I/O Linc allows you to monitor and control any low voltage device (such as alarm sensor, electric door strike, etc.) as part of your INSTEON home automation network. With one dry-contact sensor input you can control many INSTEON devices throughout the house. Plus, use the built-in single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch to connect to any low- voltage-powered device for continuous or momentary operation.
Don’t plug I/O Linc into a filtered power strip or AC filter • Don’t stack INSTEON home automation devices together by plugging them into each other. Stacked devices may overheat and stop functioning. Also avoid using the pass-through outlets on INSTEON devices for other heat-generating power supplies. •...
Sensor Terminals Input Linking the I/O Linc Sensor Input to an INSTEON Responder Any device that is Linked to I/O Linc (the load) using these instructions will be controlled when: • The I/O Linc connected to the sensor is either opened or closed •...
NOTE: During linking, you will have the option to turn on remote INSTEON devices when either the connected sensor is closed or when it is opened. Once this is programmed, the opposite action will trigger an OFF command. For example, if you program an ON command to be sent when the I/O Linc connected sensor is closed, opening the sensor will trigger an OFF command.
OFF command when the sensor is opened, or vice versa, the output relay will: • Close when an INSTEON ON command is sent (as a result of a sensor) • Open when an INSTEON OFF command is sent (as a result of a sensor)

In this example, a KeypadLinc is programmed to control sprinklers. When KeypadLinc sends an ON command, I/O Linc will close the relay, turning on the sprinklers. They will remain on until KeypadLinc sends an OFF command, opening the I/O Linc relay and turning off the sprinklers. NOTE ABOUT MOMENTARY MODES: The relay will remain open until triggered.
Once you have chosen the desired output relay mode, proceed to linking and follow the instructions for the mode you have chosen. See Linking an INSTEON Controller to Control the I/O Linc Output Relay. Linking an INSTEON Controller to Control the I/O Linc Output Relay NOTE: The following steps assume the I/O Linc output relay is still set to the factory default Latching (Continuous) Mode.
Once you have selected the desired output relay mode, find it below and follow the instructions to Link I/O Linc to an INSTEON Controller. Latching (Continuous) 1) Tap the Set button on I/O Linc to set the relay to the desired state. For example, if you want an ON command to open the relay, set the relay to be open.
NOTE: The momentary duration can be set manually anywhere from 2 seconds up to 25 seconds. Or you can use INSTEON home automation software (such as HouseLinc) to set the momentary duration anywhere from 0.2 seconds up to 25 seconds.
Controller. INSTEON scenes are very easy to set up – just Link more than one responder to the same On/Off or Scene button on a Controller. Then, when you press any of the Linked buttons on the Controller, all of the INSTEON devices Linked in the scene will respond as a group.
3) Using an X10 controller, send either ON (for I/O Linc to send an X10 ON command when the sensor closes and an X10 OFF command when the sensor opens) or OFF (for I/O Linc to send an X10 ON command when the sensor opens and an X10 OFF command when the sensor closes) I/O Linc will beep and its Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid Removing an I/O Linc X10 Address from its Sensor Input...
