This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations in the United States or the
Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. This product is not designed or approved for use on power lines
other than 100VAC- 277VAC 50/60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power lines may have hazardous
consequences.
- Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box
- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing this product into. Installing this
product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- The wires connecting Keypad to the incoming power must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of 20A or less.

Page 4 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire
- This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To
minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.
- Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the product’s label.
- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control loads in excess of the
specified maximum(s) or install in locations with electricity specifications which are outside of the product’s specifications. If this device
supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could cause damage to the dimmer, the
load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off
switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
- When mounting multiple-ganged junction box, the Keypad Dimmer is de-rated for 200-watts less for each immediately adjacent dimmer
installed. For example, 600 W load control becomes 400 W with another dimmer to the immediate right or left. Use a triple-gang box
with a mechanical switch in the center to avoid de-rating.

Button Naming
Throughout this manual, we will use the following naming conventions:
Installation – Circuit with 1 Switch
1) Turn off circuit breaker(s) which feed the switch junction box (or remove fuse(s)). Verify that the power is off.
2) Remove trimplate from the switch, unscrew the switch you are replacing and gently pull out from wall.
3) Disconnect wires from switch.1
4) Turn breaker on.
5) Using a voltage tester, identify the Line and Load
wires that are connected to the switch.
6) Identify Neutral and Ground wires.
7) Turn breaker off.
8) Connect wires as follows (confirm firm attachment
with no exposed wire).
1If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends.

10) Turn breaker on.
Keypad’s LEDs will illuminate.
11) Verify Keypad is working properly by turning the light on and off.
12) Reinstall the trim plate.
Installation – Circuit with 2 Switches
Circuits with 2 switches controlling the same load are called 3-way circuits. The most common example of a 3-way
circuit is hallway lighting, with a switch at either end of the hall. To install Keypad in a 3-switch circuit, both switches
need to be replaced by Keypads and/or SwitchLincs.
In this example, we will install a 3-way circuit with 2 Keypads, A and B.
1. Turn off circuit breaker(s) feeding power to either of the switch junction boxes (or pull fuse(s)).
2. Pull both switches out of their junction boxes. Each switch will have 3 wires connected to it.2
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches.3Make sure that the wires are not touching anything.
4. Turn breaker(s) on.
5. Using a voltmeter, test wires from both switches until you find Line (120VAC, usually black).4
Note: the other 2 wires connected to this switch are Traveler wires.
6. Turn breaker(s) off.
7. Connect the Line wire and the black5Traveler wire to the black wire on Keypad A with a wire nut.
8. Cap the other Traveler wire with a wire nut.
9. Cap A’s red wire.
10. Connect neutral to A’s white wire.
11. Connect Ground to A’s bare copper wire.
12. In Keypad B’s junction box, find the Load wire (connects switch to lights, commonly red and will be the only
wire connected to the switch other than the Travelers).
13. Connect the Load wire to B’s red wire.
14. In the same junction box, connect the black Traveler wire to B’s black wire.
15. Cap the other Traveler wire.
16. Connect Neutral to B’s white wire.
17. Connect Ground to B’s bare copper wire.
18. With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypads into junction boxes and screw in place.
19. Turn breaker(s) on.
oBoth Keypads’ LEDs will illuminate.
20. Verify Keypad A is working properly by turning the light on and off.
21. Follow steps on Page 8 to cross-link both keypads so that they both control the load.
22. Reinstall trim plates.
2If switch has 4 wires connected to it, it is part of a 3-switch or higher circuit. See next section.
3If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends
4Only one switch in the circuit was connected to Line.
5If black is not available choose one of the Travelers and make note of its color. Instructions will refer to it as black; if both are black, choose one and use voltmeter to determine which of the
black Travelers in the other junction box you have chosen.

Page 6 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
Installation – Circuit with 3 (or more) Switches
Circuits with 3 switches are called 4-way circuits, circuits with 4 are called 5-way, and so on. All switches in multi-
way circuits need to be replaced by Keypads and/or SwitchLincs).
1. Turn off the circuit breaker(s) which feed power to any of the switch junction boxes (pull fuse(s)).
2. Pull all switches out of their junction boxes. (2 of the switches will have 3 wires connected, the rest of the
switches will have 4 wires connected).
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches.6
4. Make sure that no one will touch the wires and that the wires are not touching anything.
5. Turn breaker(s) on.
6. Using a voltmeter, test wires on switches with 3 wires connected until you find Line (120VAC, usually black).7
Note: the other 2 wires connected to this first switch are Travelers.
7. Turn breaker(s) Off.
8. Wire nut the Line wire and the black8Traveler wire to the black wire on your first Keypad
9. Cap (place a wire nut) on the other Traveler wire
10. Cap the first Keypad’s red wire
11. Connect neutral to the first Keypad’s white wire.
12. Connect Ground to the first Keypad’s bare copper wire.
13. On the other switch with 3 wires connected, find the Load wire (connects switch to lights, commonly red and the
only non-traveler) and connect to the third Keypad’s red wire.
14. In the same junction box, connect the black Traveler to the third Keypad’s black wire.
15. Cap the other Traveler wire.
16. Connect Neutral to the Final Keypad’s white wire.
17. Connect Ground to the Final Keypad’s bare copper wire.
18. For each “middle” junction box (all remaining/4-wire switches):
•Connect the 2 black Travelers to the middle Keypad’s black wire.
•Cap the 2 other Traveler wires.
•Cap the middle Keypad’s red wire.
•Connect Neutral wire to middle Keypad’s white wire.
•Connect Ground wire to middle Keypad’s bare copper wire.
19. With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypads into junction boxes and screw in place.
6If the wires cannot be detached by unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends.
7Only one switch is connected to Line.
8If black is not available choose one of the Travelers and make note of its color. Instructions will refer to it as black; if both are black, choose one and use voltmeter to determine which of the
black travelers in the other junction box you have chosen.

