2470D Manual

Since its inception in 2005, INSTEON^® has become the best-selling wireless home-control networking technology, offering more reliability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market. Developed by SmartLabs^®, INSTEON technology relies on its dual-mesh network to send signals both through the air (RF, or radio frequency) and over the existing electrical wires (power line) in the home.

Reliable
With every INSTEON device being a repeater (see how this works), the signal gets stronger with every INSTEON device you add to your home, giving you unsurpassed reliability. In addition, each INSTEON message contains error detection, so lights turning on accidentally will virtually never happen.

Fast
Other home automation networks have a noticeable delay when turning on a light or activating an appliance. INSTEON messages get through in less than 0.05 seconds - faster than the human eye can detect, so there are not visible delays. Activate an INSTEON switch and the lights turn on instantly.

X10 Ready
If you've already started putting together an X10 home control network, INSTEON's backward compatibility with X10 devices provides a painless upgrade path to an INSTEON network for the ultimate home automation system. Get the reliability and speed you need without scrapping your existing X10 network.

Affordable
While other home automation systems extend into the thousands of dollars to install and implement, a complete INSTEON system costs a fraction of its competitors. INSTEON can be integrated into any number of products easily and at a very low cost, so it will impact your life a whole lot more than it will impact your wallet.

Common Applications:

Scene and remote control lighting
Security alarm interfaces and sensors
Home sensors (e.g., water, humidity, temperature)
Access control (e.g., door locks)
Heating and cooling (HVAC) control and management
Audio-video control
Appliance management
Energy savings

How INSTEON Works

What makes INSTEON the most reliable home automation network is its dual-mesh network. INSTEON devices use both radio frequency signals and the home's existing wiring to talk to each other. Every message is confirmed as it is received, and if any errors are detected, the message is automatically resent.

Unlike all other mesh networks, INSTEON's mesh netowrk has every INSTEON device acting as a repeater -- receiving and sending every message to all other devices in the network. So instead of stressing the network by adding more INSTEON devices, you actually strengthen it (see how this works). Other mesh networks use router tables, and only those products involved in routing the signal act as repeaters - resulting in a less reliable network.

No central controller or networking setup is required. Once your module is installed, just use a series of button presses or taps to Link your devices together. INSTEON devices can act as a Controller, Responder, or both!

Most importantly, INSTEON networks are extremely secure. Each INSTEON device is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, so unless neighbors or would-be hackers have access to your particular device's INSTEON ID, they won't be able to control your home, even if they are using similar products.

Technology Comparison

INSTEON: Moderately priced, highly reliable dual-mesh RF & power line technology
UPB: Expensive single-band technology
X10: Inexpensive but lacks the robustness, flexibility and reliability required by home-control applications
ZigBee & Z-Wave: Single-band (RF-only) wireless networks that require a network controller

Tools You Will Need

A flathead screwdriver to remove the faceplate from the switch junction box
A Phillips screwdriver for the screws that hold the INSTEON device in its junction box
A wire cutter and stripper if the switch you are replacing requires you to cut the wires to remove them
A small Phillips screwdriver if you will be changing the color of the trim frame and paddle

A Helpful Tool – Voltmeter or Voltage Tester

During the installation of INSTEON devices, it may be necessary to identify the wires inside the junction box. Knowing for sure which wire is the LINE (sometimes called HOT) can reduce the guesswork when installing a single switch, and it is absolutely necessary when working with multi-way lighting circuits. A voltmeter is ideal for this application. Many of the digital models can also read current so you can measure how much power is being drawn by the switch’s load.

A simpler measurement tool, available at most home improvement centers, is a voltage sensor. This device, often costing less than $20, can sense voltage when placed near a wire. The tip of the voltage sensor can tell if voltage is on the wire without touching the bare copper conductor or breaking the insulation. When using these tools, be certain to read and understand the safety instructions. Often when these tools are used, the power to the circuit will need to be turned on. When working around live electrical wires, take your time and concentrate on the task.

