ADVANCED FEATURES
Enabling/Disabling Load Sensing
Load Sensing allows you to manually turn on the load plugged into ApplianceLinc 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), ApplianceLinc will “sense” that you are trying to turn it on with its
built-in switch. When ApplianceLinc senses this, it will turn on the load automatically.
CAUTION:
With Load Sensing, some lamps have been known to turn on ApplianceLinc after you have
turned it off. Please use this feature with caution.
By default, Load Sensing is
disabled
on product versions 2.0 or higher and
enabled
on product versions
1.4 or higher.

Restoring Power to ApplianceLinc
ApplianceLinc stores all of its settings, such as Links to other INSTEON devices, 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 ApplianceLinc will automatically default the load to off when power is
restored.
Resetting ApplianceLinc to its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the ApplianceLinc memory of all INSTEON Links and
X10 addresses
1) If you are using a Controller to control ApplianceLinc, be sure to Unlink it from the Controller. See
Unlinking ApplianceLinc from an INSTEON Controller.
2) Unplug ApplianceLinc for about 10 seconds
3) While holding down the Set button on ApplianceLinc, plug it back in, making sure not to let go of the
Set button
4) Continue to hold down the Set button for 3 seconds and then release
The ApplianceLinc Status LED will flash once and then turn off
After a few seconds, the Status LED and the load will turn on