INSTEON Setup
A scene consists of 1 or more INSTEON devices that respond to 1 or more INSTEON controller(s). When the
scene is activated (turned on), all scene members return to the states they were at when the scene was
programmed. INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods at the touch of a button. For example, you
can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with the tap of a
button on any INSTEON controller. INSTEON scenes are easy to set up: just follow the directions below.
Add Keypad Button to a Scene as a Controller
Follow the steps below to control a scene (one or more INSTEON devices) from a Keypad button.
1) Tap the Keypad button of choice (use ON for 6-button Keypads for “main” scene)
2) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button until Keypad beeps
Keypad’s scene button LED will blink and the Set button LED will blink green.
3) Adjust the scene responder to the state you want when the scene is activated from Keypad (e.g., 50%, 25%,
off).9
4) Press and hold the responder’s Set button until it double-beeps (or until its LED/load flashes)
Keypad will double-beep and its scene button and Set button LEDs will stop blinking.10
Responder’s LED will stop blinking and it may double-beep.11
5) Confirm that scene addition was successful by tapping on/off on the Keypad scene button
The responder will toggle between the scene’s on level and off
10 If either the Keypad or responders LED continues to blink, the addition failed. Tap the device’s Set button until LED stops blinking and try again.

Keypad will double-beep and the Set button LED will stop blinking.
Remove X10 Address from a Button
If you are no longer going to utilize an X10 address associated with Keypad, it is very important that you remove its
X10 address. Otherwise, Keypad will still listen for X10 commands (somewhat hindering INSTEON reception) and
may respond to spurious X10 “noise” which is unavoidable. Furthermore, Keypad will transmit an X10 address and
command every time the button is pressed.
1) Tap the Keypad button.
2) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button until it beeps.
Set button LED will blink green.
3) Press and hold Keypad’s Set button again until it beeps again

4) Send the X10 Address plus ON 3 times (e.g. send B5-BON-B5-BON-B5-BON).
Keypad will double-beep and the Set button LED will stop blinking.
Advanced X10 Programming
Instructions on setting X10 primary address and scene addresses can be found online:
http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-x10-programming.html
Power Restore
Keypad stores all of its scenes, properties, etc. in non-volatile memory. As such, all settings are retained after a power
outage. Upon power being restored, Keypad will return its connected load and all LEDs to their states prior to power
outage.

Page 14 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
Factory Reset
Factory Reset clears all user settings from Keypad including INSTEON scenes, on-levels, ramp rates, X10
addresses, etc.
1) With a small screwdriver or your fingernail, pull out Set button to create an air gap.
2) Wait 10 seconds.
3) Push in Set button hold. Do not let go.
Keypad will begin to emit a long beep.
4) When the beep stops, release the Set button.
Device’s embedded software will rewrite all settings to factory defaults.
A couple of seconds will pass.
Keypad will double-beep and its LEDs will return to normal brightness.
The connected load will turn on and Keypad will return to ready mode.
Adjust Local Settings
Each of the Keypad buttons is considered a “scene button,” meaning you can use any of the buttons on Keypad to
create INSTEON scenes. Each button will control its own scene, only sending commands to devices linked
specifically to that button. Dimmable responders may behave differently, depending on whether you tap, double-tap
or press and hold a button to activate/deactivate a scene. Non-dimming responders will not respond to press-and-
hold brighten or dim commands; they will only turn full-on or full-off in response to taps and double-taps.
•When the LED of the button is on, the scene has been activated (turned on).
•When the LED of the button is off, the scene has been deactivated (turned off).
Activating/Deactivating scenes with the Keypad buttons:
•Tap to activate
Dimmable responders will turn on at their preset on-level at their programmed ramp rate.
Non-dimming responders will immediately turn full-on.
•Tap to deactivate
Dimmable responders will turn full-off at their programmed ramp rate.
Non-dimming responders will immediately turn full-off.
•Double-Tap to activate
Responders (both dimming and non-dimming) will immediately turn full-on.
•Double-Tap to deactivate
Responders (both dimming and non-dimming) will immediately turn full-off.
•Press and hold to activate

