What is INSTEON?

INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-n-

Tap™setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well

as radio-frequency for communication. Reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way repeater.

And affordable, not just because of low cost, but because INSTEON also works with legacy X10 devices.

An INSTEON home grows in value with every INSTEON device you add, making life more convenient,

safe and fun.

to remove them.

Caution

Read and understand these instructions before installing, and retain them for future reference.

SwitchLinc Timer is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the

United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. SwitchLinc Timer is

not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use SwitchLinc

Timer on non-approved powerlines may have hazardous consequences.

Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to SwitchLinc Timer. Before installing, disconnect power at the circuit breake

or remove the circuit’s fuse to avoid shock or possible damage to SwitchLinc Timer. It is recommended that a qualified

electrician perform this installation.

Proper installation of at least two SignaLinc™RF Signal Enhancers is required

prior to installing and using other INSTEON devices.

• A flat screwdriver to rem

• A Phillips screwdriver for the screws that hold SwitchLinc Timer in the ju

• A wire cutter and stripper if the switch you are replacing requires you to cut the wires

• A small Phillips screwdriver if you will be changing the color of the trim frame and paddle.

A Helpful Tool – Voltmeter or Voltage Tester

During the installation of Switch the junction box. Knowing foLinc Timer, it may be necessary to identify the wires inside

sure which wire is the LINE (sometimes called HOT) can reduce the guesswork when installing a single switch, and it is

absolutely necessary when working with multi-way lighting circuits. A voltmeter is ideal for this application. Many of the

digital models can also read current so you can measure how much power is being drawn by the switch’s load.

simpler measurement tool, available at most home improvement centers, is a voltage sensor. This device, often

costing less than $20, can sense voltage when placed near a wire. The tip of the voltage sensor can tell if voltage is on

the wire without touching the bare copper conductor or breaking the insulation.

When using these tools, be certain to read and understand the safety instructions. Often when these tools are used, the

power to the circuit will need to be turned on. When working around live electrical wires, take your time and concentrate

on the task.

Preparing to Install SwitchLinc Timer

IMPORTANT!

If you are not knowledgeable about and comfortable with electrical circuitry, you should have a

qualified electrician install SwitchLinc Timer for you. If you have any questions, please consult an

electrician or call

Smarthome Tech Support

800-SMARTHOME

(800-762-7846)

Before installing SwitchLinc Timer, please familiarize yourself with the following and take the necessary

precautions listed here:

• Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are

installing SwitchLinc Timer in. Installing SwitchLinc Timer with the power on will expose you to

dangerous voltages.

• SwitchLinc Timer requires a small amount of power to operate, which it receives from a connection to

the NEUTRAL electrical wire (usually white). If you are replacing a standard mechanical switch with

SwitchLinc Timer, the switch you are replacing will normally not have a connection to the neutral wire.

However, most junction boxes will contain a NEUTRAL wire that you can connect SwitchLinc Timer

to. If your junction box does not contain a neutral wire, please call SmartHome Tech Support at 800-

SMARTHOME (800-762-7846), or consult an electrician..

• SwitchLinc Timer may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved

limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure that the area surrounding the rear of

SwitchLinc Timer has adequate ventilation by clearing away excess insulation.

Installing SwitchLinc Timer

1. For best INSTEON Network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two SignaLinc

RF Signal Enhancers.

2. At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction

box. Verify that power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches.

3. Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch you are replacing and

pull it out from the junction box.

4. Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot be detached by

unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends.

5. If you are installing SwitchLinc Timer into a standard two-way circuit (where only one switch controls

the load), follow the diagram below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and

GROUND wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the diagram, be sure you have identified the

wires correctly before connecting them.

6. If you are installing SwitchLinc Timer into a multi-way circuit (where more than one switch controls

the same load), follow the instructions in the section Installing SwitchLinc Timer in a Multi-Way

Circuit, below, to identify and connect the LINE, TRAVELER, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires.

Installing SwitchLinc Timer in a Multi-Way Circuit

Understanding Multi-Way Circuits

If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (called a LOAD), the switches are part of a multi-way

circuit. A 3-way circuit uses two switches to control a LOAD, a 4-way circuit uses three switches, and so

forth. Most homes have one or more 3-way circuits, with two switches located in hallways, stairwells, or

two different entrances to a room. Less commonly found are circuits that are 4-way or above.

You can use SwitchLinc Relays to replace switches in multi-way circuits that are already wired in, or you

can use them to create virtual multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring.

Here is how a wired-in three-way circuit (with two switches) works:

Using SwitchLinc Timers in Virtual Multi-Way Circuits

In a virtual multi-way circuit, only one SwitchLinc, called the SwitchLinc Primary, actually controls the

LOAD in the multi-way circuit. Any additional SwitchLinc, called SwitchLinc Secondaries, are not

connected to the LOAD, but only to the powerline (by being wired to the LINE and NEUTRAL). All of the

SwitchLinc can communicate with one another using INSTEON networking on the powerline. After wiring

in the SwitchLinc, you create the virtual multi-way circuit by setting up all of the SwitchLinc to control each

other (see HOW TO SET UP SWITCHLINC TIMER TO REMOTELY CONTROL AN INSTEON DEVICE,

below).

To use the timer functions, the SwitchLinc Timer V2 must be connected as the SwitchLinc Primary.

The diagram below shows how you convert a wired-in three-way circuit into a virtual three-way circuit

using two SwitchLinc Timers. Step-by-step instructions for wiring in the SwitchLinc Timers are in the next

section.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Installing Multi-Way SwitchLinc Timers

When replacing a three-way mechanical switch, each switch will have three wires connected to it from the

wall box. Four-way or greater circuits will have four wires connected to the switches in the center of the

circuit. For this tutorial, we will follow the most commonly used wire colors for homes in North America.

1. Find the LINE wire. Your first task is to find out which

switch junction box is the one where the electricity comes

into the circuit. This box will contain the LINE wire

(sometimes called HOT).

a. Turn off the electricity at the circuit breaker panel.

b. Pull all the switches in the multi-way circuit out of their

junction boxes. Each switch should have three wires

connected to it. If the circuit is a four-way or greater,

some of the switches will have four wires.

c. Disconnect the wires from the old switches. If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them,

cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½ inch of insulation off the ends.

d. Making sure that none of the wires are touching anything and that no one is around the wall

boxes, turn the electricity back on.

e. Using a voltmeter or voltage sensor, individually test each wire for voltage. When you measure

120 Volts AC, that wire is the LINE wire. LINE wires are usually black.

f. The other two wires, usually black and red, are the TRAVELERS and go to the next junction box.

TRAVELER wires are usually in the same cable sheath.

g. Turn off the electricity to resume installing the new SwitchLinc Timers.

2. Connect the SwitchLinc Secondary’s LINE Wire. The

SwitchLinc that will be the Secondary goes in the junction

box where you found the LINE wire. Connect the black LINE

wire that you found, the black TRAVELER, and the Black

LINE wire on SwitchLinc all together with a single wire nut.
