CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band 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. In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-
Band is not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than single-phase voltages between 100v and 277v with 50 0r
60Hz service. Attempting to use In-LineLinc Dimmer Dual-Band on non-approved power lines may have hazardous
consequences.
Recommended installation practices:
-
Use only indoors or in an outdoor-rated box
-
Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit in which you are installing In-LineLinc
Dimmer. Installing In-LineLinc Dimmer with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
-
The wires connecting In-LineLinc to the incoming power must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of 15 amps or less
-
Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to In-LineLinc Dimmer
-
In-LineLinc Dimmer 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 In-LineLinc Dimmer is as clear of clutter as
possible.
-
Each In-LineLinc Dimmer is assigned a unique INSTEON I.D., which is printed on the device’s label.
-
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use In-LineLinc Dimmer to control no more than
400 Watts of incandescent at 100VAC to 277VAC.
-
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control Loads in
excess of the specified maximum(s) or, install in locations with electricity specifications which are outside of the product’s
specifications. If this device supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive Load, such as a fan or transformer,
could cause damage to the dimmer, the load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not
recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
