Creating a Load Sense Scene
A Load Sense scene allows you to control other INSTEON devices based on the energy level of the device plugged into
SynchroLinc. For example, you could create a scene that turns on your surround sound system when your DVD player (the
load) is turned on.
The scene will be activated when the load turns on. When the load is turned off, all Linked Responders will also turn off. See
the Owner’s Manual for other scene options.
1) At the Responder, set it to the state you wish to be activated from SynchroLinc when the load enters the high power 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 should begin blinking green
3) Press & hold the Responder’s Set button for 3 seconds
SynchroLinc should double-beep and its Status LED should turn on solid green when the load is in its high energy
state and red when it is in its low energy state
4) Confirm that Linking was successfully by turning the load on and off
The Responder should respond appropriately
Calibrating SynchroLinc
1) Make sure the load is off or in its standby state
2) Wait at least 10 seconds, then tap the Set button on SynchroLinc to record the off/low energy state
SynchroLinc should beep
3) Turn the load on, or set to highest energy state
4) Wait at least 10 seconds, then tap the Set button on SynchroLinc once to record the on/high energy state
SynchroLinc should double-beep and its Status LED should turn on solid green when the load is in its high energy
state and red when it is in its low energy state
