ADVANCED FEATURES OF KEYPADLINC DIMMER
Restoring Power to KeypadLinc Dimmer
KeypadLinc Dimmer stores all of its settings in non-volatile memory, so they are not lost even when
power is removed. In the event of a power loss, KeypadLinc Dimmer will automatically return the light
being controlled to the brightness level it had before the power was interrupted.
Resetting KeypadLinc Dimmer to Its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear KeypadLinc Dimmer’s memory and restore its factory
default settings. This procedure will clear the unit of ALL INSTEON Links, any programmed On-Levels,
Ramp Rates, X10 Primary Address and X10 Scene Addresses.
3. Before resetting a KeypadLinc Dimmer that has been linked to an INSTEON Controller, be sure to
unlink it from the Controller first. See
Unlinking KeypadLinc Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller
,
above.
4. If you are using KeypadLinc Dimmer to control any INSTEON Devices other than the light it is wired
to, unlink those Devices from KeypadLinc Dimmer. See
Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device
from KeypadLinc Dimmer
, above.
5. Gently pull the SET Button at the bottom of the switch out as far as it will go (about 1/8”). This “Air
Gap” removes all power to KeypadLinc Dimmer.
6. After 10 seconds, push the
SET Button
all the way down and hold for 3 seconds, then let up.
7. A few seconds after you let up on the SET button, KeypadLinc Dimmer will turn the light it is wired to
fully ON, indicating that the factory reset is complete. KeypadLinc Dimmer is now reset to all the
default settings and ready for fresh programming and use. Keypads purchased as six button will
reset to six button and KeypadLinc modules purchased as eight button will reset to eight button
mode.
Toggle Mode
Buttons can be configured to act in toggle mode, where successive presses of the same button alternate
on and off commands, or non-toggle mode, where repeated presses of the same button always send the
same state command (ON or OFF). Buttons default to toggle mode. To alternate between toggle, non-
toggle OFF mode, and non-toggle ON mode press and hold then release the desired button three times:
the first press should last 10 seconds, the second and third presses should be held for 5 seconds each.
Performing this procedure will rotate the button between toggle, non-toggle OFF, and non-toggle ON. For
example, if you want a button to always send the OFF command, press and hold the button to program
for 10 seconds and then release, the button should start to flash. Then press and hold the same button
for 5 seconds then release, the LED should flutter and then return to blinking, Press and hold the same
button a third time for 5 more seconds, the LED should turn off and be in the non-toggle OFF mode.
NOTE
Note:
Unless they have been unlinked, INSTEON Devices that have been previously linked to
KeypadLinc Dimmer will still respond to paddle presses, even after a factory reset. The reason is
that the INSTEON Devices themselves have not been unlinked from KeypadLinc Dimmer. Follow
the procedure
Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from KeypadLinc Dimmer
, above, to unlink
individual INSTEON Devices.
