Essential Information: Fill your entire home with personalized mood lighting for any occasion. The ToggleLinc V2 Relay allows you to include fluorescent or non-dimmable lights, fans, and other appliances in your INSTEON network. The ToggleLinc Relay is made to run silently no matter what kind of device you connect to it. The ToggleLinc V2 Relay functions only as an on/off switch. If you need a dimmable switch to control incandescent bulbs, low-voltage halogen (e.g. track), and other low-voltage lights with magnetic or dimmable electronic transformers, use the ToggleLinc V2 Dimmer (2466DW) which si available in our store.
How many times have you jumped into bed and forgotten to turn the lights off? With the ToggleLinc V2 Relay's remote control ability, you can have the convenience of adding a bedside controller to turn off your lights after you get into bed. Never come home to a dark house again: Install HouseLinc Desktop Software on your computer to schedule any ToggleLinc V2 Relay or any other INSTEON-enabled device to turn on or off at any specific time or even at sunrise and sunset. A pair of SignaLinc RFs should be installed to ensure INSTEON network reliability. The ToggleLinc relay can control a 480-watt incandescent load or 13A resistive load.
Details and Specifications:
Easy To Install The ToggleLinc V2 Relay is so easy to install and set up and yet so affordable, you'll want to replace all your switches with ToggleLincs. Just remove the old switch, reattach the existing line, load, ground, and neutral wires using the included wire nuts, and you're done. Learn more about INSTEON here.
Beautiful, High-Quality Construction Unlike other switches, the ToggleLinc V2 Relay offers the natural feel of high-end dimmers. The ToggleLinc V2 Relay is designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and goes through over 10 quality-control tests before arriving at your doorstep. The white status LED indicates the current status of the device being controlled. When the ToggleLinc Relay is turned off, the white LED illuminates to help with finding the switch in the dark. Don't forget to order a matching wall plate.
Built with a Quieter Relay Because the ToggleLinc V2 Relay is built with a much quieter relay than most remote-control ON/OFF switches, it has a click that's more than 80 percent quieter than traditional relay switches. This allows you to control lights and other non-dimmable devices remotely without waking up the baby, annoying other family members, or sending your cat fleeing across the room. The click of the ToggleLinc's internal relay is barely audible.
Generates Less Heat Unlike triac-based dimmers, ToggleLinc V2 Relay uses a hard-contact relay to control the load. Other switches may use a semiconductor that absorbs about two volts of power and dissipates the heat through the front of the switch. By using a relay, the switch runs cooler and full voltage gets to the load.
Create Multi-Way Circuits The ToggleLinc V2 Relay allows you to customize your lighting setup no matter how your house is wired, even if the original switches were never wired for multi-way control. It's simple to create a 3-, 4-, or 5-way circuit. First replace all of the existing switches you want to include in the circuit with ToggleLinc Relays. The main relay must be connected to the standard wires: load, line, neutral, and ground. The secondary relays only need to be connected to line, neutral, and ground. No traveler wires are needed, so it is easy to place one of the relays wherever you need it. Cross-linking all of the companion relays to the master relay is the last step in the process. The end result is a flexible, fully functional multi-way circuit.
Scene Lighting Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the ToggleLinc V2 Relay can be a member of more than 400 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various lighting scenarios with a single button press. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. The relays can blend seamlessly in a scene with ToggleLinc Dimmers. So one set of lights connected to a ToggleLinc V2 Dimmer can slowly dim, while another set connected to the ToggleLinc V2 Relay turns off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button. If you want to control multiple scenes from one controller, upgrade to the KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer.
Compatibility ToggleLinc V2 Relay is fully INSTEON compatible and X10 ready. Homeowners with existing X10 networks can easily migrate to an INSTEON network without having to discard all their existing X10 devices. X10 ready means that it can respond to X10 commands from an X10 controller and it can send X10 commands to X10 devices. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.
Non-Erasable Memory All ToggleLinc V2 Relay settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures.
Network Reliability 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.
Certifications and Warranty All ToggleLinc V2 products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9002 certified. In order to meet the ISO 9002 standards, the entire factory underwent rigorous inspections of procedures and policies before being certified. The certification received was based on its dedication to high-quality management systems and strict adherence of quality control systems and guidelines.

