The controlled light does
not appear to turn on or
off right away
Responder’s Scene ramp
rate might be quite slow
Set a faster Ramp Rate – software
recommended
KeypadLinc responds to
on commands but not off
commands
Load connected to
KeypadLinc is producing
electrical noise that is
interfering with the
KeypadLinc reception of
power line signal
Install
between the
Load and KeypadLinc
Install additional INSTEON devices to boost
the INSTEON signal
My light only turns off
when I tap a button on
KeypadLinc, but I can
brighten and dim it
The On-Level may be set to
fully-off or very dim
Set a brighter On-Level. See
When I try to turn on my
light with another
Controller, the light turns
on, then back off
KeypadLinc may be set up
with an INSTEON On-Level
at a high brightness and an
X10 Primary or Scene
address On-Level at a low
brightness
Remove the X10 address
Remove the X10 address from the INSTEON
Controller
When I tap a button on
KeypadLinc, it takes a
long time for other
INSTEON devices it is
controlling to respond
KeypadLinc is trying to
control a Scene Responder
that is not powered on
If the INSTEON device is still available,
remove it from KeypadLinc or repower it
Perform a factory reset
KeypadLinc doesn't
respond to X10 address
A1 when I first set it up
KeypadLinc ships without an
X10 Address
Add an X10 address to desired button
I'm having difficulty
performing advanced X10
programming
The X10 "MNOP" house and
unit codes were sent in the
wrong order
Don’t hold down the buttons on your X10
Controller too long, to avoid duplicate codes
being sent
The Load is buzzing when
on or dim.
The dimming component
inside KeypadLinc "chops"
the power line sine wave to
reduce the power
The bulb filaments are vibrating. Use rough-
service, 130-volt, or appliance grade bulbs to
reduce the noise
Run KeypadLinc in the "full-on" mode or switch
to a non-dimming KeypadLinc On/Off (relay)
Switch
KeypadLinc is locked up
A surge or excessive noise
on the power line occurred
Pull the Set button on KeypadLinc all the way
out for 10 seconds to air-gap it, then tap back
in
Perform a factory reset
KeypadLinc is getting
warm to the touch
It is normal for wall dimmers
to get warm (KeypadLinc
conforms to Safety
standards)
KeypadLinc will dissipate about 1 Watt per 100
Watts controlled. Using metal junction boxes,
removing insulation around the outside of the
box, or controlling a smaller Load all will help
lessen the heat.
KeypadLinc can turn off
my Responder, but
nothing happens when I
send an On
Responder’s Scene level is
Off
Add Responder to Scene again at desired
Scene on-level