Preparing to Install SwitchLinc Dimmer

CAUTION!

Read and understand these instructions before installing, and retain them for future reference.

SwitchLinc Dimmer 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. SwitchLinc is not designed, nor approved for use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use SwitchLinc on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.

Prior to installing SwitchLinc, please review the entire installation procedure and take the following precautions:

Do not use SwitchLinc to control an electrical outlet, because non-dimmable or inductive devices may be plugged into it
SwitchLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the rear of SwitchLinc has adequate ventilation by clearing away excess insulation.
Use indoors or in a properly insulated and weatherproof electrical box only
SwitchLinc requires a small amount of power to operate, which it receives from a connection to the NETURAL electrical wire (usually white). If you are replacing a standard mechanical switch with SwitchLinc, the switch you are replacing will normally not have a connection to the NEUTRAL wire. However, most junction boxes will contain a NEUTRAL wire that you can connect SwitchLinc to. If your junction box does not contain a NEUTRAL wire that you can connect SwitchLinc to, please call Smarthome Tech Support or consult an electrician.
Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to SwitchLinc

IMPORTANT!

If you are not knowledgeable about and comfortable with electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install SwitchLinc for you. If you have any questions, please consult an electrician or call:

Installing SwitchLinc Dimmer

At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all the circuits in the switch junction box. Verify that power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches.
Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch you are replacing and pull it out from the junction box
Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½ inch of insulation off the ends.
Follow the diagram below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the diagram, be sure you have identified the wires correctly before connecting them.
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
Orient SwitchLinc with the LED bar at the left, gently place it into the junction box, and then screw it into place
Turn the circuit breaker back on or re-install the fuse
After the bottom LED in the LED bar comes on, test that SwitchLinc is working properly by turning the light on and off
Reinstall the faceplate

NOTE: The NEUTRAL wire will not normally be connected to the switch you are replacing. If there is no NETURAL wire in the junction box, please consult an electrician or call:

About On-Levels and Ramp Rates

The On-Level is the brightness that the light you are controlling will go to when you turn it on. The On-Level is adjustable from off to 100% brightness. The default is 100%.

The Ramp Rate sets the time it will take for the light you are controlling to go from off to the On-Level brightness, or from the On-Level brightness to off. This time is adjustable from 0.1 to 9 seconds to ramp between full-on and full-off. The default is 0.5 seconds.

You establish an On-Level and a Ramp Rate by first setting them up and locking them in. You can set up a Ramp Rate or On-Level in any order (but it is recommended to set the Ramp Rate first). When you do the lock-in, the currently-set Ramp Rate and On-Level are locked in together.

Setting the On-Level with SwitchLinc Dimmer

The On-Level is the brightness that the light you are controlling will go to when you turn it on. The On-Level is adjustable from off to 100% brightness. The default is 100%.

To set the SwitchLinc On-Level

Use the paddle to adjust the light to the desired brightness
- Press & hold the paddle top to brighten the light. Release at the desired brightness.
- Press & hold the paddle bottom to dim the light. Release at the desired brightness.
Once the desired brightness has been achieved, tap the Set button on SwitchLinc once

The light wired to SwitchLinc will flash once
Test the On-Level settings by pressing the SwitchLinc paddle on, and then off

If you are setting an On-Level to SwitchLinc for the first time, you will need to set the On-Level twice.
SwitchLinc is programmed to lock in at full-brightness the very first time an On-Level is set. After the initial On-Level setup, you will be able to lock in the On-Level at any brightness level.

NOTE: If SwitchLinc is blinking its Status LED, you held the Set button down too long. Holding down the Set button for 3 seconds is an alternate way to place SwitchLinc into Linking Mode.
Linking Mode will time out after 4 minutes of inactivity. To manually exit Linking Mode, tap any the paddle top or bottom.

