SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual WHAT IS INSTEON?

INSTEON systems are simple, reliable, and affordable. Simple, because each device takes mere minutes to install. Reliable, because every INSTEON device works as a network repeater, ensuring your commands will not be lost.

SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual USING SYNCHROLINC IN A LOAD SENSE SCENE Creating a Load Sense Scene with SynchroLinc A Load Sense scene allows you to control other INSTEON devices based on the energy level of the load. For example, you could create a scene that turns on your surround sound system when your DVD player (the load) is turned on. The scene will be activated when the load reaches its high energy state. When the load reaches the low energy state, all Linked Responders will also turn off.
SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual ADVANCED FEATURES Advanced Calibration SynchroLinc uses a trigger point to determine if the load is in the high or low energy state and send the appropriate commands. If power consumption of the load is below the trigger point, SynchroLinc considers the load to be at its low energy state. If power consumption is above the trigger point, the load is in its high energy state. The trigger point may differ depending on how SynchroLinc is calibrated.

SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual ABOUT INSTEON Using Dual-Band INSTEON Devices to Upgrade Your Network What are phases? The majority of single-family homes in North America have two phases (or “legs”) of 110 Volts coming into their electricity panels. From the panel, they are distributed throughout the home, providing power to outlets and wall switches. These phases come together in some parts of the home to provide 220 Volts of power to large appliances, such as an electric oven or pool pump.
SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual TROUBLESHOOTING Problem The Status LED on SynchroLinc is not turning on at all. Possible Cause SynchroLinc may not be getting power. The Responder might have been reset without Unlinking SynchroLinc from it. SynchroLinc and the Responders may be on opposite power line phases. Responders are not being controlled after I’ve created a Load Sense scene with SynchroLinc. The INSTEON signal may be too weak.
SynchroLinc Owner’s Manual Additional Troubleshooting with HouseLinc 2: Problem HouseLinc 2 is not recognizing SynchroLinc or it lists it as a “PowerLinc Modem”. Possible Cause Solution SynchroLinc might have been added to HouseLinc 2 too soon. It needs to be powered for at least 20 seconds before HouseLinc 2 will recognize it. Delete the PowerLinc Modem from HouseLinc 2 and unplug SynchroLinc. Wait at least 10 seconds and then reinstall SynchroLinc.
