ADVANCED FEATURES
Advanced Calibration
SynchroLinc uses a trigger point to determine if the load is in the high or low energy state and send the
appropriate commands. If power consumption of the load is below the trigger point, SynchroLinc
considers the load to be at its low energy state. If power consumption is above the trigger point, the load
is in its high energy state. The trigger point may differ depending on how SynchroLinc is calibrated.
If the low energy state is locked in first during Calibration Mode (as described in Calibrating SynchroLinc),
SynchroLinc will set the trigger point at 25% above the low energy level. However, if the high energy state
is locked in first, the trigger point will be set at 25% below the high energy level.
For example, if the low energy state is locked in first at 0 Watts and the high energy state is locked in
second at 100W, the trigger point will be set at 25W.
If the high energy state is locked in first at 100W and the low energy state is locked in second at 25W, the
trigger point will be set at 75W.
NOTE: Trigger point can be manually adjusted when used with INSTEON home automation software,
such as HouseLinc 2.
Using a Second Load Sense Scene with SynchroLinc
As an advanced feature, SynchroLinc is capable of storing two scenes, referred to as Scenes 1
(described in Creating a Load Sense Scene with SynchroLinc) and 2.
• Scene 1 is activated when the load reaches its high energy state
NOTE: Without Scene 2 set up, all Linked Responders will turn off when the load reaches its low
energy state.
• Scene 2 is activated when the load reaches its low energy state
Depending on how you plan to use SynchroLinc, you might need to set up both scenes. For example, you
might want your lights to dim from full-bright to 50% brightness when your DVD player turns on (Scene 1),
and return to full-bright when your DVD player turns off (Scene 2).
See Linking SynchroLinc to an INSTEON Responder to Link Scene 1.
To Link to Scene 2:
1) At the Responder, set it to the state you wish to be activated from SynchroLinc when the load
reaches its low energy state (turn it on if you wish it to be on or off if you wish it to be off when
SynchroLinc activates the scene, set brightness levels, etc.)
2) Set SynchroLinc to Linking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button until it beeps (3 seconds)
The SynchroLinc Status LED will begin blinking green
3) Set SynchroLinc to Unlinking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button until it beeps again (3
seconds)
The SynchroLinc Status LED will begin blinking red
4) Press & hold the Set button until it beeps a third time (3 seconds)
The SynchroLinc Status LED will begin blinking green
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.
5) Press & hold the Responder’s Set button for 3 seconds
SynchroLinc will double-beep and its Status LED will turn on solid green when the load is in its
high energy state and red when it is in its low energy state
6) Confirm that Linking was successful by turning the load on and off
The Responder will respond appropriately
7) If you wish to Link additional devices to Scene 2, repeat steps 1-6 with each additional Responder
