Most INSTEON devices can control one another and be the recipient of control. The process of associating multiple INSTEON devices to one another is called Linking. 5 Understanding Linking Links are One-Way When linking INSTEON devices, the links that are created are one-way. NEW A B Links Remember a Device's State The current state of the controlled device is stored in the link: on, off or dimmed.

Many device features can be configured using the Programming Wheel. Some devices have more options than others but the programming wheel presents even the most complicated devices with a straightforward, navigable path. Navigation To move right, press and hold the set button To move down, tap the set button X Status LED blinks green Status LED double-blinks green Status LED blinks red Status LED double-blinks red Local Programming Features Linking Mode Readies the module for linking to another INSTEON module. As linking is directional, the first device placed into linking mode will become the controller in the controller/responder relationship. The second device will become the responder. The device automatically exits linking mode after a link has been made with another INSTEON device or four minutes have elapsed without linking. Multi-Linking Mode Readies the module for linking to multiple INSTEON modules. The module will remain in linking mode for 4 minutes or until the module's set button is tapped. This mode is very usefully for manually creating scenes. Unlinking Allows the removal of links from the INSTEON module. The device will automatically exit unlinking mode Mode after a link has been removed from another INSTEON device or four minutes have elapsed without linking. MultiUnlinking Mode Allows the removal of multiple links from the INSTEON module. The device will stay in unlinking mode for 4 minutes or until the device's set button is tapped. LED Allows adjusting the brightness level of the module's status LED. Brightness RF Beacon Places the module in a mode that broadcasts a signal over INSTEON RF. Any devices beeping or displaying a blinking LED are within range of the module's RF signal. Factory Erases any user-customized programming from the device including all INSTEON device links, scenes, Reset ramp rate, on-level, etc. A factory reset cannot be undone. 16 Local Programming Flow Chart Linking Mode Press Unlinking Mode Press ® Press Tap Tap Tap Multi-Linking Mode Select Press Exit MultiUnlinking Mode Select Tap Exit Press Exit LED Brightness Select Press LED Brightness Adjust Press Cancel Tap Tap Tap Exit Save RF Beacon Press RF Beacon Toggle Press Cancel Tap Factory Reset Select Tap Toggle Press Reset Tap Cancel 17 Software-Only Features Most INSTEON devices contain features that can only be enabled, disabled or modified using INSTEON control software such as HouseLinc and an INSTEON PowerLine Modem or the INSTEON Hub. 18 Software-Only Features Beep on Button Press The On/Off Module will beep every time one of its buttons are tapped.

The world's most reliable, expandable and simple home automation and control technology. Link A one way association between a controller and responder Linking A method for associating INSTEON controller buttons with groups of INSTEON responders such that the responders instantly return to a memorized state when the button is pushed. Links can be made manually with the set button or using software. Unlinking The process by which an INSTEON device can remove stored links. Just as with linking, unlinking is a one-way process and should be performed in both directions for devices that are both controllers and responders of each other, as in a 3-way switch scenario. Multi-Linking / Unlinking A special mode that allows more than one link to be either created or removed simultaneously, without laborious set button presses. When in linking or unlinking mode, an INSTEON device will continue to link to other devices until the set button is tapped or four minutes have elapsed, whichever occurs first. Factory A process that erases all stored links and reconfigures the device to factory defaults. Reset Load The device that you are controlling (e.g. a light bulb, ceiling fan, etc.) On/Off A device that can control its connected load to turn on and off but cannot dim. Usually a relay-based device. Retry A 2nd (or subsequent) attempt by a controller to send an INSTEON signal, usually after an acknowledge is not received from the responder in the expected time-slot. Scene Multiple devices respond to memorized states. For example, a dinner time scene turns on the dining table light, dims the kitchen lights to 10%, backyard lights turn off and the thermostat adjusts to 72º. Set Button A button on an INSTEON device that is used for setting or changing its properties Simulcast A method for increasing the reliability of message delivery in a network. When a node in a network sends a message, every other node that hears the message retransmits it at precisely the same time based on a global clock, provided that the message has not already been retransmitted some maximum number of times. Message propagation is more robust because each node adds its energy to the signal, much like voices in a choir. Simulcasting is much simpler than message routing because there are no routing tables to maintain and nodes can join the network without any installation procedure. X10 A legacy powerline networking technology. Many INSTEON devices are backwards compatible with X10 devices by setting a house and unit code. 21 Specifications General Available Colors White Brand: INSTEON FCC ID SBP26352 Industry Canada 5202A-26352 Manufacturer Product No.: 2635-222 Patent No.: Protected under US and Foreign Patents (see www.insteon.com/ patents) UPC: 813922013368 Warranty: 2 years, limited Operation Audio Alert Beeper, can be disabled through software Operation Modes INSTEON only Load Sensing No Local Control Yes Setup Memory Non-volatile EEPROM Status LED Red/Green LED INSTEON Features INSTEON Device Category 0x02 appliance control INSTEON Device Subcategory 0x37 INSTEON ID 1 INSTEON Links 417 INSTEON Messages Repeated Yes INSTEON Minimum Receive Level 10 mV INSTEON Minimum Transmit Level 3.2 Vpp into 5 Ohms INSTEON Powerline Device Yes INSTEON Powerline Frequency 131.65 KHz INSTEON RF Device Yes Maximum Controlled Scenes 1 22 Maximum Scene Memberships 400 Multi-Link Support Yes Multi-Unlink Support Yes RF Beacon Yes Radio Frequency 915.0 MHz Radio Frequency Range 150 feet Scene Commands Supported as Controller On Fast-On Begin Brighten End Brighten Scene Commands Supported as Responder On Fast-On Beep Software Configurable Yes Off Fast-Off Begin Dim End Dim Off Fast-Off Mechanical Dimensions 3.24" H x 2.08" W x 2.02" D 82.5mm H x 53mm W x 51.5mm D Dimming Technology Employed Relay - On/Off only Enclosure Material UV stabilized plastic Mounting Grounded electrical outlet, NEMA 5-15 Operating Environment Indoors Operating Humidity Range 0-90% relative humidity, non-condensing Operating Temperature Range 32º to 104º F 0º to 40º C Set Button Yes Storage Temperature Range -4º to 158º F -20º to 70º C Weight 5.2 oz 23 Electrical Controlled Outlet Yes, grounded.