Setting the Ramp Rate with SwitchLinc Dimmer

The Ramp Rate sets the time it will take for the light you are controlling to go from off to the On-Level brightness, or from the On-Level brightness to off. This time is adjustable from 0.1 to 9 seconds to ramp between full-on and full-off. The default is 0.5 seconds.

To set the SwitchLinc Ramp Rate:

Use the paddle to adjust the Ramp Rate of your light
- Press & hold the paddle top to brighten the light. The brighter the light is during this step, the faster the Ramp Rate will be.
- Press & hold the paddle bottom to dim the light. The dimmer the light is during this step, the slower the Ramp Rate will be.
The table below gives the approximate relationship between the brightness you set and the Ramp Rate you get.
Once the desired Ramp Rate has been achieved, double-tap the Set button on SwitchLinc

The light wired to SwitchLinc will flash once
Test the Ramp Rate settings by pressing the SwitchLinc paddle on, and then off

Approximate Brightness Level	Ramp Rate in Seconds
90-100%	0.1
77-87%	0.2
65-74%	0.3
52-61%	2.0
39-48%	2.0
26-35%	4.5
13-23%	6.5
1-10%	8.5
1%	9.0

NOTE: If the light is ramping to less than full brightness, then the time it will take will be proportionately less. For instance, if the light is going to be half brightness, the time it will take for a given Ramp Rate will be halved.

BE CAREFUL
If the controlled light flashes twice, you didn't double-press the Set button fast enough, and the SwitchLinc On-Level was actually set up twice. Reset the correct On-Level and try the Ramp Rate setting again.

Using the Paddle

The paddle top makes your light go on and the paddle bottom makes your light go off.

Tap the paddle top to make your light turn on at the local Ramp Rate, from whatever brightness it currently has to the local On-Level brightness
Tap the paddle bottom to make your light turn off at the local Ramp Rate, from whatever brightness it currently has to full-off
Double-tap the paddle top to make your light go full-on quickly.
Double-tap the paddle bottom to make your light go full-off quickly.
Press & hold the paddle top to gradually brighten your light from whatever brightness it currently has to full-on.
Press & hold the paddle bottom to gradually dim your light from whatever brightness it currently has to full-off.

Paddle	Tap	Double Tap	Press & Hold
Top	Ramp to On-Level	Fast On	Brighten
Bottom	Ramp to Off	Fast Off	Dim

Using the Air Gap

The "air gap" can be useful for replacing bulbs or any other time you want the controlled circuit to be unpowered without turning off the circuit breaker.

To disable power, pull the Set button at the bottom of the switch out as far as it will go, about 1/8 inch. (It might be helpful to use a small screwdriver.) This will open the mechanical contacts and will remove all power from the INSTEON device and the load that it controls until the Set button is pushed back in. However, because the INSTEON device's settings are stored in non-volatile memory, setup information will not be lost when the unit is unpowered.

To restore power, tap the air gap back into place, until its top is even with the trim frame.

BE CAREFUL: If you press the Set button in too far, you might inadvertently reset the INSTEON device to its factory default settings. Make sure to only push the Set button down so that it is flush with the trim frame.

Restoring Power to SwitchLinc Dimmer

This INSTEON device stores all of its settings in non-volatile memory, so the settings are not lost even when power is removed. In the event of a power loss, this device will automatically return the local load to the level it had before the power was interrupted.

Resetting SwitchLinc Dimmer to its Factory Default Settings

The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the SwitchLinc Dimmer memory and restore its factory default settings. This procedure will clear the unit of any custom On-Level and Ramp Rate.

Gently pull the Set button at the bottom of the paddle out as far as it will go (about 1/8 inch). This "air gap" removes all power to SwitchLinc

The Status LED and the light wired to SwitchLinc will turn off
After 10 seconds, push the Set button all the way down and hold for 3 seconds, then release

A few seconds after you release the Set button, the Status LED and the light wired to SwitchLinc will turn on

Factory reset is now complete. SwitchLinc is now reset to all the default settings and is ready for fresh programming and use.

