INSTEON KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer User’s Guide
X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
KeypadLinc Dimmer is backward-compatible with X10, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands
from an X10 Controller and it can send X10 commands to X10 devices. However, to operate
KeypadLinc Dimmer in X10 mode, you must first set up an X10 Primary Address. As It ships from
the factory, or after a factory reset procedure, KeypadLinc Dimmer will have no X10 Primary Address set
up.
Setting the X10 Primary Address
You must do this before KeypadLinc Dimmer will respond to X10 commands. You can use any of
the 256 possible X10 addresses for the X10 Primary Address.
1. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the Desired Button for 10
seconds until the LED begins blinking slowly and the controlled light flashes.
2. Using an X10 Controller, send the X10 Primary Address
you want to set up three times. You have about 4
minutes to perform this step before KeypadLinc Dimmer’s
Linking Mode times out automatically.
NOTE
An X10 Address consists of a House
Code followed by a Unit Code. An
X10 command, such as X10 ON o
X10 OFF, may optionally follow the
X10 Address.
3. Once KeypadLinc Dimmer has received the X10 Address
three times, KeypadLinc Dimmer will confirm that it has set
its Primary X10 Address by blinking its LED and flashing
the light that it is wired to.
Removing the X10 Primary Address
1. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the Desired Button for 10
seconds until the LED begins blinking slowly and the controlled light flashes.
2. Set KeypadLinc Dimmer to Unlinking Mode by pressing and holding the Desired Button again for
10 seconds until the controlled light flashes again.
3. Using an X10 Controller, send any X10 Address three times. It does not matter what the X10
Address is as long as it is the same one each time. You have about 4 minutes to perform this step
before KeypadLinc Dimmer’s Unlinking Mode times out automatically.
4. Once KeypadLinc Dimmer has received the X10 Address three times, KeypadLinc Dimmer will
confirm that it has removed its Primary X10 Address by blinking its LED and flashing the light that it is
wired to.
