SwitchLinc Dimmer – INSTEON
Dimmer Switch (Dual-Band), 1000W
Model: 2477DH

Introduction

SwitchLinc can remotely control any wired-in light in your
home at the touch of a button. Use the paddle on
SwitchLinc to control other Linked INSTEON devices. Or
send commands to SwitchLinc from an INSTEON
Controller.
SwitchLinc also works as an INSTEON signal repeater and
can be used to bridge the power phases in your home (like
an Access Point, #2443). Use indoors only.

Preparation

Installation should be performed only by a qualified electrician
or by a homeowner who is familiar and comfortable with
electrical circuitry. If you have any questions regarding
installation, we suggest consulting an electrician. If you have
any questions regarding setup, contact INSTEON Gold
Support Line.

Tools Needed

•
Phillips and standard screwdrivers
•
Wire cutter / stripper
•
Voltage tester to identify wires inside the junction box

Installation (Typical, 2-Way Circuit)

Note: For Multi-Way Circuit installation, refer to the Owner's
Manual.
1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disable the
circuit supplying power to the switch
2) Remove the wallplate from the switch you are
replacing. Then, unscrew the switch itself and pull it
out from the junction box.
3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are
replacing and ensure you have 1/2" of bare wire on
the ends
4) To correctly identify the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL,
and GROUND wires, enable power to the switch
from the circuit breaker or fuse panel, use a line
voltage meter, then turn the breaker off again. See
Figure 1 to properly connect your wires to the
INSTEON device.
Note: Mechanical switches don't utilize NEUTRAL
wires, but they are usually available in the back of
the switch box.
5) Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached
and that there is no exposed copper except for the
GROUND wire
6) Orient SwitchLinc with the LED bar at the left, gently
place it into the junction box, and then screw it into
place. Do not remove the dissipation fins since
removal of each fin reduces the rated capacity by
100W for each fin removed. Dissipation fins cannot
be reattached once removed.
7) Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker
or fuse panel
8) Test that SwitchLinc is working properly by turning
the light on and off
9) Reinstall the wallplate
