Identify Switch Type Before you install DIN Rail behind a switch, you must determine which type of switch you have—latching (the default setting), single momentary or dual momentary—as each is wired differently. If you are using DIN Rail with a single momentary or dual momentary switch, you will program it for the corresponding switch after installation.
Switch Operation Mode By default, DIN Rail is programmed for a latching switch. If you are installing DIN Rail behind a single momentary or dual momentary switch, you must change DIN Rail’s local-control switch operation to single momentary mode or dual momentary mode.
Local Control Operations DIN Rail’s switch operation mode affects how it responds to commands; so it’s important to properly program DIN Rail for the correct type of switch you are installing. DIN Rail on/off buttons function exactly like the top and bottom of your wall switch. Note: LED will blink red for a few seconds if one or more responders do not acknowledge a message.
3) Press and hold set button until it beeps a third time LED will start blinking green 4) Press and hold set button until it beeps a fourth time LED will start blinking red 5) Slowly tap set button once LED will start double-blinking red 6) Press and hold DIN Rail on/off buttons to dim and brighten load to desired brightness 7) Press and hold set button until it double-beeps LED will stop blinking LED will turn green 8) Test by turning switch off and then back on Load will turn on to new local on-level Loc
2) Press and hold set button until it beeps a second time LED will start blinking red 3) Press and hold set button until it beeps a third time LED will start blinking green 4) Press and hold set button until it beeps a fourth time LED will start blinking red 5) Slowly tap set button three times LED will start double-blinking red 6) Press and hold set button until it double-beeps LED will stop blinking 7) Test by turning off and then back on via the local switch Load will ramp off and back on to resume dim l

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on The LED on DIN Rail is not turning on at all and won't control my light Check junction box wires to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed DIN Rail is not getting power Check the light fixture to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed Check fuse to ensure it is not broken.
DIN Rail, it takes a long time for other INSTEON devices it is controlling to respond scene responder that is not powered on If the INSTEON device is still available, remove it from DIN Rail and then re-add it Perform a factory reset The dimming component The load is buzzing when inside DIN Rail "chops" the on or dim power line sine wave to reduce the power The bulb filaments are vibrating.
Phase Bridge Detect Beacon/RF Range Test Dimmer module automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other dual-band devices on the “other phase”). This is only important in 2-phase homes with powerline-only INSTEON products or buildings with both 2- and 3- phase circuits. The phase bridge detect beacon can also be used as an RF range test to see if your devices are within communication range. You will need at least one other INSTEON dual-band device installed.
