Using OutletLinc as a Responder

 

1) 

Make sure the load is on. If the load is not on, unplug it from OutletLinc and then plug it back in.  

The load should turn on and the OutletLinc Status LED should turn on solid green

 

2) 

Set the Controller to Linking Mode*. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for 10 seconds or the 
Set button for 3 seconds.) 

3) 

Press & hold the Set button on OutletLinc until it double-beeps (3 seconds) 

The OutletLinc Status LED should flash once, and then turn on solid green  

4) 

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

OutletLinc should respond appropriately 

 

Using OutletLinc as a Phase Bridger 

OutletLinc can help bridge the phases in your home and allow RF-only devices access to power line-only devices. For 
the best INSTEON network performance, it is recommended that you install at least two dual-band INSTEON devices. 
Search for dual-band INSTEON devices at: 

www.smarthome.com/dualband.  

 
Use the following procedure to test that the phases have been bridged: 
1)  Install additional dual-band INSTEON devices if they aren’t already installed  
2)  Start Phase Bridging Detection Mode* by tapping the Set button on OutletLinc four times quickly 

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

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

If at least one of the 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 the other 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 the 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 behavior  

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

OutletLinc should stop beeping and the Status LED should remain solid green if the load is on or turn solid red 
if it is off
