SwitchLinc V2 Relay User’s Guide
Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from SwitchLinc Relay
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Device that has previously been linked to SwitchLinc
Relay, it is very important that you unlink it, because otherwise SwitchLinc Relay will retry any commands
intended for the unused INSTEON Device, thus slowing down your system.
1. Set SwitchLinc Relay to
Linking Mode
by pressing and holding the
Paddle Top
for 10 seconds until
the top LED in the LED Bar begins blinking slowly and the controlled light flashes.
2. Set SwitchLinc Relay to
Unlinking Mode
by pressing and holding the
Paddle Top
again
for 10
seconds until the controlled light flashes again.
3. Follow the same method given above that you used to link your INSTEON Device to unlink it. On
most INSTEON Devices, you just push an
ON Button
for 10 seconds or a
SET Button
for 3 seconds.
4. Go back to the SwitchLinc Relay that you placed in Unlinking Mode. If linking was successful, the top
LED in its LED Bar will not be blinking but will remain steadily on.
Creating an INSTEON Scene
INSTEON Scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button. INSTEON
Scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one INSTEON Device to SwitchLinc Relay. Then,
when you press either the Paddle Top or Paddle Bottom on SwitchLinc Relay, all of the INSTEON
Devices linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple INSTEON Devices to multiple
of INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional INSTEON Device to a scene controlled by SwitchLinc Relay, simply follow the same
procedure as above in
Linking SwitchLinc Relay to a Controlled INSTEON Device
. To remove an
INSTEON Device from a scene, see
Unlinking a Controlled INSTEON Device from SwitchLinc Relay
TIP
You can avoid having to hold SwitchLinc Relay’s Paddle Top down for 10 seconds for each INSTEON
Device in a scene by placing SwitchLinc Relay in
Scene Setup Mode
, also called
Multilink Mode
.
1. Set SwitchLinc Relay to Scene Setup Mode by
pressing and holding the
Paddle Top
for 10
seconds, then pressing the
SET Button
at the
bottom of the paddle. SwitchLinc Relay’s top
LED in the LED Bar will blink slowly.
2. Follow the linking method given above for the INSTEON Device you want to include in the scene.
On most INSTEON Devices, you just push an ON Button for 10 seconds or a SET Button for 3
seconds. SwitchLinc Relay will flash its controlled light to confirm linking, and the top LED in its
LED Bar will continue to blink slowly.
3. On some INSTEON Devices, you may be able to set up additional features, such as On-Levels or
Ramp Rates at this time.
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON Devices you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON Devices to SwitchLinc Relay, complete Scene Setup by
pressing the
Paddle Top
(actually,
any
button press will terminate Scene Setup). The top LED in
SwitchLinc Relay’s LED Bar will stop blinking and remain steadily on. You have about 4 minutes
of inactivity before SwitchLinc Relay’s Scene Setup Mode times out automatically.
