HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS AND RAMP RATES
Setting the On-Level (Optional)
The On-Level is the brightness that the lamp you are controlling will go to when you turn it on using an
INSTEON Controller. The On-Level is adjustable from OFF to 100% brightness. The default is 100%.
Skip this section if you will be setting the Ramp Rate.
1. Using the ON/OFF Button Pair that you already linked LampLinc Dimmer to, set the INSTEON
Controller to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the
ON Button
of the pair for 10 seconds.
2. Using the BRIGHT or DIM Buttons on the INSTEON Controller,
adjust the brightness
of the lamp
you are controlling to the desired On-Level and tap the
SET Button

SET Button
on LampLinc Dimmer for 3 seconds. Both the lamp you are
controlling and LampLinc Dimmer’s Status LED will blink to confirm the On-Level setting.
Setting the Ramp Rate
and
the On-Level (Optional)
The Ramp Rate sets the time it will take for the lamp 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 0.5 second.

Controller to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the
ON Button

adjust the Ramp Rate
of the lamp
you are controlling. Adjust the Ramp Rate to be faster by pressing the BRIGHT Button, or adjust it to

If the lamp is ramping to
less than full brightness,
then the time it will take
will be proportionately
less. For instance, if the
lamp is going to half
brightness, the time it will
take for a given Ramp
Rate will be halved.
