HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS AND RAMP RATES
Setting the On-Level and Ramp Rates (Optional)
The
On-Level
is the brightness that the light you are controlling will go to when you turn it on. The On-
Level is adjustable from OFF to 100% brightness. The default is 100%.
The
Ramp Rate
sets the time it will take for the light you are controlling to go from OFF to the On-Level
brightness, or from the On-Level brightness to OFF. This time is adjustable from 0.1 to 9 seconds to
ramp between full-ON and full-OFF. The default is 0.1 second.
SwitchLinc Dimmer can store many On-Levels and Ramp Rates in its memory.
Local On-Level and Ramp Rate
values apply when you tap the Paddle Top or Paddle Bottom on
SwitchLinc Dimmer itself.
Remote-Controlled On-Level and Ramp Rate
values apply when another INSTEON Controller tells
SwitchLinc Dimmer to turn on or turn off. SwitchLinc Dimmer stores
separate
On-Levels and Ramp Rates
for each button on each Controller that it is linked to. These On-Levels and Ramp Rates can all be the
same, or they can be different.
You establish an On-Level and Ramp Rate by first setting them up and then locking them in. Setting an
On-Level and setting a Ramp Rate are always done the same way, but locking them in is different,
depending on what you want the On-Level and Ramp Rates to apply to.
You can set up an On-Level or Ramp Rate in any order. When you do the lock-in, the currently-set On-
Level and Ramp Rate are locked in together.
Setting the On-Level
1. Hold down SwitchLinc Dimmer’s Paddle Top or Paddle Bottom to
adjust the brightness
of the
controlled light to the desired On-Level.
2. Press
the
SET Button
at the bottom of the paddle.
3. SwitchLinc Dimmer will flash the controlled light once to confirm the On-Level setting.
BE CAREFUL
If SwitchLinc Dimmer is flashing an LED in its LED Bar, you held the SET Button down too long.
Holding down the SET Button for 3 seconds is an alternate way to place SwitchLinc Dimmer into
Linking Mode. To exit Linking Mode, tap the Paddle Top.
