From whole-home audio to security systems to automation controllers, you can now keep the equipment you already own and take advantage of a reliable INSTEON network.

SeriaLinc Owner’s Manual WHAT IS INSTEON? Since its inception in 2005, INSTEON has become a best-selling home-control networking technology, offering more reliability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market. INSTEON systems are simple, reliable, and affordable. Simple, because each device takes mere minutes to install. Reliable, because every INSTEON device works as a network repeater, ensuring your commands will not be lost.
SeriaLinc Owner’s Manual • Some computers and their accessories can absorb SeriaLinc signals off the power lines. Since SeriaLinc will be so close to the computer, use a Smarthome FilterLinc (#1626) or filtered power strip for the computer to keep the SeriaLinc signals from getting absorbed by the computer equipment. • If the computer’s serial port is shared with another hardware device (scanner, PDA, etc.), be sure to turn off the device’s program on the PC.

Resetting SeriaLinc to its Factory Default Settings The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the SeriaLinc memory and restore its factory default settings.
SeriaLinc Owner’s Manual Important Note about INSTEON Networks; Split Single-Phase vs. 3-Phase Installation For the best INSTEON network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two dual-band INSTEON devices. INSTEON has only been officially tested in a split single-phase residential environment but has been known to work in many 3-phase systems, where three dual-band devices are used (one on each phase).
