Installation
1) RF-only devices require at least one dual-band INSTEON device, such as an Access
Point (#2443), for communication. For the best INSTEON network performance, be sure
you have properly installed at least two dual-band INSTEON devices. Learn more about
dual-band INSTEON devices at www.smarthome.com/dualband.
2) Use a screwdriver to remove the cover of the TriggerLinc main case and install one AA
battery (included)
3) Unless the location where you plan to mount TriggerLinc is in direct view of the LED on a
dual-band device, have someone watch the LED on the nearest LED device. Then, hold
TriggerLinc in the location where you intend to mount it and tap its Set button.
The TriggerLinc status LED will flash once
The dual-band device’s status LED will also flash once or twice to confirm that
TriggerLinc is within range
• If the TriggerLinc Status LED doesn’t flash, replace the battery
• If the TriggerLinc Status LED flashes, but the dual-band device’s Status LED
doesn’t flash, TriggerLinc might be out of range. Try moving the dual-band
device to other locations or add additional dual-band devices.
4) When mounting TriggerLinc, ensure the main case and the magnet are as close to each
other as possible. The magnet must be within ½” of the case to work properly. The arrows
on the side of the case and the magnet must also face each other.
Screws or double-stick tape can be used for mounting. Depending on the style of your
door or window, you might need to use the included double-stick tape beneath one of the
pieces to ensure they are at the same relative height.
Note: The included double-stick tape is very strong; you can reduce its adhesion by first
pressing it lightly against a piece of fabric or carpet.
5) Mount the TriggerLinc magnet to the door/window as close to the edge as possible
6) Mount the TriggerLinc case to the door/window trim. If you plan to mount the unit with
screws, remove the battery before mounting TriggerLinc and reinstall after mounting.
7) If you plan to link responders, see Linking TriggerLinc as an INSTEON Controller and
replace the battery cover

uninstalled (or removed)
2) Set the responder to the state you wish to activate from TriggerLinc (turn it on or off, set on-level, adjust brightness, etc.).
3) Set TriggerLinc to linking mode by pressing and holding the Set button for 3 seconds
TriggerLinc status LED will begin blinking
4) Press and hold the responder’s Set button for 3 seconds
TriggerLinc status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid
5) Confirm that linking was successfully by opening and closing the magnet/sensor
Responder will respond appropriately
