ADVANCED FEATURES OF KEYPADLINC DIMMER
Restoring Power to KeypadLinc Dimmer
KeypadLinc 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, KeypadLinc Dimmer will automatically return the light
being controlled to the brightness level it had before the power was interrupted.
Resetting KeypadLinc Dimmer to Its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear KeypadLinc Dimmer’s memory and restore its factory
default settings. This procedure will clear the unit of ALL INSTEON Links, any programmed On-Levels,
Ramp Rates, X10 Primary Address and X10 Scene Addresses.
3. Before resetting a KeypadLinc Dimmer that has been linked to an INSTEON Controller, be sure to
unlink it from the Controller first. See Unlinking KeypadLinc Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller,
above.
4. If you are using KeypadLinc Dimmer to control any INSTEON Devices other than the light it is wired
to, unlink those Devices from KeypadLinc Dimmer. See Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device
from KeypadLinc Dimmer, above.
5. Gently pull the SET Button at the bottom of the switch out as far as it will go (about 1/8”). This “Air
Gap” removes all power to KeypadLinc Dimmer.
6. After 10 seconds, push the SET Button all the way down and hold for 3 seconds, then let up.
7. A few seconds after you let up on the SET button, KeypadLinc Dimmer will turn the light it is wired to
fully ON, indicating that the factory reset is complete. KeypadLinc 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
KeypadLinc 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 KeypadLinc Dimmer. Follow
the procedure Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from KeypadLinc Dimmer, above, to unlink
individual INSTEON Devices.
Toggle Mode
Buttons can be configured to act in toggle mode, where successive presses of the same button alternate
on and off commands, or non-toggle mode, where repeated presses of the same button always send the
same state command (ON or OFF). Buttons default to toggle mode. To alternate between toggle and
non-toggle mode, press, hold and release the desired button three times: the first press should last 10
seconds, the second and third presses should be held for 5 seconds. If non-toggle mode is desired, send
an ON or OFF command to the button you want non-toggle (For non-toggle off start with the status LED
off, for non-toggle on start will the status LED on). For example, if you want a button to always send the
OFF command, press and hold 3 times as described above and then link it to another controller or button
and send the non toggle button an off command (then unlink it from the button or controller). NOTE:
Button LEDs will not indicate device/scene state when configured for non-toggle mode.
