Are lights or appliances in one area of your house having trouble receiving signals from INSTEON transmitters in another area of the house? This problem is easily correctable with the INSTEON Hardwired SignaLinc Phase Coupler (also called a signal bridge).Because most homes have 2-phase 220V power that splits into two separate 110V legs, sometimes automation commands have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other. But connect the Hardwired INSTEON SignaLinc Phase Coupler to your home's breaker box, and it will bridge INSTEON signals between the two power lines in your home easily, allowing virtually all of your automation receivers to respond to INSTEON signals.How do I Know I Need a SignaLinc? Here is an easy test you can perform to see if your home would benefit from a SignaLinc. Find the INSTEON-compatible transmitter and receiver that never seem to work together and try sending a signal between the two right now (still not working, right?). Then, turn on a 220-volt appliance, like your electric oven, clothes dryer, or central air conditioning. It has to be an all-electric appliance; turning on a gas dryer won't work. Now, go back to the transmitter and re-send the signal to that problematic module. If it now works, then you've proven that a SignaLinc will help the INSTEON signals in your home. In this test, the 220-volt appliance acted like a phase coupler.New Design, Only Two Wires to ConnectUnlike many other hardwired solutions that require a neutral connection, the Hardwired INSTEON SignaLinc Phase Coupler offers easy two-wire connection (plus the ground wire). That makes it ideal for older homes that may have a limited number of openings on the neutral bus bar. Additionally, the two-wire design allowed our engineers to improve the coupling between phases over traditional signal bridges.Can I Install it Myself?In most cases, yes. If you've ever replaced a broken circuit breaker, then you have the experience to install a phase coupler. You...
