13.19 RemoteLinc
RemoteLincs are RF devices, thus require the installation of an INSTEON RF receiver (such
as an INSTEON AccessPoint).
RemoteLincs link differently than other INSTEON devices, this require a separate linking
routine. To link a RemoteLinc to your ISY, click the LINK MANAGEMENT pulldown and
choose LINK A REMOTELINC and follow the on-screen instructions. Since the RemoteLinc
is a battery-saving RF device, it must be put into linking mode whenever adding to the ISY
or making changes (such as adding or removing from a scene). To put the device in linking
mode, hold Button 1 down for 10 seconds, or until the light starts flashing.
To EXIT linking mode, either wait for the RemoteLinc to time out and the LED to stop
flashing (4 minutes), or simply hit the BRIGHT or DIM button. DO NOT hit one of the 6
rocker buttons.
RemoteLincs show up as a multiple nodes on the ISY (one node per button).
