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.
Key ApplianceLinc Features

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 module to an ON/OFF Button Pair on
an INSTEON Controller. Then, when you press either the ON or the OFF Button on the INSTEON
Controller, all of the INSTEON modules linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple
ApplianceLincs or other INSTEON modules to multiple INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional ApplianceLinc to a scene controlled by an ON/OFF Button Pair on an INSTEON
Controller, simply follow the same procedure that you used for linking the first ApplianceLinc. See Linking
ApplianceLinc to an INSTEON Controller, above. To remove an ApplianceLinc from a scene, see
Unlinking ApplianceLinc from an INSTEON Controller.
TIP
With some INSTEON Controllers, you can avoid having to hold a button down for 10 seconds for each
setup step by placing the Controller in Scene Setup Mode, also called Multilink Mode. Refer to you
r
INSTEON Controller’s User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to set it to Scene Setup Mode.
The following will work for a Smarthome ControLinc™V2 Tabletop Controller.
1. Set the ControLinc V2 to Scene Setup Mode for the ON/OFF Button Pair you want to use fo
r
controlling the scene by pressing and holding the ON Button of the pair for 10 seconds, then
tapping the same ON Button again. ControLinc V2’s Status LED will blink slowly.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds. The module’s Status LED
will blink to confirm linking. ControLinc V2 will beep to confirm linking, and its Status LED will
continue to blink slowly.
3. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON modules you want to link to the scene.
4. When you are finished linking INSTEON modules to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene
Setup by pressing the ON Button. ControLinc V2’s Status LED will stop blinking and remain
steadily on. You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before Scene Setup Mode times out
automatically.

ADVANCED FEATURES OF APPLIANCELINC
Restoring Power to ApplianceLinc
ApplianceLinc stores all of its settings in non-volatile memory, even when unplugged. In the event of a
power loss, ApplianceLinc will automatically return the non-dimmable device/lamp being controlled to the
on/off position it had before the power was interrupted. Similarly, if ApplianceLinc is plugged into an
outlet controlled by a wall switch and you turn the switch off, ApplianceLinc will turn the non-dimmable
device/lamp back on to its prior on/off position when you turn the wall switch back on.
Resetting ApplianceLinc to Its Factory Default Settings
The factory-reset procedure can be used to clear ApplianceLinc’s memory and restore its factory default
settings. This procedure will clear the unit of all INSTEON Links, and any programmed X10 Primary
Address, or X10 Scene Addresses.
1. Before resetting an ApplianceLinc that has been linked to an INSTEON Controller, be sure to unlink it
from the Controller first. See Unlinking ApplianceLinc from an INSTEON Controller, above.
2. Unplug ApplianceLinc for about 10 seconds.
3. While holding down the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc, plug ApplianceLinc back in.
4. After plugging ApplianceLinc back in, continue to hold down the black SET Button for 3 seconds.
5. Release the black SET Button.
6. After several seconds, ApplianceLinc’s Status LED will turn on and the lamp you plugged in will come
on, indicating that the factory reset is complete. ApplianceLinc is now reset to all the default settings
and ready for fresh programming and use.

INSTEON ApplianceLinc V2 User’s Guide
X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
ApplianceLinc is X10 ready, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands from an X10 controller.
However, to operate ApplianceLinc in X10 mode, you must first set up an X10 Primary Address. As
it ships from the factory, or after a factory reset procedure, ApplianceLinc will have no X10 Primary
Address assigned.
Setting the X10 Primary Address
You must do this before ApplianceLinc will respond to X10 commands. You can use any of the 256
possible X10 addresses for the X10 Primary Address.
1. Press and hold the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds. The white Status LED will
begin flashing and the lamp you are controlling will blink to confirm that you are setting up an X10
Primary Address.
2. Use an X10 Controller to send an X10 address and an ON command THREE TIMES. You have
about 30 seconds to perform this step before setup mode expires. (NOTE: If you send an X10 OFF
command during this step, Local Control will be disabled. See the next section for an explanation.)
3. Once ApplianceLinc has received the X10 Address and an ON or OFF command, the Status LED on
ApplianceLinc will stop flashing and the X10 Primary Address will be set.
Removing the X10 Primary Address
1. Press and hold the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds. The white Status LED will
begin flashing to confirm that you are setting up an X10 Primary Address.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds again.
3. Use an X10 Controller to send any X10 ON Address THREE TIMES. You have about 30 seconds to
perform this step before setup mode expires. The white Status LED will stop flashing to confirm that
you have removed the X10 Primary Address. Please note that removing the X10 primary address
does not disable all X10 reception. If any scenes were set, the module will still respond to those
scene addresses.
Enabling or Disabling Local Control
Local Control allows you to manually turn on the non-dimmable device or lamp you plugged into
ApplianceLinc by using the switch on the device itself, without sending a command from an X10 or
INSTEON Controller. By default, Local Control is enabled. You can disable Local Control by setting the
X10 Primary Address using an X10 OFF command in Step 2 above. Remember that if the switch on the
device itself is turned off, ApplianceLinc will not be able to control the device.

