The Status LED on
LampLinc is not
turning on and won’t
control the load.
LampLinc may not be
getting power.
Make sure LampLinc is not plugged into a
switched outlet that is turned off.
The Controller or
Responder might have
been reset without
Unlinking LampLinc from
it.
Re-Link LampLinc to the Controller or Responder.
The Controller or
Responder and LampLinc
may be on opposite power
line phases.
Make sure two dual-band INSTEON devices are
properly installed to bridge the two power line
phases.
The INSTEON signal may
be too weak.
Add additional INSTEON devices or move around
existing INSTEON devices. All INSTEON devices
act as INSTEON network repeaters.
Large appliances, such as
refrigerators or air
conditioners, may be
producing electrical noise
on the power line.
LampLinc won’t Link
or work with a
Controller or
Responder.
Other electrical devices,
such as computers,
televisions, or power
strips, may be absorbing
the INSTEON signal.
Install a power line noise filter (#1626-10) to filter
electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation.
Unlink any unused Responders from the
Controller.
HINT: If you are using home automation software,
you can easily check scene membership and
eliminate unnecessary Links.
LampLinc is taking a
long time to respond
to a Controller.
The Controller may be
sending commands to a
Responder that is no
longer in use. Commands
for the unused Responder
are being resent and
loading down the signal.
If the above doesn’t work, perform a factory reset
on the Controller.
