ABOUT KEYPADLINC On/Off KeypadLinc On/Off (Dual-Band) is an elegant relay switch plus scene controller in one. In the 6-button configuration, the ON and OFF buttons control the connected load (light/appliance). Both the ON/OFF buttons plus the other 4 buttons can all control their own scene members (other INSTEON devices which respond to button presses on KeypadLinc).
Features and Benefits • Easy to setup and use • Integrated 20 amp relay (incandescent loads up to 1800 watts) • Each button can be a scene controller • Each button can also be a scene responder • Each button can control the other buttons on the keypad (as well as remote devices) • Can support up to 400 scenes • Multiple buttons can be included in the same scene • Each button can be configured to: o Toggle between sending Ons and Offs (default) o Always send an On (scene trigger mode) o A

• LOAD (Optional) - usually black or red, feeds power to a connected lighting/appliance fixture. • NEUTRAL - usually white • GROUND - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded) If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you. IMPORTANT! If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with, electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install KeypadLinc for you.
6) After you have connected all of the wires, ensure that all of the wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire 7) Orienting KeypadLinc with the Set button on the bottom, gently place it into the junction box, and then screw it into place 8) Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse panel 9) Verify KeypadLinc is working properly by turning the light on and off 10) Reinstall the trim plate Installation (for a circuit with more
A wired-in 4 or more-way circuit (with three or more switches) has additional switches added in the middle of the circuit. In the diagram below, the additional switch (Switch 3+) is shown in two different positions since wiring can vary from home to home. To learn more about multi-way circuits, try Googling the search terms "3-way switch" or "4-way switch.
Notes: - - One of the TRAVELER wires (TRAVELER 1, Red) is not used, so you will cap it off at both ends The other TRAVELER (TRAVELER 2, Black) you will convert to a LINE wire. In the Secondary KeypadLinc’s junction box, connect TRAVELER 2 to the existing LINE and also to the KeypadLinc Secondary’s LINE wire. In the other junction box at the other end, you will connect TRAVELER 2 to the KeypadLinc Primary’s LINE wire.
between 110 and 120 Volts AC, that wire is the LINE wire (usually black). - The other two wires (usually black and red) are the TRAVELERS and go to the next junction box. TRAVELER wires are usually in the same cable sheath. - Turn off the electricity to resume installation 2) Connect the KeypadLinc Secondary’s LINE wire. The KeypadLinc that will be the Secondary goes in the junction box where you found the LINE wire.
7) Install additional switch/keypad Secondaries. If you have a 4-way or greater switching circuit, see Special Instructions For Large Multi-Way Circuits at the end of this section. 8) Identify the wires for the KeypadLinc Primary. The KeypadLinc Primary is the KeypadLinc that will actually control the load. In the junction box where you will install the KeypadLinc Primary, find the wire that carries power from the switch to the lights. This wire, called the LOAD wire, is commonly red.
1) Connect the KeypadLinc Secondary’s LINE Wire. Use a wire nut to connect both black TRAVELER wires to the KeypadLinc Primary’s black LINE wire. 2) Cap the two unused TRAVELERS. The other two TRAVELER wires (usually red) will not be used, so put wire nuts on the ends of them. 3) Cap the red LOAD wire from the KeypadLinc Secondary. Put a wire nut on the end of the KeypadLinc Secondary’s LOAD wire to ensure that it won’t connect to anything. 4) Connect the KeypadLinc Secondary’s NEUTRAL and GROUND wires.

6) Test the group by controlling the load from Switch A and then Switch B The Load, Switch A and Switch B will all remain in synch Control Groups with more than 2 members Software is recommended for larger control groups. However, the following steps, when carefully followed, will also work.
“Radio” Button Groups (only 1 LED of “n” at a time) This feature is especially handy if you have multiple scenes controlling the same devices, such as Lights Bright, Lights Medium and Lights Off. When you press any of the scene buttons, the “others” LEDs will turn off (as if they were scene responders). Because of their complexity, software is recommended for radio button group setup.
If KeypadLinc in 8-Button Configuration Simultaneously tap the D and E buttons KeypadLinc will beep Keypad’s Beeper will toggle to on (if was off) or off (if it was on) Power Restore KeypadLinc stores all of its scenes, properties, etc. in non-volatile memory. As such, all settings are retained after a power outage. Upon power being restored, KeypadLinc will return its connected load and all LEDs to their states prior to power outage.
Factory Reset Factory Reset clears all user settings from KeypadLinc including INSTEON Scenes, On-Levels, Ramp Rates, X10 addresses, etc.
Problem Possible Cause Solution Large appliances, such as refrigerators or air conditioners, may be producing electrical noise on the power line. Install a power line noise filter (like FilterLinc™ #162610) on the inferring electrical device to filter-out the Other electrical devices, such electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation. as computers, televisions, or power strips, may be absorbing the INSTEON signal. KeypadLinc is taking a long time to respond to a Controller.
Problem Possible Cause Solution The KeypadLinc is turning itself on and off every few seconds. Double check the wiring connection. Be sure of the The Line and Load wires may wires in the junction are correctly connected to the Line, be swapped Load, and Neutral wires.
