7) Turn off power
8) Connect wires as per table/diagram (confirm firm attachments with no exposed wire)
If you are installing SwitchLinc in a multi-gang box next to another switch, you may need to
remove one or both pairs of metal heatsink tabs on the back of SwitchLinc. Note that removing a
pair of tabs will derate SwitchLinc from 1000W to 800W (one pair removed) or 600W (both pairs
removed).
9) With LEDs on left, gently place SwitchLinc into wall box and screw into place
10) Turn on power
SwitchLinc and its connected load will turn on
11) Verify SwitchLinc is working properly by tapping SwitchLinc on
and off
SwitchLinc and its connected load will turn on and off
12) Reinstall the wallplate
Installation – Circuit with 2 Switches (a.k.a. 3-way circuit)
Circuits with 2 switches are called 3-way circuits. Both switches in a 3-way circuit need to be replaced by
SwitchLincs (and/or other INSTEON devices).
1)
Turn off circuit breaker(s) and/or remove fuse(s)
feeding wall boxes (verify that power is off)
2) Pull both switches from their wall boxes (each
switch will have no less than 3 wires)
3) Remove wires from existing switches
4) Make sure wires are safely separated from each
other and turn power back on
5) Using a voltage meter measure each wire to
ground in both boxes until you find the single wire
supplying 120V (line)
a. We will now refer to that location as Box 1
b. The other box will have the load wire. That will
be Box 2
6) Turn power back off
In Box 1 (Line box)
7) Connect bare SwitchLinc ground to bare ground
wire or ground screw in wall box
8) Connect SwitchLinc white wire to neutral wire(s) in
wall box (usually white)
9) Using a wire nut, cap SwitchLinc red wire.
10) Connect SwitchLinc black wire to Line wire in wall
box (usually black) along with one traveler wire
running between boxes. (preferably black) Note
color of this traveler – it will carry 120V/line voltage
to Box 2.
11) Cap unused traveler
In Box 2 (Load box)
12) Connect SwitchLinc bare wire to bare ground wire or ground screw in wall box
