OutletLinc Owner’s Manual ADVANCED FEATURES Enabling / Disabling Load Sensing Load Sensing allows you to manually turn on the load plugged into OutletLinc by using the switch on the load itself, without sending a command from an INSTEON or X10 controller. When the load is in the off state (with Load Sensing enabled), OutletLinc will “sense” that you are trying to turn it on with its built-in switch. When OutletLinc senses this, it will turn on the load automatically.
OutletLinc Owner’s Manual Restoring Power to OutletLinc OutletLinc stores all of its settings, such as Links to other INSTEON devices, On-Levels/Ramp Rates, etc., with non-volatile memory. Because settings are saved in this non-volatile memory, they will not be lost in the event of a power failure. In the event of a power loss OutletLinc will automatically return the load to the brightness level it had before power was interrupted.

OutletLinc Owner’s Manual About X10 Scene Address Programming OutletLinc can be a member of up to 255 X10 scenes. An X10 scene address is just another X10 address like the X10 Primary Address. When an X10 command is sent to an X10 scene address, every X10 device with that address will turn on to its independent On-Level at its independent Ramp Rate (if a dimmable device).
