seconds or the Set button for 3 seconds.) 

2)  Press & hold the paddle top on SwitchLinc until it beeps (10 seconds) 

The load should flash and the SwitchLinc Status LED should flash once, and then turn on solid  

3)  Confirm that Linking was successful by tapping the button you just Linked to on the Controller  

SwitchLinc should respond appropriately

2)  At the Responder, set it to the state you wish to activate from SwitchLinc 
3)  Press & hold the Responder’s Set button for 3 seconds

Gradateurs commandant une lampe a filament de tungstene – afin de reduire le risque de surchauffe et la possibilite 
d’endommagement a d’autres materiels, ne pas installer pour commander une prise, un appareil a moteur, une lampe flourescente 
ou un appareil alimente par un transformateur. 

Using SwitchLinc to Bridge Phases 

SwitchLinc can help bridge the phases in your home like an Access Point, allowing RF-only devices (e.g., RemoteLinc) 
access to power line-only devices (e.g., ApplianceLinc). For the best INSTEON network performance, it is 
recommended that you install at least two dual-band INSTEON products. Search for dual-band INSTEON products at 

http://www.smarthome.com/dualband

Use the following procedure to test that the phases have been bridged: 
1)  Install a second dual-band INSTEON device if you don’t already have one installed 
2)  Start Phase Bridging Detection Mode* by tapping the Set button on SwitchLinc four times quickly 

SwitchLinc should begin beeping and the LED should be solid  
The load may turn on or flash 

3)  Check the LED behavior of your other dual-band devices to see if they are on the opposite phase 

If at least one of your other dual-band device LEDs is blinking green, or is bright solid white or blue, the device 
is on the opposite phase. Continue to step 4. 

If none of your dual-band devices exhibit the behavior above, they are on the same phase. Try one or both of 
the following: 

  Follow steps 2 and 3 with your other dual-band devices to see if they are bridging the phases 

  Move a dual-band device to another location until it exhibits the desired LED behavior 

4)  Tap the Set button on SwitchLinc to exit Phase Bridging Detection Mode 

SwitchLinc should stop beeping and the Status LED should remain solid if the load is on or turn off if the load is 
off
