TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual ABOUT TRIGGERLINC TriggerLinc can wirelessly control lights or appliances throughout your home. Program any INSTEON device to react when the magnetic contact is broken and re-established on TriggerLinc. Useful for doors, windows, drawers, cabinets, or anything else that opens. You can optionally connect an external contact closure sensor of any type (e.g., hidden contacts or doorbell button).
TriggerLinc 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.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual INSTALLATION TriggerLinc Hardware Reed Switch Used by TriggerLinc to detect whether the included magnet is within ½ inch of the main case: • Reed switch is in the closed state when the magnet is inside ½ inch • Reed switch is in the opened state when the magnet is further than ½ inch Jumper When the jumper is installed (default), TriggerLinc will send an INSTEON ON command when it opens and an OFF command when it closes.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual Installing TriggerLinc 1) RF-only devices require at least one dual-band INSTEON device, such as an Access Point (#2443), for communication. For the best INSTEON network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two dual-band INSTEON devices.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual CONTROLLING INSTEON RESPONDERS FROM TRIGGERLINC Linking TriggerLinc to an INSTEON Responder In default mode, TriggerLinc will: • Turn on Responders when it opens • Turn off Responders when it closes This mode is ideal for garage doors, closets, sheds, etc., where you want the lights on when door/windows are opened and off when they are closed. If you require more flexible functionality, see Using TriggerLinc’s Multi-Scene Mode.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual Using TriggerLinc’s Multi-Scene Mode In Multi-Scene Mode, TriggerLinc will: • Activate Scene 1 when it opens • Activate Scene 2 when it closes This mode is ideal when you need more flexibility: • For rooms where you want the lights left on after the door is closed – simply don’t Link any Responders to Scene 2 in this case • Turning lights on at full-bright when a door is opened and dim when the door is closed • Activating two independent scenes when a door/window is opene
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual CREATING INSTEON SCENES INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the tap of just one button. For example, you can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with the tap of a button on a 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.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual Resetting TriggerLinc to its Factory Default Settings The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the TriggerLinc memory of all INSTEON Links, etc. 1) If you are using TriggerLinc to control any Responders, Unlink them from TriggerLinc. See Unlinking an INSTEON Responder from TriggerLinc.
TriggerLinc Owner’s Manual Further Enhancing Reliability As signals travel via the power line or RF throughout the home, they naturally become weaker the farther they travel. The best way to overcome weakened signals is to increase the coverage of the mesh network by introducing more INSTEON devices. It is possible that some audio-video devices, computers, power strips, or other electrical equipment may attenuate INSTEON signals on the power line.
