Installation
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
OutletLinc is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or the
Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. OutletLinc is not designed nor approved for use on
power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use OutletLinc on non-approved power lines may have hazardous
consequences.
• Use only indoors or in an outdoor-rated box
•
Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing OutletLinc in.
Installing OutletLinc with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
•
Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to OutletLinc
• OutletLinc 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 of OutletLinc is as clear of clutter as
possible.
• Each OutletLinc is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the device’s label.
•
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use OutletLinc’s dimmer outlet to control no
more than 300 Watts of 110VAC incandescent lamps only. Dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could
cause damage to the dimmer, the load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not
recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
•
You will need a flathead screwdriver, a Philips screwdriver and a voltage meter to install OutletLinc Dimmer
Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home
To install OutletLinc, you will need to identify the following four wires:
• Line - usually black, may also be called Hot or Live, carries 110VAC electricity into the outlet
• Neutral - usually white
• Ground - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you.
IMPORTANT: If you are not knowledgeable about or and comfortable with electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician
install OutletLinc for you. If you have any questions, please consult an electrician or call 800-762-7845.
