ADVANCED FEATURES

Restoring Power to IRLinc Transmitter

IRLinc 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.

Resetting IRLinc Transmitter to its Factory Default Settings

The factory reset procedure will clear IRLinc of all INSTEON Links and any programmed X10 addresses.

1) If you are using a Controller to control IRLinc, be sure to Unlink it from the Controller. See Unlinking

IRLinc from an INSTEON Controller.

2) Unplug IRLinc from the outlet for 10 seconds

3) While holding down the Set button on IRLinc, plug it back in, making sure not to let go of the Set

button

4) Continue to hold down the Set button for 3 seconds and then release

A few seconds after you release the Set button, IRLinc will beep and the Status LED will turn on
solid

X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

IRLinc is X10 ready, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands from X10 controllers. However, to
operate IRLinc in X10 mode, you must first set up an X10 address. As it ships from the factory or after a
factory reset procedure, IRLinc will not have an X10 address set up.

Setting the X10 Address

You must complete the following before IRLinc will send out X10 commands. You can use any of the 256
possible X10 addresses for the X10 address.

1) Press & hold the Set button on IRLinc until it beeps (3 seconds)

The IRLinc Status LED will begin blinking

2) Using an X10 controller, send the desired X10 address, followed by the ON command three times

For example, to assign the address A1, you would send “A1 ON A1 ON A1 ON”.

IRLinc will double-beep and its Status LED will stop blinking

Removing the X10 Address

If you are no longer going to control IRLinc with an X10 address, it is very important that you Unlink it,
because otherwise IRLinc will respond to the X10 command and may cause IR devices to turn on by
themselves.

1) Press & hold the Set button on IRLinc until it beeps (3 seconds)

The IRLinc Status LED will begin blinking

2) Using an X10 controller, send the X10 address you would like to remove followed by the OFF

command three times

For example, to remove X10 address A1, send “A1 OFF A1 OFF A1 OFF”.

IRLinc will double-beep and its Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid
