Installation Unbox and read instructions Test linking in the intended location Link with all devices you wish to control Drill a mounting hole and test fit the sensor Install Door Sensor and secure with a screw Oops. Forgot to link a device? See Already Installed Linking.
Installation Link First 1 As installing Door Sensor obscures its set button, perform any linking now before you install the sensor. Locate the Hole 2 Find a location for Door Sensor in either the hinge-side of the door frame or the hinge-side of the door itself. Higher is better for wireless range but low will still work. X X For linking instructions, turn to Page 9. ? If you skip linking now, you can link later using Five-Tap linking.
Using the Spacer Model: 2845-222 ® Slide the spacer over Door Sensor to increase the thickness of the collar. Fasten with the screw provided. Door Sensor If the gap between your door and door frame is too wide to depress the contact plunger, try using the spacer.
INSTEON Links INSTEON devices can stand alone and function as a local switch or dimmer, but their real power comes when they are connected together to form a control system. Most INSTEON devices can control one another and be the recipient of control. The process of associating multiple INSTEON devices to one another is called Linking.
Understanding Linking Links are One-Way When linking INSTEON devices, the links that are created are one-way. Links Remember a Device’s State The current state of the controlled device is stored in the link: On, off or dimmed. NEW NEW 75% ® A B Switch A will turn Switch B on and off but Switch B cannot turn Switch A on or off. X Controllers INSTEON devices that can turn other devices on or off are called controllers.
Understanding Linking Controller-Only Some devices, like sensors, can only control other devices. Responder-Only Some devices cannot control other devices; these devices only receive INSTEON commands. NEW NEW X X ® Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch The Motion Sensor will turn on the Switch but the switches cannot control the Motion X Sensor. Grouping Devices You may want to group together two devices, for example, in a virtual-three way configuration. For INSTEON, this is called Cross Linking.

Troubleshooting Door Sensor won’t link to other INSTEON Devices Your Door Sensor may be out of range of a dual-band INSTEON device or your network may be powerline-only. Try this: • If your INSTEON network lacks any dual-band devices, add a Range Extender or other dual-band INSTEON device near your Door Sensor to bridge the INSTEON RF and powerline networks. • Door Sensor must be placed within 100’ of a dual-band device. Radio interference and building construction may reduce range.