If the attached load can still be controlled, It is possible that the status LED has been disabled. Try this: · Test On/Off Module in a different power outlet. If the LED illuminates when using a different outlet, check the original outlet for power. Some outlets are controlled by a switch elsewhere in the room. Avoid switched outlets as they disable your INSTEON device when turned off. · If the outlet works and the connected load can be toggled, use software or the programming wheel to change the behavior of the status LED. The status LED brightness can be dimmed to the point that it appears off. HouseLinc allows setting of this device property. Unable to add On/Off module to a scene as a controller or a responder If the device has power, something is likely interfering with the INSTEON signal. Large appliances, power strips and some electronic devices may generate powerline noise. Try this: · Check to see if you have connected On/Off Module to a power strip, surge suppressor, backup battery or AC line filter. These devices often filter out the INSTEON powerline signal. Relocate the On/Off Module to a standard AC outlet. · Large appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners may be generating powerline noise that is disrupting the INSTEON signal. If the issue only appears to happen when one of these large appliances is running, install a noise filter at that device. If you are uncertain of the device generating the noise, disconnect the potentially offending devices from power and test your On/Off Module again. If the issue is resolved, install noise filters at each offending appliance. · Some small electronics devices that include an AC/DC power supply can generate substantial electrical noise, in some cases, enough to disrupt an entire house of INSTEON devices. Search your home for speaker docks, small stereos, etc. and disconnect them from power to perform testing. If removing these devices from your powerline resolves the INSTEON issue, install a noise filter at each offending small electronic appliance. · Your On/Off Module may be too far from another INSTEON device to receive a signal. Try locating the On/ Off Module closer to another INSTEON device and if the issue is resolved, install a Range Extender or other Dual-Band INSTEON device between the intended location of your On/Off Module and the next nearest INSTEON device. The On/Off Module is slow to respond to commands from a controller This issue most likely lies with the controller, not the On/Off Module; the controller is most likely repeating commands not acknowledged by an INSTEON device that has been removed from the network. The repeated commands are slowing down the INSTEON network, resulting in a delayed response from the On/Off Module. Try this: · Consider if you have removed any INSTEON devices from you network that were part of the slow-to- respond scene. If so, the links to these devices need to be removed from the controller. Use software to examine the database of the controller or if you know the modules that were removed, manually remove their links using the standard unlinking procedure. · If you are unable to identify the missing devices, perform a factory reset on the controller. This will remove all links from the controller's database but will also require that you reconfigure the device's scenes and properties. 25 Troubleshooting The connected appliance turned on by itself There must be a device in your INSTEON network that is unexpectedly linked to the On/Off Module Try this: · Use software to examine the On/Off Module's links. If you can identify the stray controller, remove the link. · If you are unable to identify the unexpected controller, perform a factory reset on the On/Off Module. This will remove all links from the module's database but will also require that you reconfigure the device's scenes and properties. Using a controller, On/Off Module will turn off but not turn on Most likely, the On/Off Module was linked to the controller with the load set to Off Try this: · Make sure the On/Off Module's connected load is on and then re-link the device to your INSTEON controller. This link will overwrite the previous "off" link. On/Off Module does not respond to button taps or controller links A power surge or excessive powerline noise may have caused the module to unexpectedly stop responding. Try this: · Unplug On/Off Module for 10 seconds and then reconnect the device to power. Test the local buttons to see if the load will turn on or off. · While unusual, On/Off Module may require a factory reset to restore normal operation. Follow the procedure outlined in the Programming Wheel to reset the device to factory settings. You will be required to reconfigure the device's scenes and properties after the reset. When using the connected load's switch, the load does not turn on Your load may not be receiving power if the On/Off Module is off. Try this: · Use the buttons on the side of the On/Off Module to turn on the connected device. Remember, if the connected load is turned off using its own switch, On/Off Module is unable to control the device. · If your connected load is a lamp, check the bulb. It is possible that your light bulb needs to be replaced. 26 Certifications and Warnings Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