Paddle and LED Color Options

You can change the color of the Switchlinc Dimmer LEDs and paddle trim frame to match the decor of any room.

SwitchLinc comes standard with a white paddle assembly. You can optionally purchase ivory (#2400I), almond (#2400AL), black (#2400BK), brown (#2400BR), or gray(#2400GY) SwitchLinc Color Change Kits from Smarthome.com.

Light-pipe color change kits for the LEDs are also available from Smarthome.com. SwitchLinc Indicator Color Change Kits (#2400L) are available in blue, red, frosted white or multi-color packs.

Changing the Paddle and LED Colors

You can remove the front paddle and trim frame assembly before or after SwitchLinc is installed. During the changeover process, the power and the Load may remain on and operating. There are no dangerous voltages or unsafe areas under the paddle.

If SwitchLinc is already installed in the wall, remove the faceplate from the switch junction box
Remove the four Phillips screws that hold the paddle assembly to the metal frame
Pull the entire paddle from straight away from the switch. You may have to wiggle the bottom of the frame to get it free from the Set button.

Paddle assembly and SwitchLinc body separated

Using a flat blade or needle nose pliers, remove the large light pipe as shown. The light pipe will snap out of the frame. Do the same for the small light pipe.

Snap out the light pipes with a flat tool

Orient the new small light pipe with its protrusion facing toward teh center of the frame and snap it into place. If placed in backwards or reversed, it will not click into place. Refer to the diagram on the right.
Orient the new large light pipe with the side that has the most protrusions facing toward the center of the frame. Using only finger pressure, snap the light pipe into the frame.

Insert the new light pipes with the protrusions facing the center

If both light pipes are installed correctly, they will stick straight out from the back of the frame. If installed incorrectly, they will appear to be tilted as shown in the photos below.

Installed correctly

Installed incorrectly

Gently place the paddle assembly back onto the front of the SwitchLinc module. A little force may be necessary to snap the assembly over the Set button. Reinstall the four screws that you removed in step 2.

Understanding Why an INSTEON Network Is Reliable

INSTEON messages travel throughout the home via power line on the existing house wiring, or wirelessly via RF using Access Points or other dual-band products. As the messages make their way to the INSTEON devices being controlled, they are picked up and retransmitted by all other INSTEON devices along the way. This method of communicating, called a mesh network, is very reliable because each additional INSTEON device helps to support the overall network.

To further ensure reliability, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command. If an INSTEON Controller does not receive this confirmation, it will automatically retransmit the command up to five times.

Further Enhancing Reliability


As signals travel via the power line or RF throughout the home, they naturally become weaker the farther they travel. The best way to overcome signals getting weaker is to increase the coverage of the mesh network by introducing more INSTEON devices. It is possible that some audio-video products, computers, power strips or other electrical equipment may attenuate INSTEON signals on the power line. You can temporarily unplug suspected devices to test whether the INSTEON signal improves. If it does, then you can plug in filters available from SmartLabs that will permanently fix the problem.

Using Dual-Band INSTEON Products to Upgrade Your INSTEON Network

Dual-band INSTEON products, such as Access Points, are ideal for improving signal strength and network coverage throughout your home. Dual-band products simultaneously transmit INSTEON signals to both power phases in your home (RF and power line). Without a reliable method for coupling opposite power phases some parts of your home may receive signals intermittently. With at least one dual-band product plugged into one of the power phases, and at least one more plugged into the opposite power phase, INSTEON signals will be strong everywhere in your home.

Dual-band products also translate RF signals into power line signals, allowing communication between RF-only and power line-only INSTEON devices. While only one properly installed dual-band product is needed to translate signals between the two phases, it is recommended to have at least two dual-band products for the best INSTEON network performance.

