TimerLinc – INSTEON Plug-in Timer
Model: 2456S3T
Automatic Timers and Remote Control for INSTEON

Introduction

A simple, plug-in timer for INSTEON compatible products. No software to download or PC
required. Includes randomized timers to give your home that "lived-in" look. A self-
contained battery keeps the accurate time so you don't have to reset the time after power
failure or if you move the unit to another outlet. Also functions as an INSTEON
ApplianceLinc, so you can remotely control it from anywhere in your home, or the world.
Note: a) It is recommended at least 2, properly installed Access Points (#2443) are
Installed in every INSTEON installation
b) TimerLinc cannot create different timer events for separate devices (all devices
linked to TimerLinc will respond as a group)
c) If LCD goes to sleep while you are programming, simply tap the OK button to
wake the unit back up
1)
Remove plastic film from LCD Screen

Remove Battery Isolation tab (plastic pull-tab) from the TimerLinc to engage the back-up battery
The LCD screen will turn on (after a brief "all segments-on" period) and 12:00 will be blinking
