In a virtual multi-way circuit, only one SwitchLinc Dimmer, called the SwitchLinc Primary, actually controls the LOAD in the multi-way
circuit. Any additional SwitchLinc Dimmers, called SwitchLinc Secondaries, are not connected to the LOAD, but only to the powerline
(by being wired to the LINE and NEUTRAL). All of the SwitchLinc Dimmers can communicate with one another using INSTEON net-
working on the powerline. After wiring in the SwitchLinc Dimmers, you create the virtual multi-way circuit by setting up all of the
SwitchLinc Dimmers to control each other.
The diagram below shows how you convert a wired-in three-way circuit into a virtual three-way circuit using two SwitchLinc Dimmers.
Notice that one of the TRAVELER wires (number 1, the red one) is not used, so you will cap it off at both ends with a wire nut. The
other TRAVELER (number 2, the black one) you will convert to a LINE wire. In the junction box where the SwitchLinc Secondary is,
connect TRAVELER 2 to the existing LINE and also to the SwitchLinc Secondary's LINE wire. In the other junction box at the other end,
you will connect TRAVELER 2 to the SwitchLinc Primary's LINE wire.
The SwitchLinc Primary's LOAD wire gets connected to the actual lights that are being controlled. The LOAD wire for any SwitchLinc
Secondaries that you will be installing will not be connected to anything, so cap those LOAD wires off with a wire nut.
All SwitchLinc Dimmers, whether they are Primaries or Secondaries, must be connected to the NEUTRAL and to the GROUND wires.
Note that the switches you are replacing will not normally have a connection to the NEUTRAL wire. If there is no NEUTRAL wire in the
junction box, please consult an electrician or call SmartLabs Tech Support, 866-243-8018.

Installing Your SwitchLinc Dimmer
Step 1.
Be sure you have properly installed two AccessPoints (#2443).
Step 2.
At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction box.
Step 3.
Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch and pull it out from the junction box.
Step 4.
Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing and ensure you have 1/2" of bare wire on the ends.
Step 5.
If you are installing SwitchLinc into a t t w w o o - - w w a a y y c c i i r r c c u u i i t t (where one switch controls the load), follow the diagram below to
identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the
diagram, be sure you have identified the wires correctly before connecting them.
Step 6.
If you are installing into a m m u u l l t t i i - - w w a a y y c c i i r r c c u u i i t t (where more than one switch controls the load), consult the User's Guide.
Step 7.
Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire.
Step 8.
Orient SwitchLinc Dimmer with the LED bar at the left, gently place it into the junction box, then screw it into place.
Step 9.
Turn the circuit breaker back on or re-install the fuse.
Step 10.
Test that SwitchLinc Dimmer is working properly by turning the light on and off.
Step 11.
Reinstall the faceplate.
