light with another
controller, the light will
turn on, then back off

with an INSTEON on-level at
a high brightness and an X10
address on-level at a low
brightness

Remove the X10 address from INSTEON
controller

When I press a button on
Micro module, it takes a
long time for other
INSTEON devices it is
controlling to respond

Micro module is trying to
control a responder that is not
responding and may have
been removed

Connect power to the responder

If the INSTEON device is still available,
remove it from Micro module and then re-add it

Perform a factory reset

The load is buzzing when
on or dim.

The dimming component
inside Micro module “chops”
the power line sine wave to
reduce the power

The bulb filaments are vibrating. Use rough-
service, or appliance grade bulbs to reduce the
noise

Run Micro module in the “full-on” mode or
switch to a non-dimming Micro On/Off module

Micro module is locked up

A surge or excessive noise
on the power line occurred

Power cycle Micro module

Perform a factory reset

Micro module is getting
warm to the touch

It is normal for dimmers to get
warm (Micro module
conforms to safety standards)

Micro module will dissipate about 1 watt per
100 watts of load. Using metal junction boxes,
removing insulation around the outside of the
box and controlling a smaller load will all help
lower the temperature.

Micro module blinks green
one time after it is
activated

Micro module supports an
error blink feature. A green
blink indicates that all
responders are
communicating properly

You may disable error blink via software if
desired

Micro module blinks red
one time after it is
activated

Micro module supports an
error blink to let you know
that a responder did not
acknowledge the command
and that there is a lot of
unacknowledged
communications on the
network

Confirm that the responder is powered and
available. If you don’t want this device to be a
responder you can unlink it if available or use
software to remove the link. Once the issue is
resolved, you may disable error blink via
software if desired.

Micro module 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

Micro module still controls
devices even after factory
reset

The responder’s link was not
removed prior to Micro
module factory reset (called a
half-link)

Remove responder from Micro module
