INSTEON KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer User’s Guide
ABOUT INSTEON KEYPADLINC DIMMER
Congratulations on purchasing the INSTEON
™ KeypadLinc™ Dimmer. With its elegant look, smooth
touch, and convenient secondary buttons, you can not only control the lights that you wire it to, but you
can remotely control all kinds of other INSTEON and X10 devices in your home to match your lifestyle, all
from the same switch. Besides controlling other devices, KeypadLinc Dimmer can itself be remotely
operated from other INSTEON or X10 Controllers, including other KeypadLinc Dimmers.
What is INSTEON?
INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-n-
Tap
™
setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well
as radio-frequency for communication. Reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way repeater.
And affordable, not just because of low cost, but because INSTEON also works with legacy X10 devices.
An INSTEON home grows in value with every INSTEON device you add, making life more convenient,
safe and fun.
