You don't need to be an electrician to install the INSTEON KeypadLinc in the Keypad Tabletop Enclosure. Installation takes under 10 minutes! Simply follow the included quick-start guide to connect each wire on your KeypadLinc to the corresponding wire on the included power cord. Wire nuts are included for ease of use. Plug the Keypad Tabletop Enclosure into any non-switched outlet. You'll be able to link the individual keypad buttons to lights or groups of lights in your home for remote control of lights and scenes at the press of a button. Once configured, this portable controller can be unplugged and moved anywhere in your home without losing its programming.
You'll be able to personalize your KeypadLinc buttons at any time by purchasing a set of six or eight custom-etched buttons. If you already know you want to take advantage of this option, you can purchase the KeypadLinc with custom-etched buttons pre-installed in the Tabletop Enclosure (choose the six- or eight-button set).
The Keypad Tabletop Enclosure is also available to be purchased separately. This set is also available in white; choose the color that best complements your décor.
You can also easily change this 6-button KeypadLinc to an 8-button keypad using the Black 8 Button Change Kit for KeypadLinc.
