Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from KeypadLinc Dimmer
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Device that has previously been linked to KeypadLinc
Dimmer, it is very important that you unlink it, because otherwise KeypadLinc Dimmer will retry any
commands intended for the unused INSTEON Device, thus slowing down your system.
1. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the appropriate Secondary
Button for 10 seconds until the LED begins blinking slowly and the controlled light flashes.
2. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Unlinking Mode by pressing and holding the same Secondary button
again for 10 seconds until the controlled light flashes again.
3. Follow the same method given above that you used to link your INSTEON Device to unlink it. On
most INSTEON Devices, you just push an ON Button for 10 seconds or a SET Button for 3 seconds.
4. Go back to the KeypadLinc Dimmer that you placed in Unlinking Mode. If linking was successful, the
its LED will not be blinking but will remain steadily on.
Creating an INSTEON Scene
INSTEON Scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button. INSTEON
Scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one INSTEON Device to KeypadLinc Dimmer. Then,
when you press either the On or Off buttons on the KeypadLinc Dimmer, all of the INSTEON Devices
linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple INSTEON Devices to multiple
INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional INSTEON Device to a scene controlled by KeypadLinc Dimmer, simply follow the
same procedure as above in Linking KeypadLinc Dimmer to a Controlled INSTEON Device. To remove
an INSTEON Device from a scene, see Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from KeypadLinc
Dimmer.
TIP
You can avoid having to hold KeypadLinc Dimmer’s On button down for 10 seconds for each
INSTEON Device in a scene by placing KeypadLinc Dimmer in Scene Setup Mode, also called
Multilink Mode.
1. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Scene Setup Mode
by pressing and holding the desired button for 10
seconds, then pressing the SET Button at the
bottom of the switch. KeypadLinc Dimmer’s LED
will blink slowly.
2. Follow the linking method given above for the INSTEON Device you want to include in the scene.
On most INSTEON Devices, you just push an ON Button for 10 seconds or a SET Button for 3
seconds. KeypadLinc Dimmer will flash its controlled light to confirm linking, and the LED will
continue to blink slowly.
3. On some INSTEON Devices, you may be able to set up additional features, such as On-Levels or
Ramp Rates at this time.
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON Devices you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON Devices to KeypadLinc Dimmer, complete Scene Setup
by pressing the ON Button (actually, any button press will terminate Scene Setup). The
KeypadLinc Dimmer’s LED will stop blinking and remain steadily on. You have about 4 minutes of
inactivity before KeypadLinc Dimmer’s Scene Setup Mode times out automatically.
