In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band Congratulations on your purchase of the elegant, high-quality In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band. In-LineLinc Dimmer installs in-line to provide INSTEON control of individual dimmable lighting fixtures. Additionally, In-LineLinc Dimmer eliminates the need for a conventional light switch, reducing the “switch sprawl” common to automation projects. You can also use In-LineLinc Dimmer for INSTEON signal repeating and phase bridging (like an Access Point, #2443).
Installation CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only.
Installing In-LineLinc Dimmer 1) At electrical panel, turn off circuit breaker(s) and/or remove fuse(s) feeding wall box. Verify the power is off. 2) Remove the fixture’s wallplate, unscrew the fixture and pull it out from the junction box. 3) Disconnect the wires from the fixture and In-LineLinc Wire Wall Box Wires ensure that you have ½” of bare wire on Ground 1 the ends. Bare copper (commonly bare green wire or 4) After ensuring wires are not touching, turn green screw) breaker(s) back on.
Using In-LineLinc Dimmer LEDs LED Meaning Solid green Load is on (at any dim level) Solid red Load is off Blinking green Unit is in linking mode Blinking red Unit is in unlinking mode Fast blinking red and optional blink-on-traffic is turned on Dimmer is off and INSTEON traffic received Fast blinking green and optional Dimmer is on and INSTEON traffic received blink-on-traffic is turned on Using the ON and OFF Buttons The small button switches allows you to test the load and functions prior to
Beeper Behavior In-LineLinc Dimmer features a built-in beeper which aids in programming and can also be used as an indicator via compatible software controllers.
Dimmer to bridge the building’s electrical phases, use the following procedure to activate phase bridging detection mode: 1) Start phase bridging detection mode by tapping In-LineLinc Dimmer’s Set button four times quickly. In-LineLinc Dimmer will begin beeping and setup LED will be solid green. 2) Check the LED behavior of the “other” dual-band devices. a) If it is blinking green, it is within range and not on the same electrical phase. Go to step 3.
Local Ramp Rate The local ramp rate is the time it takes for the light(s) physically wired to In-LineLinc Dimmer to brighten from off to 100% brightness and vice versa. The default ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but it is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 9 seconds locally or up to 8 minutes using software such as HouseLinc. Ramp rate is determined using the brightness level of the load. Refer to the chart below to determine the ramping speed based on the load brightness.

Troubleshooting Problem In-LineLinc Dimmer won’t control the load and the Status LED is not turning on. In-LineLinc Dimmer won’t add to a scene or respond to a controller. Possible Cause Solution Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on. In-LineLinc Dimmer may not be getting power. Check the junction box wires to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed. The controller might have been reset without removing In-LineLinc Dimmer from a scene.
