CONTROLLING LAMPLINC FROM AN INSTEON CONTROLLER 

Linking an INSTEON Controller to LampLinc 

To use LampLinc as an INSTEON Responder, follow these steps to Link LampLinc and a Controller 
together. Refer to the Controller’s Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions on how to properly install and 
Link it to LampLinc.  

The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices: 

1) 

Set the Controller to Linking Mode. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for 10 
seconds or the Set button for 3 seconds.) 

You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.  

2) 

Press & hold the Set button on LampLinc for 3 seconds 

The LampLinc Status LED should flash twice and then turn on solid 

The load should flash twice  

3) 

Confirm that Linking was successful by pressing the button you just Linked to on the Controller

 

 

LampLinc should respond appropriately 

 

Unlinking LampLinc from an INSTEON Controller 

If you are going to discontinue using LampLinc, it is very important that you Unlink it from any Linked 
Controllers. Otherwise, the Controllers will retry any commands repetitively, thus slowing down the 
system. 

 

The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:  

1)  Set the Controller to Unlinking Mode. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for 

10 seconds 

twice 

or the Set button for 3 seconds 

twice

.)

 

 

You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Unlinking Mode automatically times out.  

2)  Press & hold the Set button on LampLinc for 3 seconds  

The LampLinc Status LED should flash twice and then turn on solid 

The load should flash twice   

3)  Confirm that Unlinking was successful by tapping the button you just Unlinked from on the Controller 

LampLinc should no long respond 

 

ON-LEVELS AND RAMP RATES 

The 

On-Level 

is the brightness that the load will go to when you turn it on. The On-Level is adjustable 

from off to 100% brightness. The default is 100%.  

The 

Ramp Rate

 is the amount of time it will take the load to go from full-off to full-on or from full-on to full-

off. The Ramp Rate is adjustable from 0.1 to 9 seconds to ramp between full-on and full-off and vice 
versa. The default is 0.1 seconds.  

You can set up 

remote 

On-Levels/Ramp Rates that are activated when you tap an On/Off or Scene 

button on a Linked Controller. A single LampLinc is capable of storing different On-Levels and Ramp 
Rates for each Linked Controller (or each button if it is a multi-scene Controller).  

On-Levels and Ramp Rates are locked in separately and can be set up in any order. When you do the 
lock-in, the most recently set On-Level and Ramp Rate are locked in together.
