HOW TO CROSS-LINK MORE THAN ONE SWITCHLINC DIMMER
Cross-Linking in a 3-Way Circuit
The purpose of cross-linking switches allows you to track LED brightness levels as well as on/off levels on
both the primary and secondary switches. For this example we will use a Primary switch controlling the
load and one secondary switch in a virtual 3-way. They will be referred to as: Primary Switch (load
controlling) and Secondary Switch.
Note: If you intend on setting a ramp rate or ON level; this should be done on each switch prior to cross-linking them.
Please refer to the section above on How to set up SwitchLinc Dimmer to remotely control an INSTEON device for
instructions on linking switches
1. Link
Primary
Switch to Secondary Switch.
2. Cross-link Secondary Switch to Primary Switch.
Upon successful completion, each switch in the above scenario will now track both ON/OFF status and
brightness level on the LED bar of the other switches it has been cross-linked to.
Cross-Linking in a Multi-Way Circuit using Multi-Link Mode
For more than two switches, multi-link mode will allow you to save time. For this example we will use a
Primary switch controlling the load and two secondary switches in a virtual 4-way. They will be referred to
as: Primary Switch (load controlling), Secondary Switch 1, and Secondary Switch 2.
1. Primary Switch should be put into Multi-Link mode then link to Secondary Switch 1 and Secondary
Switch 2. Tap the Primary Switch to go out of Multi-Link mode.
2. Secondary Switch 1 should be put into Multi-Link mode then link to Primary Switch and Secondary
Switch 2. Tap the Secondary Switch 1 to go out of Multi-Link mode.
3. Secondary Switch 2 should be put into Multi-Link mode then link to Primary Switch and Secondary
Switch 1. Tap the Secondary Switch 2 to go out of Multi-Link mode.
Upon successful completion, each switch in the above scenario will now track both ON/OFF status and
brightness level on the LED bar of the other switches it has been cross-linked to.
