USING SYNCHROLINC IN A LOAD SENSE SCENE
Creating a Load Sense Scene with SynchroLinc
A Load Sense scene allows you to control other INSTEON devices based on the energy level of the load. 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 reaches its high energy state. When the load reaches the low energy
state, all Linked Responders will also turn off.
NOTE: To create Load Sense Scenes, you must first lock in the high and low energy states of the load. See
Calibrating SynchroLinc.
As an advanced feature, SynchroLinc is capable of storing two scenes. See Using a Second Load Sense
Scene with SynchroLinc.
Linking SynchroLinc to an INSTEON Responder
Once you have locked-in the load’s energy states, you can Link SynchroLinc to the desired Responders and
complete the Load Sense scene. See your Responder’s Owner’s Manual for more detailed instructions on how
to Link it to SynchroLinc.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) At the Responder, set it to the state you wish to be activated from SynchroLinc when the load reaches its
high 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
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.
3) 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
4) Confirm that Linking was successful by turning the load on and off
The Responder will respond appropriately
5) If you wish to Link additional devices to the scene, repeat steps 1-4 with each additional Responder
Unlinking an INSTEON Responder from SynchroLinc
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Responder that has previously been Linked to SynchroLinc, it is
very important that you Unlink it. Otherwise, SynchroLinc will retry any commands repetitively, thus slowing
down the system.
The following will work on the most common INSTEON devices:
1) If the Responder is a multi-scene device, tap the Scene button you wish to remove control from until its
LED illuminates
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
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Unlinking Mode automatically times out.
4) 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
5) Confirm that Unlinking was successful by turning the load on and off
The Responder will no longer respond
