If you skip linking now, you can link
later using Five-Tap linking.

Link First Locate the Hole
Installation
As installing Door Sensor obscures its
set button, perform any linking now
before you install the sensor.
For linking instructions, turn to Page 9.
Find a location for Door Sensor in
either the hinge-side of the door frame
or the hinge-side of the door itself.
Higher is better for wireless range but
low will still work.
Clean out any wood shavings with a
vacuum and test t the sensor. When
ready, insert the sensor into the hole
and fasten with the included screw.
Place masking tape over any surfaces
that may be marred by the drill chuck
and drill a 4-inch deep, ¾-inch diameter
hole. If drilling into the door, have an
assistant hold the door steady.

Using the Spacer
If the gap between your door and door
frame is too wide to depress the contact
plunger, try using the spacer.
Slide the spacer over Door Sensor to
increase the thickness of the collar. Fasten
with the screw provided.

Insteon devices can stand alone and function as a local switch or dimmer,
but their real power comes when they are connected together to form a
control system. Most Insteon devices can control one another and be the
recipient of control. The process of associating multiple Insteon devices to
one another is called Linking.

Local Programming
Local Programming Features
Linking Mode Readies the module for linking to another Insteon module. As linking is directional,
the rst device placed into linking mode will become the controller in the controller/
responder relationship. The second device will become the responder. The device
automatically exits linking mode after a link has been made with another Insteon device.
Multi-Linking Mode Readies the module for linking to multiple Insteon modules. The module will remain in
linking mode for 4 minutes or until the module’s set button is tapped. This mode is very
usefully for manually creating scenes.
Unlinking Mode Allows the removal of links from the Insteon module. The device will automatically exit
unlinking mode after a link has been removed from another Insteon device.
Multi-Unlinking Mode Allows the removal of multiple links from the Insteon module. The device will stay in
unlinking mode for 4 minutes or until the device’s set button is tapped.
