Use Temp Sensor to Control an INSTEON Device

1) Using the screws and template included in Temp Sensor box, mount Temp Sensor in desired location. Hint: Choose a location near an unused outlet.

2) To set upper and/or lower limit arms, first loosen the appropriate lock nut with a 11/32” (9mm) or adjustable wrench. Use a screw driver to set the limit arms and then

retighten the locknut(s).

3) Verify Current Temp Arm indicates the current temperature. If needed, use an 11/32” or 9mm wrench to adjust the Temp Calibration Dial to the correct temperature.

4) Remove the pre-stripped plastic insulation from Sensor Wire and connect red lead to I/O Linc’s “S” (Sensor Input) terminal

5) Connect both Sensor Wire’s remaining leads (black for low limit and green for high limit) to I/O Linc’s “GND” (Ground) terminal (see Figure 1)

6) Plug I/O Linc into an indoor, un-switched outlet

I/O Linc’s Status LED will turn on and Sensor Status LED will remain off

7) If you want the I/O Linc to send an On command when a temperature threshold is reached, adjust High Temp Dial so that it touches Current Temp arm. Otherwise, skip

and proceed to Step 8.

I/O Linc’s Sensor Status LED will turn on if either High or Low Temp arm touches Current Temp arm

8) Press & Hold I/O Linc’s Set button until it beeps (about 3 seconds)

I/O Linc’s Status LED will begin blinking

9) Press & Hold the Set button on your INSTEON responder (the device you wish to control with I/O Linc) for at least 3 seconds

I/O Linc will beep and its Status LED will return to steady On to confirm linking

10) Test by repeatedly moving High Temp arm away from Current Temp arm and back again so that they are touching

Remote INSTEON device should turn On or Off (as arms change between touching and separated)

11) Using a standard screwdriver, adjust High and Low Temp Dials to desired temperature thresholds. If either high or low temperature thresholds are not needed, adjust

corresponding dial to an unreachable temperature

12) Using an 11/32” or 9mm wrench tighten (but not over tighten) locknuts holding the High and Low Temp Dials in place.

Introduction

Increase the versatility of your INSTEON home automation network using I/O Linc -

INSTEON High and Low Temperature Threshold Kit. This kit was designed to monitor

temperatures and alert you via your INSTEON network when an upper or lower temperature

limit has been reached. The temperature sensor is user definable, allowing high and low

temperature thresholds to be set between -30° F to 130° F. The sensor is also flexible

enough to be used to monitor low temperature only, high temperature only, or low and high

temperatures at the same time. Once a threshold has been reached an INSTEON command

can be sent, turning INSTEON controlled lights and appliances on or off. Ideally, you can

link this kit with an I/O Linc - INSTEON Telephone Alert Kit so that you will receive a phone

call if high or low temperature thresholds are reached, allowing you to take immediate action

and possibly save your property and equipment from costly damage.
