ADVANCED FEATURES
Enabling/Disabling Load Sensing
Load Sensing allows you to manually turn on the load plugged into ApplianceLinc by using the switch on
the load itself, without sending a command from an INSTEON or X10 controller. When the load is in the
off state (with Load Sensing enabled), ApplianceLinc will “sense” that you are trying to turn it on with its
built-in switch. When ApplianceLinc senses this, it will turn on the load automatically.
CAUTION: With Load Sensing, some loads have been known to turn on ApplianceLinc after you have
turned it off. Please use this feature with caution.
By default, Load Sensing is disabled.

1) Press & hold the Set button on ApplianceLinc until it beeps (3 seconds)
The ApplianceLinc Status LED will begin blinking green
2) Triple-tap the Set button on ApplianceLinc
The ApplianceLinc Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid green if the load is on or solid
red if it is off
3) Test that Load Sensing has been enabled by turning the load on and off from its built-in switch

Disable Load Sensing

Restoring Power to ApplianceLinc
ApplianceLinc stores all of its settings, such as Links to other INSTEON devices, with non-volatile
memory. Because settings are saved in this non-volatile memory, they will not be lost in the event of a
power failure.
In the event of a power loss ApplianceLinc will automatically return the load to the brightness level it had
before power was interrupted.
Resetting ApplianceLinc to its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the ApplianceLinc memory of all INSTEON Links,
programmed On-Levels and Ramp Rates, X10 addresses, etc.
1) If you are using a Controller to control ApplianceLinc, be sure to Unlink it from the Controller. See
Unlinking ApplianceLinc from an INSTEON Controller.
2) Unplug ApplianceLinc for about 10 seconds
3) While holding down the Set button on ApplianceLinc, plug it back in, making sure not to let go of the
Set button
ApplianceLinc will beep and its Status LED will turn on solid green
4) Continue to hold down the Set button for 3 seconds and then release
The ApplianceLinc Status LED will flash red and then turn on solid green
After a few seconds, the load will turn on
