INSTEON Setup
Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Please refer to the other devices’ owner’s manuals
for details.
INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links
Let’s define a few terms.
•
The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a
controller
•
The INSTEON “receiver” is called a
responder
•
The association between the controller and responder is called a
link
Please note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply repeat link setup process “the
other way.” Most INSTEON devices can store hundreds of links. Furthermore, a controller can simultaneously control
from 1 to hundreds of responders using what are called groups and scenes. Each link can have its own properties
(e.g. 50% brightness at a 4-second ramp rate).
Make Ballast Dimmer a Responder
Follow the steps below to create a link, enabling another INSTEON device to control Ballast Dimmer.
1) Use Ballast Dimmer set button to set the load to the state you wish to activate from the controller (turn it on if you
wish it to be on when the controller activates the scene, etc.)
2) Press and hold the scene controller button until it beeps

3) Press and hold Ballast Dimmer set button until it double-beeps
Controller will double-beep

and LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping controller button on and off
Load connected to Ballast Dimmer will respond appropriately
Note:
-
If you wish Ballast Dimmer load to be off when the link is activated (such as for an “all off” scene), turn the load
off in step #2

If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking
