Setting On-Level
On-level is the brightness level at which the light you are controlling will turn on. The default on-level is
100%, but is adjustable from off to 100% brightness.
OutletLinc's on-level can be assigned to a controller as part of a scene (see
). The on-level for local control can only be adjusted via software.
Setting the Ramp Rate
The ramp rate is the time it takes the OutletLinc Dimmer load to transition from full-off to full-on (and vice
versa). The default ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 9 seconds (locally at
OutletLinc Dimmer) or 9 minutes (via software such as HouseLinc*), with 32 ramp rates available.
1) Ramp rate is set using the load’s brightness level as an indicator for the ramping speed. Using an
OutletLinc scene controller, adjust the load to the brightness level which corresponds to the desired
ramp rate using this table:

2) Once you reach the appropriate brightness, double-tap OutletLinc’s Set button.

*Note: you may set ramp rates of up to 9 minutes via INSTEON compatible software.

Setting the ramp rate does not change or affect the on-level brightness.

If the load is ramping to less than full brightness, then the time it will take will be proportionately less. For instance, if the load is going to half-brightness, the time it will take for
a given ramp rate will be halved.