Owner's Manual:
What is INSTEON™?
|
INSTEON, developed by SmartLabs, is defining the future of the home control network with a revolutionary technology that gives you the power to control your home simply and affordably, while giving you more dependability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market.
|
Award Winning  |
INSTEON is: affordable, reliable, simple to use. It is the world's:
- Most affordable (products start at $19.99 & up)
- Most reliable (near 100%)
- Simplest to use
- Best selling remote control & home automation networking technology.
How does INSTEON work? INSTEON's unsurpassed reliability is due to its dual-mesh network, which means that messages between devices are sent both wirelessly through Radio Frequency (RF) and through your home's existing electrical wiring. Every message is confirmed as it is received, and if any errors are detected, the message is automatically resent. The network is also redundant; every device on an INSTEON network receives and sends every message to every other device, so instead of stressing the network by adding more INSTEON devices, you actually strengthen it.
- INSTEON sends signals both through the air (RF) and over the home's electrical wires (powerline)
- Every INSTEON device has its own unique ID (similar to a serial address) so your neighbors can't control your home
- Every INSTEON device is a repeater - so the signal gets through every time
- Every INSTEON message is confirmed, or the transmitter will automatically retry until a confirmation is received
- INSTEON messages take less than 5 / 100ths of a second to get through - so things turn "on" instantly (INSTEON = instant-on)
- No central controller or networking setup is required - a simple plug-n-tap™? is all that is required to link one INSTEON product to another
- X10 Ready - each INSTEON product can be given one or more X10 addresses allowing X10 controllers to control it as well as allowing it to be used as an X10 controller
- For a detailed description of what INSTEON is and how it works technically please see http://www.insteon.net or http://www.insteon.net/pdf/insteonthedetails.pdf.
What are some popular uses of INSTEON? Because INSTEON was developed specifically for home control and automation, the possibilities of an INSTEON network are limited only by your imagination and the types of INSTEON-enabled devices on your network. Let your garage door opener tell your kitchen lights to come on, or let the "play" button on your remote simultaneously close the blinds, dim the lights and turn on the surround sound. Don't settle for a smoke alarm that simply alerts you, insist on one that will illuminate your family's exit route. Whether you're looking for a basic lighting control system or envision a fully integrated and automated Home of Tomorrow, if you can dream it, you can do it with INSTEON.
- Press a single button on the remote control next to your bed to turn off all the lights in your house
- Create a dinner-time, party-time or other whole-house scenes
- Create a pathway to safety for young family members by scheduling lights to turn on when the smoke detector is triggered
- Reduce energy costs by setting fans to turn on and blinds to close instead of triggering the air conditioning when thermostats reach a designated set point
- Receive an instant text message on your cell phone when a leak is detected in the basement
What is INSTEON used for?
- Scene and remote control lighting
- Security alarm interfaces and sensors
- Home sensors (e.g. water, humidity, temperature)
- Access control (e.g. door locks)
- Heating and cooling (HVAC) control and management
- Audio-video control
- Appliance management
- Fire alarm system networking
- Exhaust fan control and networking
- Irrigation control
- Shade and blind control
Where Did INSTEON Come from? INSTEON was developed at SmartLabs Technologies over 5 years of R&D and testing.

How Reliable is INSTEON? Nearly 100%. Over 10 million signal packets were tested in over 100 homes across America. A near-perfect success rate of over 99.97% was measured. Each INSTEON message contains error detection, so lights turning on accidentally will virtually never happen. Each message must be confirmed or automatic retries will be made - making sure that your message gets through. Since every INSTEON-enabled product is a repeater, the reliability increases as you install more INSTEON-enabled products.
Affordable Perhaps the most remarkable thing about INSTEON is its affordability. INSTEON can be integrated into any number of products easily and at a very low cost, so it will impact your life a whole lot more that it will impact your wallet. Other technologies claim to be affordable, but none of them get close to the $20 price point that INSTEON-enabled products hit.
Fast INSTEON messages get through in less than 0.05 seconds. Humans cannot see "delays" of less than about 0.20 seconds. Therefore, there are no visible delays when using INSTEON.
X10 Ready INSTEON is also compatible with X10 devices, so if you've already started putting together a home control network, you don't have to start from scratch. It's advanced digital signal processing means messages of up to 14 bytes get sent blisteringly fast, and the number of developers in the INSTEON Alliance, currently over 500, continues to grow. INSTEON-enabled products repeat INSTEON messages, but not the X10 messages. Simply put, INSTEON is on the move, and you're about to take control of your home. For good.
INSTEON was designed for messages to be repeated many times, X10 was not, making it impossible to repeat X10 messages numerous times.
