Using SwitchLinc as a Phase Bridge
SwitchLinc automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other Dual-
Band devices on the “other phase”). This is only important if you have powerline only INSTEON products
in your home. If you are relying on SwitchLinc to bridge the electrical phases, use the following procedure
to confirm bridging:
1) Tap SwitchLinc set button four times quickly
SwitchLinc will begin (Beeping) once per second
SwitchLinc setup LED will be solid green
2) Check the LED behavior of other Dual-Band devices
a. If the “other” Dual-Band device is blinking Green, it is on the other phase
Device provides a phase bridge to SwitchLinc
b. If the “other” Dual-Band device is blinking Red, it is on the same phase
Device does not provide a phase bridge to SwitchLinc
(move if/as necessary/possible)
c. If the “other” Dual-Band device is not blinking
Device not within RF range of SwitchLinc
Does not provide a phase bridge to SwitchLinc
(move if/as necessary/possible)
1. If the “other” Dual-Band device is exhibiting any other behavior or color, refer to its owners
manual
3) Tap SwitchLinc set button
SwitchLinc will stop beeping
SwitchLinc setup LED will return to steady on
Other devices LEDs will stop blinking
