CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or
the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. This product is not designed or approved for
use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power lines may have
hazardous consequences.
Recommended installation practices:
-
Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box.
- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing this product into.
Installing this product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire.
- This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no
hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON I.D., which is printed on the product’s label.
- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control Loads in
excess of the specified maximum(s) or, install in locations with electricity specifications which are outside of the product’s
specifications. If this device supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive Load, such as a fan or transformer,
could cause damage to the dimmer, the load-bearing device or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not
recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home
- Line – carries 120VAC electricity into the wall box, may also be called hot, live or power, commonly black
- Neutral – returns 120VAC to power company, commonly white and in a multi-wire bundle
- Load – connects to light/load device, commonly black and in a separate cable jacket
- Ground – connection to electrical ground, commonly a bare wire, a green wire or a screw on a metal box
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about and comfortable with electrical
circuitry, have a qualified electrician install the product for you.
Tools Needed
- Non-conductive probe - Phillips screwdriver
- Wire cutter/stripper - Voltage meter
Installing In-LineLinc
1) If you plan to configure In-LineLinc using home-management software (such as HouseLinc) or
SmartLinc (2412N), write down the INSTEON I.D. and the fixture in which it’s being installed for
future reference.
2) Turn off the circuit breaker/fuse panel supplying power to the fixture. Check that the power is off
by toggling the load on and off from its local switch.
3) Remove wallpaper from the fixture, unscrew it and remove from the junction box.
4) Disconnect wires from fixture. If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing, cut the wires where
they enter the switch and strip ½” of insulation off the ends. Make sure the wires are not touching
anything.
5) Turn on circuit breaker, then use a voltage meter to identify the Line, Load, Neutral and Ground
wires. Once all wires are identified, turn off circuit breaker again.