Page 15 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
Dimming responders will begin to brighten, unless they are already at full-on.
Non-dimming responders will ignore the command and remain at their current state.
When you release the button, the responders will stop going brighter.
Once the scene is activated, pressing and holding the button will toggle between brightening and dimming the
responders. Non-dimmable responders will ignore press-and-hold brighten/dim commands and remain at their
current state.
LED Behavior
Keypad has a dual-color green and red LED which momentarily indicates if a button press was successfully
communicated to all scene members.
LED State
Meaning
Blinks green once
One or more scene members acknowledge the button press.
Blinks red once
One or more scene members did not acknowledge the button press (note:
scene members may still have heard the scene command and adjusted
their settings)
Local On-Level
The local on-level is the default brightness level at which the light(s) physically wired to Keypad will turn on. The
default local on-level is 100%, but can be set to any one of 33 settings, 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%) or
“Resume Bright,” which will result in the light returning to the brightness level it was at prior to being turned off.
We recommend using home-management software such as HouseLinc to set the local on-level. However, you can
also change it manually by following the steps below.
1) Press and hold On and/or Off (or Main in 8-button configuration) until the connected light is at the brightness desired
when turned on locally (turn the light off if you wish to use the “Resume Bright” feature)
2) Tap the Set button
Keypad will beep
3) Test the Local On-Level settings by tapping the On/Off or Main buttons
Air Gap
To remove all power from Keypad and connected light(s), pull out the Set button at the bottom of the switch as far
as it will go, about 1/8”. (It might be helpful to use a small screwdriver.) This will open the mechanical contacts and
create an air gap.
To restore power, press the air gap back into place until its top is even with the trim frame.
Beep on Button Press
Default = Off
This setting is adjustable via software or a central controller only.
Error Blink
Default = on

Page 16 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
This setting is adjustable via software or a central controller only. Keypad Dimmer LED blinks red for a few seconds
if one or more responders do not acknowledge a message.
Changing to 6-Button or 8-Button Plate
- The 6-button plate provides a dedicated load ON button at the top of the switch, a dedicated load OFF button
at the bottom, and four programmable secondary buttons between the On and Off buttons
- The 8-button plate provides a dedicated load MAIN On/Off button in the top left-most position of the keypad
and seven programmable secondary buttons.
Attach the change-out plate to the switch body by aligning the tabs. Snap into place.
Note:
For proper operation, Keypad must be programmed to operate in 6-button or 8-button mode, corresponding to
whichever plate is attached. See Configuring for 6 or 8-Button Operation.
Changing Buttons
Keypad buttons can be swapped out with custom-etched buttons to customize its
appearance. Using a small, flat-edged screwdriver only, carefully pry up on the sides
of the keys from the middle of the keypad (when possible). Make sure you are
centered on the key so as to catch the small edge located there for this purpose.
Please note that behind the buttons are clear plastic filler pieces; these diffuse the
buttons’ LEDs’ lights more elegantly. Use care to keep these filler pieces in the button
frame as you reassemble the keypad.
Should any damage occur to Keypad during customization, please contact 800-762-7845 and we will be happy to replace
your frame.
ADVANCED FEATURES
Local Ramp-Rate
The local ramp rate is the time it takes for the light(s) physically wired to Keypad to brighten from off to 100% brightness.
The default ramp rate is 0.5 seconds, but it can be set to different rates. When set manually, it can be set from 0.1 to 9

Page 17 of 24 Rev: 6/19/2013 10:26 AM
seconds. However, when using home-management software such as HouseLinc, the ramp rate may be configured
anywhere from 0.1 seconds to 8 minutes. Follow the instructions below to manually change the local ramp rate.
1) Adjust the connected light(s) to brightness corresponding to the desired Ramp-Rate
Brightness Level
Ramp-Rate in Seconds
90-100%

9.0
2) Double-tap the Set button on your Keypad
Keypad will double-beep
3) Test the Ramp-Rate settings by tapping the On/Off buttons on your Keypad or Controller.
Connected lights will ramp up and down at the new rate.
4) Start again if the ramp rate is not as desired or, if your double tap was not fast enough, you may have accidentally
changed the Local On-Level instead of the Local Ramp-Rate (note: software allows you to set the on levels and ramp
rates exactly as desired and consistently around the house)

Troubleshooting
NOTE: Unless they have been unlinked, INSTEON devices that had been previously linked to Keypad Dimmer
Dual-Band will still respond to button presses, even after a factory reset. The reason is that the INSTEON devices
themselves have not been unlinked from Keypad Dimmer Dual-Band. See Removing Keypad Button from a Scene
as a Controller.
