Unlinking SwitchLinc Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller
If you are no longer going to control a SwitchLinc Dimmer with an INSTEON Controller, it is very
important that you unlink it, because otherwise the controller will retry any commands intended for the
unused SwitchLinc Dimmer, thus slowing down your system.
1. Select your INSTEON Controller from the list below and follow the method shown to put it into
Unlinking Mode
.
A.
A Second SwitchLinc Dimmer
– Follow the instructions in the section
Unlinking
a Controlled INSTEON Device from SwitchLinc Dimmer
, above. (Briefly, press
and hold the Second SwitchLinc Dimmer’s
Paddle Top
for 10 seconds
twice
.)
B.
ControLinc
™
Tabletop Controller
– Press and hold the
OFF Button
of the
ON/OFF Button Pair you used for controlling SwitchLinc Dimmer for 10 seconds.
To confirm that it is in Unlinking Mode, ControLinc’s Status LED will begin
blinking.
C.
KeypadLinc
™
– Press and hold for 10 seconds the
ON Button
you used for
controlling SwitchLinc Dimmer, then press and hold the same
ON Button
for 10
seconds
again
. To confirm that it is in Unlinking Mode, KeypadLinc will flash the
light that it is wired to once and begin blinking the ON Button that you pushed.
D.
Other INSTEON Controllers
– See the INSTEON Controller’s User’s Guide.
2.
Press and hold the
Paddle Top
for 10 seconds on the SwitchLinc
Dimmer that is being controlled. To confirm unlinking, the SwitchLinc
Dimmer will blink the top LED in its LED Bar and also the light that it is wired to. Depending
on the INSTEON Controller, you have about 4 minutes to perform this step before Unlinking
Mode times out automatically.
