, be sure to
unlink it from the Controller first. See Unlinking SwitchLinc Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller,
above.
2. If you are using SwitchLinc Dimmer to control any INSTEON Devices other than the light it is wired to,
unlink those Devices from SwitchLinc Dimmer. See Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from
SwitchLinc Dimmer, above.
3. Gently pull the SET Button at the bottom of the paddle out as far as it will go (about 1/8”). This “Air
Gap” removes all power to SwitchLinc Dimmer.
4. After 10 seconds, push the SET Button all the way down and hold for 3 seconds, then let up.
5. A few seconds after you let up on the SET button, SwitchLinc Dimmer will turn the light it is wired to
fully ON, indicating that the factory reset is complete. SwitchLinc Dimmer is now reset to all the
default settings and ready for fresh programming and use.
NOTE
Note: Unless they have been unlinked, INSTEON Devices that have been previously linked to
SwitchLinc Dimmer will still respond to paddle presses, even after a factory reset. The reason is
that the INSTEON Devices themselves have not been unlinked from SwitchLinc Dimmer. Follow
the procedure Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from SwitchLinc Dimmer, above, to unlink
individual INSTEON Devices.
