Your IR Linc is ready to be used by most any powerline-based product on the mar- ket. However, when teamed up and used with other Smarthome automation prod- ucts, you can transform the whole home's automation system to the same level and sophistication normally found in multi-million dollar homes.

Optional Accessories for the IR Linc A level of intelligence can also be added to the IR Linc by using it with one of the Smarthome Probes. Probes may be used for many purposes including detecting the power status of an AV device.
Installation The IR Linc should be installed in a location that has a standard 120-volt household receptacle readily accessible. If external Mini Stick-On IR Emitters are not being used, place the IR Linc in a location that allows the built-in IR blasters to be within line-of-site of the equipment.
The IR Linc uses powerline (PLC/X10) commands for communica- tions. A compatible transmitter will be needed before learning IR commands. A ControLinc Duo (Smarthome #4071) or X10 Maxi- Controller (#4020) is ideal for programming the IR Linc. Up to seven different PLC functions can be used for each house/unit code.

6. The green "Probe" indicator will begin to flash indicating that the IR Linc is ready to receive PLC commands to associate with the learned IR signal. 7. From a compatible transmitter, send the house/unit code that is to be identi- fied with this IR signal followed by the function code (ON, OFF, Dim, etc.).
Deleting Individual IR Commands A learned IR commands can be deleted at any time. To delete an IR command, fol- low these steps: 1. Press and hold the "Set" on the back of the IR Linc for one second 2. The red "Active" indicator will begin to blink rapidly 3.
Troubleshooting & Technical Support Factory Reset (to default settings) If the IR Linc begins to operate strangely, the factory-reset procedure can be used to clear the IR Linc Controller's memory and restore its factory default settings. It is also recommended that a factory reset of the IR Linc be performed before program- ming.

And for plug-in devices, the ApplianceLinc and LampLinc modules will automate just about anything that plugs in. Please visit the Smarthome web site or contact your distributor for more information.
