LampLinc Owner’s Manual  

 

  If the lamp being controlled by LampLinc already has its own built-in dimmer, turn that dimmer to 

full-on and allow LampLinc to control the lamp’s brightness 

  To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use LampLinc to 

control incandescent lamps only. Dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could 
cause damage to the dimmer, the load device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device 
does not recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON ApplianceLinc (#2456S) instead. 

  Don’t stack INSTEON home automation devices together by plugging them into one another. 

Stacked modules may overheat and stop functioning.  

  Don’t use LampLinc to control devices that preserve, maintain, or contribute to human or animal 

safety or life support   

If you have any questions, please call: 

INSTEON Gold Support Line

Installing LampLinc 

1)  Plug the lamp/device (also called the load) you want to control into the 

outlet on the 

bottom 

of LampLinc  

2)  Plug LampLinc into an unswitched wall outlet  

The LampLinc Status LED and the load should turn on

 

3)  If the load does not turn on, turn it on manually using the built-in switch  

4)  OPTIONAL: You can use the pass-through outlet on the 

front 

of 

LampLinc as you would an ordinary uncontrolled wall outlet. However, 
do not plug another home automation product into this outlet.  

 

NOTE: After completing installation, you will not be able to use the load’s built-in switch to control the load 
unless Load Sensing is enabled. See 

Enabling/Disabling Load Sensing. 

 

To control the load, you will need to Link LampLinc to an INSTEON Controller. You will not be able to 
control the load from the LampLinc unit itself. See your Controller’s Owner’s Manual for detailed 
instructions on how to control LampLinc.
