SELECTING THE BUTTON’S MODES: Toggled or Non-Toggled
The buttons on the pad can be programmed in one of two ways:
Toggled Mode
In this mode, the keypad can send
two different commands on alternate presses
.
For example, pressing a button when the indicator light is off will cause an ON signal
to be sent. If the indicator light is on, the keypad will send an OFF signal when
pressed. Additionally, the button’s light will reflect the status of that address. If
another transmitter sends an X10 signal corresponding to a button on the keypad,
the light will come on if the signal contains an ON, BRIGHT or ALL LIGHTS ON
command. If the address received contained an OFF or ALL UNITS OFF command,
the light will turn off. If the button was defined as an Appliance, the keypad will
ignore the ALL LIGHTS ON for that address.
Please note that most X10 modules only receive X10 signals and don't transmit
anything. If you have a device that can be activated manually at the module, then
that action would not be sent to the KeypadLinc (because the module can't
transmit). It is possible for KeypadLinc's indicators to become out of sync with the
true status of X10 modules. For example, if you turned on a "receiver-only" wall
switch, the indicator light on the KeypadLinc would not come on because most wall
switches can't transmit. If you need the modules to transmit when manually
activated, check out Smarthome's 2-Way modules like SwitchLinc 2-Way, ToggleLinc
2-Way, and LampLinc 2-Way plug-in modules.
Non-Toggled Mode
The button will
always send the same X10 signal each time it is pressed
. The
signal sent can be made up of the following:
Type
Examples
Address & Command
(A-1, A-ON)
One Address
A-1
One Command
(ALL LIGHTS ON), (DIM), (Bright), (ON)
Two Addresses
(A1, A2)
Two Commands
(E-ALL UNITS OFF, F-ALL UNITS OFF)
In the Non-Toggled Mode, the lights under each button will not light up after the
button is pressed or when an X10 signal for that button is received. The light will
only blink momentarily when the keypad is transmitting the X10 signals.
Entering Setup Mode
1. To enter Setup Mode, push and hold ANY 2 buttons for at least 5 seconds. When
you see that all of the lights under the buttons are blinking, release the buttons.
2. All of the button lights will blink on and off every second when in Setup Mode.
3. The KeypadLinc allows approximately 30 seconds for setup. After that time, the
KeypadLinc will turn off the blinking lights and return to its normal state.
Proceed to the button programming instructions on the next page.

Non-Toggle Mode Button Programming: (cont...)
Special Case: BRIGHT/DIM of Last Button Pressed
The KeypadLinc can send BRIGHT or DIM signals for the last unit code sent from
another button on the KeypadLinc, regardless of the House Code.
1. Enter the Setup Mode (by holding any two buttons for 5 seconds).
2. Press the button to be programmed.
3. Make sure the button is in the Non-Toggle mode by observing the button’s light; it
should be
constantly lit
. If it isn’t, press the button a second time.
4. Send A1 to indicate One Address/Command.
5. Send BRIGHT or DIM (the controller can be set to any house code).
6. The button’s light will turn off and the button is programmed!
Setting Scenes for Smarthome Scene-Enabled Products
In the previous section setup, a button could be defined to activate a scene using
scene-enabled Smarthome switches and plug-in modules. The button can also be
used to help in setting up the scene's programming.
1. Push and hold the button for setting up the scene for 3 seconds.
2. The button will begin to blink and send the Scene Clear sequence. The button
light will continue to blink and remain in scene setup mode for 4 minutes.
3. Adjust the lighting level of each scene-enable switch or module to the desired
level.
4. Return to the KeypadLinc and push the blinking button.
5. The KeypadLinc will send the command sequence to lock-in the scene. The
button will stop blinking and the KeypadLinc will be ready to use.
6. The Smarthome scene-enabled units that were enrolled in that scene will
momentarily blink their lights (if they are still on).
For more information on how scenes work, please refer to the section, "Scene
Address Programming" in the product’s owner's manual.
Hints For a Cool Scene Controller:
Program two buttons to control the scene’s brightness level.
Set one to send DIM signals and the other to send BRIGHT signals when pressed.
This way after you activate the scene, you can fine-tune the overall lighting level by
pressing buttons to brighten or dim the room.
Program one button as an ALL OFF scene.
Enter the Setup Mode and adjust the brightness on all the SwitchLincs and
LampLincs to 0% brightness or set them to OFF.
Use Groups to display the current scene on the KeypadLinc. Up to four buttons can
be part of a Group. See “Setting Up Groups” to learn more.