About INSTEON and X10

Possible BoosterLinc Interference with INSTEON

If you have installed older SmartLabs Plug-In BoosterLinc^™ X10 Signal Boosters or certain other BoosterLinc-enabled products, the older BoosterLinc technology may interfere with INSTEON communications. Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, SmartLabs (#4827) shipped after February 1, 2005, with V3.0 or later firmware, are fully compatible with INSTEON.

The following Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters use older firmware that may cause interference with INSTEON:

White BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters (#4827) shipped before February 1, 2005, with V2.5 or earlier firmware
All Gray BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters (#4827)

Try unplugging the older BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters to see if this helps with INSTEON interference, If it does, please contact Smarthome Tech Support for help with replacing your older BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters with newer INSTEON-compatible ones.

The following pre-INSTEON SmartLabs products have BoosterLinc technology that you can turn on or turn off when you set the X10 Address for the product. If turned on, the BoosterLinc technology may interfere with INSTEON.

	KeypadLinc^™ 6-Button with Integrated Dimmer (#12073W, #12073WB and #12073WW)
	SwitchLinc^™ Relay 2-Way (#23883 and #23883T)
	ToggleLinc^™ 2-Way Dimmer (#23890) and Switch (#23893)

Note

To disable BoosterLinc X10 Signal Amplification on these products:

Press & hold the Set button
Send the X10 Primary Address
Send an X10 OFF command

You can send an X10 ON command in Step 3 to re-enable the BoosterLinc feature.

If you have any of these products and the BoosterLinc feature is turned on, please consult your Owner's Manual or contact Smarthome Tech Support for help with turning it off.
You may then wish to install newer INSTEON BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, which Smarthome Tech Support can help you with.

How INSTEON Effects X10

If your existing X10 devices seem to be working less reliably after installing INSTEON devices, remember that INSTEON devices can absorb X10 signals just as X10 devices do, and that INSTEON devices do not repeat X10 signals. Installing INSTEON-compatible BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters (#4827), or a SignaLinc^™ Plug-In Coupler-Repeater (#4826), can increase X10 signal levels.
Please contact Smarthome Tech Support if you have any questions or would like more help.

Troubleshooting SwitchLinc Dimmer

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
The LED bar on SwitchLinc is not turning on at all and it won't control my light.	SwitchLinc is not getting power.	Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on.
		Make sure the air gap (Set button) is not pulled out.
		Check junction boxes to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed.
		Check the light fixture to ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed.
The switch I'm replacing only has two wires.	SwitchLinc needs a NETURAL wire in order to operate.	Look in the rear of the junction box for a group of white wires all tied together with a wire nut. Those are the NETURAL wires. Connect the SwitchLinc white NEUTRAL wire there.
The controlled light does not appear to turn on or off right away.	The Ramp Rate may be set too slow.	Set a shorter Ramp Rate.
My light only turns off when I tap the paddle top on SwitchLinc, but I can brighten or dim it.	The On-Level may be set fully-off or very dim.	Set a brighter On-Level. See Setting the On-Level with SwitchLinc Dimmer.
The load is buzzing when on or dim.	The dimming components inside SwitchLinc "chops" the power line sine wave to reduce the power.	The bulb filaments are vibrating. Use rough-service, 130-volt, or appliance-grade bulbs to reduce the noise.
The load is buzzing when on or dim.		Run SwitchLinc in the full-on mode or switch to a non-dimming INSTEON SwitchLinc On/Off Switch.
SwitchLinc is locked up.	A surge or excessive noise on the power line may have glitched it.	Pull the Set button on SwitchLinc all the way out to air gap it, wait for 10 seconds, then push it back in without pushing it all the way down.
SwitchLinc is locked up.		If the above doesn't work, see Resetting SwitchLinc Dimmer to its Factory Default Settings.
SwitchLinc is getting warm to the touch.	It is normal for wall dimmers to get warm (but not hot).	SwitchLinc will dissipate about 1 Watt per 100 Watts controlled. Using metal junction boxes, removing insulation around the outside of the box, or controlling a smaller load can help lessen the heat.
