KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual • Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing KeypadLinc in. Installing KeypadLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages. • Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to KeypadLinc • KeypadLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the rear o

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Installing KeypadLinc Schedule Timer 1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction box. Verify that the power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches. 2) Remove the wallplate from the switch you are replacing. Then, unscrew the switch itself and pull it out from the junction box. 3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot b

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Installing KeypadLinc Schedule Timer in a Multi-Way Circuit Understanding Multi-Way Circuits If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (called a load), the switches are part of a multi-way circuit. A 3-way circuit uses two switches to control a load, a 4-way circuit uses three switches, and so forth. Most homes have one or more 3-way circuits, with two switches located in hallways, stairwells, or two different entrances to a room. L

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Using KeypadLinc Schedule Timer in Virtual Multi-Way Circuits Once KeypadLincs have been installed, you can create a virtual multi-way circuit to control a single load. Rather than connect each switch directly to the load, virtual multi-ways use INSTEON messaging to control the load. Two components make up a virtual multi-way circuit: • KeypadLinc Primary – wired directly to the load • KeypadLinc Secondaries – other KeypadLincs in the circuit, bu

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Step-by-Step Instructions for Installing Multi-Way KeypadLincs When replacing a 3-way mechanical switch, each switch will have three wires connected to it from the wall box. Four-way or greater circuits will have four wires connected to the switches in the center of the circuit. For this tutorial, we will follow the most commonly used wire colors for homes in North America. 1) Find the LINE wire. Your first task is to find out which switch junctio

Connect the bare copper GROUND wire to the other GROUND wire in the junction box. 7) Install additional KeypadLinc Secondaries. If you have a 4-way or greater switching circuit, see Special Treatment for 4- or More-Way Circuits at the end of this section. 8) Identify the wires for the KeypadLinc Primary. The KeypadLinc Primary is the KeypadLinc that will actually control the load. In the junct

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Special Treatment for 4- or More-Way Circuits If your lighting circuit includes more than two switches controlling a single set of lights, those extra switches will have four wires connected to them. Two of the wires are TRAVELERS from the preceding switch and the other two are TRAVELERS to the next switch in the chain. You will be converting the black TRAVELER wires to the LINE wires and replacing the old 4-wire switches with KeypadLinc Secondari

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual USING KEYPADLINC SCHEDULE TIMER Using the Buttons to Control Scenes On/Off Buttons The load (device wired-in to KeypadLinc) can be controlled by using the dedicated On/Off buttons. If you wish to include the load in a scene, you must use the dedicated On/Off buttons. Scene Buttons The A, B, C, and D buttons are considered “Scene buttons”, meaning you can use any of the buttons on KeypadLinc to create INSTEON scenes. Each button will control it

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Using the Air Gap 1 Pulling the Set button at the bottom of the paddle out as far as it will go (about / inch) opens mechanical 8 contacts that remove all power from KeypadLinc and the load that it controls. “Air gapping” can be useful for replacing bulbs or any other time you want the controlled circuit to be unpowered. Because the KeypadLinc settings are stored in non-volatile memory, setup information will not be lost when the device unpowere

KeypadLinc Schedule Timer Owner’s Manual Setting the Ramp Rate on KeypadLinc Dimmer NOTE: Setting the Ramp Rate does not change/affect the On-Level brightness. 1) Setting the Ramp Rate is done using the brightness level as an indicator for how fast KeypadLinc should ramp. Use the On and Off buttons on KeypadLinc to set the brightness to a brighter level for a faster Ramp Rate or dimmer for a slower Ramp Rate. 100% bright corresponds to a 0.1-second Ramp Rate and full-off corresponds to
