KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer — The Ultimate Remote Control Keypad
Nearly everything you see or feel is affected by lighting. So when it comes to the lighting in your home, you shouldn't have to make compromises. And you won't have to with the KeypadLinc, a line of in-wall controllers that controls individual lights, or triggers whole-house mood lighting "scenes," at the touch of a button!

    Scene Lighting - Change the Lighting to Match Your Mood
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single INSTEON command. All member lights will ramp to your independently desired levels at your chosen ramp rate(s). Because the KeypadLinc can be a member of over 400 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various mood lighting scenarios with a single button press. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home.


    Adjustable On Level / Resume Dim
    Each KeypadLinc Dimmer can easily be programmed to come "on" to any brightness level from 3% to 100%. A closet light might be best at 100% brightness while you may choose to have your living room lights come on at 50% saving money. Of course, you can easily brighten either circuit to full on. Another "on level" option is to have the light come on to its last on level, this is known as Resume Dim. Programming can be done at the keypad or with an INSTEON controller.

    Adjustable Fade Rate
    You can adjust the rate at which the light turns on or off, also known as the ramp rate. For example, you may want the light in the stairwell to turn on instantly so you can see where you're walking. Conversely, you may want the light in the master bathroom to ramp up in a soft, gentle fashion so you're not blinded in the middle of the night. The ramp rate is adjustable between 0.1 seconds and 9 minutes (for a simulated sunrise or sunset).

    Dimmable
    You can adjust the brightness level locally by pressing and holding the desired button of KeypadLinc. You can also adjust the brightness remotely by sending it dims and brights or by sending it a Preset Dim command. If you need to control a fluorescent light fixture, consider the INSTEON SwitchLinc V2 Relay.

    Fast
    INSTEON is so fast that a human cannot detect a delay. It takes less than 5 1/100ths of a second for a signal to get to its destination in most cases.

    Simple
    Linking INSTEON devices is easy. To link a ControLinc to a KeypadLinc you simply press and hold the ON button of your choice on the ControLinc for 10 seconds (it will beep), you then simply press and hold the ON or any desired secondary button on the KeypadLinc for 10 seconds. You can now control the KeypadLinc from the ControLinc. If you want to control the KeypadLinc from another device you simply repeat the procedure from that device. You can also control other devices from your KeypadLinc — making it a controller as well as a controllee. To create a controller link you simply press and hold the ON or any secondary button for 10 seconds, then press and hold the ON (or set button) on the device you wish to control.

    Thin and Easy to Install
    Other remote control switches are 50% thicker, making them a challenge to fit into standard electrical boxes. Each wire is labeled for easy identification making installation much easier.

    Control — Options, Options, Options.....
    This professional-quality controller communicates with all X10-compatible receivers - SwitchLinc™, LampLinc™, PowerLinc™ — you name it. And, they do it over wiring that's already installed in your home. No retrofit wiring is required! Once the components are in place, simply press one KeypadLinc button, and all the lights programmed to respond will create a lighting scene that you design. Give each scene a name (i.e. "Movietime," "Dinnertime," "Party," etc.) and you can recall that scene in an instant!

    Flexible Setup
    KeypadLinc gives you tremendous flexibility in setup. Other wall-mounted keypads only provide on/off control, each KeypadLinc button can perform up to four different functions thanks to a programmable "toggle" ability. Press once for ON, press again for OFF. Press and hold to brighten, press and hold again to dim. If you prefer, turn off the toggle feature to send the same command every time. Best of all, all the settings are electronically set (no code wheels!) and held in non-volatile EEPROM memory.

    Monitor Other Devices
    The buttons illuminate when ON signals are sent and when signals are detected from other INSTEON devices linked to the KeypadLinc. This allows the KeypadLinc to monitor lights in other rooms, this feature is incredibly useful if you want to control lights that aren't easily seen from the location, like those in basements, garages, attics, etc.

    Pre-printed Labels & Custom Labels
    Ever been to a home with a very expensive lighting system and still couldn't figure out how to control the lights? At Smarthome we believe every keypad needs to be labeled. Several pages of pre-printed labels are included with every unit — both graphical and text. You can personalize your labels by downloading a word document template and create your own custom labels (e.g. Mike's Lamp). You simply pop the button cap off, replace the label and pop it back on.

    Night / Status Light
    A small, subtle white LED at the bottom of KeypadLinc makes it easy to find in a dark room.

    Easy to Install and Set Up
    KeypadLinc wires in like a standard wall switch, with an additional connection to a neutral wire.

    X10 Ready
    To set the X10 address, press and hold the set-button for 5 seconds then send it the X10 address three times (eg. A1A1A1AON) from any X10 compatible transmitter. To set the primary on level, adjust it to the desired brightness level and single tap the set button. To set the ramp rate, brighten the light to a level corresponding to the desired ramp rate and double tap the set button. All features/options can be set up remotely using an X10 transmitter.

    Status Confirmation
    You can poll the status of KeypadLinc for an instant status report, including brightness level. This feature is essential when you need to know if the device being controlled is on or off, especially when you are controlling it via the web or telephone.

    3- & 4-Way Ready
    Simply add more SwitchLinc V2 Dimmers or KeypadLinc V2 Dimmers to build a 3-way circuit, add two of them to build a 4-way circuit, add three for 5-way, etc.

    Create Virtual 3 & 4-Way Circuits & Control Other Devices
    KeypadLinc Dimmer allows you to customize your lighting setup no matter how your house is wired. Install KeypadLinc Dimmer without connecting a load, cross-link it to another KeypadLinc Dimmer or SwitchLinc Dimmer and you've created a virtual 3-Way circuit. To move a switched outlet without rewiring the circuit, simply replace your switch with KeypadLinc Dimmer and plug a LampLinc V2 into the desired outlet.

    Double Tap
    Double tap of the ON button brings light to full on fast while a double tap of the OFF button turns lights off fast.

    Power Failure Features
    All KeypadLinc Dimmer settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally KeypadLinc Dimmer will return to its last brightness level upon a power restore.

    Low Voltage/Ceiling Fan Control
    KeypadLinc can control low voltage halogen (e.g. track) or other low voltage lights. (Note: works with most magnetic and dimmable electronic transformers.) Also, KeypadLinc can control your ceiling fan. (Note: some motors may produce a subtle humming sound.)

    Now Includes White and Ivory Conversion Kits
    All KeypadLinc Dimmers now ship with white (installed) and ivory trim frames designed to match with the two most popular Decora-style wall plate colors

    2-Year Warranty
    Smarthome stands behind the KeypadLinc Dimmer with a full 2-year warranty.

    To ensure network reliability 2 SignaLinc RFs are required in each home with INSTEON enabled products. While a single SignaLinc RF will bridge INSTEON signals between radio frequency and powerline signals, two properly installed SignaLinc RFs will also act as powerline signal repeaters, maximizing the reliability of your INSTEON network.

    Upgrade the lighting in your home with the world's only dual-band network technology: INSTEON. Not only is INSTEON a powerful, home-control networking technology, it will enhance the comfort, safety, convenience and value of your home. The dual-band network quickly and reliably transmits INSTEON messages throughout the home both wirelessly (using the SignaLinc RFs) and through the home's existing wiring. What is INSTEON?