INSTEON ApplianceLinc V2 User’s Guide
ADVANCED X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
You can remotely set up X10 Scene Addresses using an X10 Controller capable of sending an X10
address (house code and unit code) without sending X10 ON or OFF commands. The following
procedures will not work with a transmitter that sends the X10 address and an X10 command together.
X10 Controllers in which one button is pressed to turn an X10 device on or off WILL NOT WORK.
These procedures all begin by sending the same sequence of five X10 addresses, called the CLEAR
Sequence. After you send the CLEAR Sequence, you have about 4 minutes to finish the procedure
before automatic timeout.
About X10 Scene Address Programming
ApplianceLinc can be a member of up to 255 X10 Scenes. An X10 Scene Address is just another X10
address like the X10 Primary Address. When an X10 ON command is sent to an X10 Scene Address,
every X10 Scene-enabled module with that X10 Scene Address will turn on to its independent On-Level
at its independent Ramp Rate. Sending an X10 OFF command to an X10 Scene Address will turn off all
modules that are members of that X10 Scene. However, they will ignore ALL ON and ALL OFF
commands for the X10 Scene Address.
Remotely Setting an X10 Scene Address
1. Using an X10 Controller, send the CLEAR Sequence:
2. Send ApplianceLinc ’s X10 Primary Address (house code and unit code).
3. Send an X10 ON or OFF command.
4. Send the following X10 Address sequence:
5. Send the desired X10 Scene Address (house code and unit code) to lock in the X10 Scene Address.
6. ApplianceLinc will blink its Status LED, indicating that the X10 Scene Address has been set up.
Remotely Removing an X10 Scene Address
1. Using an X10 Controller, send the CLEAR Sequence:
2. Send ApplianceLinc ’s X10 Primary Address (house code and unit code).
3. Send an X10 ON or OFF command.
4. Send the following X10 Address sequence:
O16 N16 M16 P16 M16
M16 N16 O16 P16
O16 N16 M16 P16 M16
O16 P16 M16 N16
5. Send the X10 Scene Address (house code and unit code) that is to be removed.
6. ApplianceLinc will blink its Status LED, indicating that the X10 Scene Address has been removed.

ABOUT INSTEON
Understanding Why an INSTEON Network Is Reliable
INSTEON messages travel throughout the home via Powerline Carrier (PLC) signals on the existing
house wiring, and also via wireless Radio Frequency (RF). As the messages make their way to
INSTEON devices being controlled, they are picked up and retransmitted by all other INSTEON devices
along the way. This method of communicating, called a mesh network, is very reliable because each
additional INSTEON device helps to support the overall network.
To further ensure reliability, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command. If an
INSTEON Controller does not receive this confirmation, it will automatically retransmit the command up to
five times.
Further Enhancing Reliability
As signals travel via the powerline or RF throughout the home, they naturally
become weaker the farther they travel. The best way to overcome signals getting
weaker is to increase the coverage of the mesh network by introducing more
INSTEON devices.
It is possible that some audio-video products, computers, power strips or other
electrical equipment may attenuate INSTEON signals on the powerline. You can
temporarily unplug suspected devices to test whether the INSTEON signal
improves. If it does, then you can plug in filters available from Smarthome that will
permanently fix the problem.
Using Smarthome’s SignaLinc RF to Upgrade Your INSTEON Network
SignaLinc™RF Signal Enhancers are ideal for improving signal strength
and network coverage throughout your home. SignaLinc RF acts like
another member of the dual-band mesh network, tying it together by
simultaneously retransmitting INSTEON signals across both radio-
frequency and the powerline. It also provides an access point for RF-
only INSTEON devices, such as handheld controllers.
In addition, two SignaLinc RFs provide a wireless path for INSTEON
signals to travel between the two separate electrical circuits, called
powerline phases, found in most homes. Without a reliable method for
coupling opposite powerline phases, some parts of your home may
receive INSTEON signals intermittently. With at least one SignaLinc RF
plugged into one of the powerline phases, and at least one more
plugged into the opposite powerline phase, INSTEON powerline signals
will be strong everywhere in your home.

About INSTEON and X10
Possible BoosterLincTM Interference with INSTEON
If you have installed older Smarthome Plug-In BoosterLinc™ X10 Signal Boosters (#4827) or certain
other BoosterLinc-enabled products, the older BoosterLinc technology may interfere with INSTEON
communications.
Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, Smarthome #4827, shipped after February 1, 2005, with V3.0
or later firmware, are fully compatible with INSTEON.
The following Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters use older firmware that may cause interference
with INSTEON:
• White BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, #4827, shipped before February 1, 2005, with V2.5 or earlier
firmware
• All Gray BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, #4827
Try unplugging the older BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters to see if this helps with INSTEON interference.
If it does, please call 800-SMARTHOME (800-762-7846) for help with replacing your older BoosterLinc
X10 Signal Boosters with newer INSTEON-compatible ones.
The following pre-INSTEON SmartHome products have BoosterLinc technology that you can turn on or
turn off when you set the X10 Address for the product. If turned on, the BoosterLinc technology may
INSTEON.interfere with
NOTE
To disable BoosterLinc X10 Signal

• SwitchLinc™ Relay 2-Way,
#23883 and #23883T
• ToggleLinc™ 2-Way ,
#23890, and Switch, #23893
If you have any of these products and the BoosterLinc feature is turned on, please consult your User’s
Guide or call 800-SMARTHOME (800-762-7846) for help with turning it off. You may then wish to install
newer INSTEON BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, which Smarthome can help you with.
INSTEON’s Effect on X10
If your existing X10 devices seem to be working less reliably after installing INSTEON devices, remember
that INSTEON devices can absorb X10 signals just as X10 devices do, and that INSTEON devices do not
repeat X10 signals. Installing INSTEON-compatible BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, Smarthome
#4827, or a SignaLinc Plug-In Coupler-Repeater, #4826, can increase X10 signal levels.
Please call 800-SMARTHOME (800-762-7846) if you have any questions or would like more help.
