Setting the Ramp Rate 
The Ramp Rate sets the time it will take for the light you are controlling to go from OFF to the On-Level 
brightness, or from the On-Level brightness to OFF.  This time is adjustable from 0.1 to 9 seconds to 
ramp between full-ON and full-OFF.  The default is 0.1 second. 
1.  Hold down SwitchLinc Dimmer’s Paddle Top or Paddle Bottom to adjust the Ramp Rate of the 
controlled light.  Adjust the Ramp Rate to be faster by brightening the light, or adjust it to be slower by 
dimming the light.  The table below gives the approximate relationship between the brightness you 
set and the Ramp Rate you get.

NOTE 
 
If the light is ramping to 
less than full brightness, 
then the time it will take 
will be proportionately 
less.  For instance, if the 
light is going to half 
brightness, the time it will 
take for a given Ramp 
Rate will be halved. 
2.  Double-press the SET Button at the bottom of the paddle. 
3.  SwitchLinc Dimmer will flash the controlled light once to confirm the Ramp Rate setting. 
 
BE CAREFUL 
 
If you got two flashes of the light, you didn’t double-press the SET Button fast enough, and
SwitchLinc Dimmer incorrectly thought you set up the On-Level twice.  Re-set the correct On-
Level and try the Ramp Rate setting again. 
Locking In a Remote-Controlled On-Level and Ramp Rate 
Whenever you link an INSTEON Controller to SwitchLinc Dimmer, the current On-Level and Ramp Rate 
values are stored in SwitchLinc Dimmer’s memory.  So, locking in a remote-controlled On-Level and 
Ramp Rate is really just the same as linking.  Just follow the instructions in the sectioLinking an 
INSTEON Controller to SwitchLinc Dimmer
, above. 
Linking an INSTEON Controller to SwitchLinc Dimmer restores the previous values for the Local On-Level 
and Local Ramp Rate.  So, linking does not affect the Local On-Level and Ramp Rate. 
Locking In a Local On-Level and Ramp Rate 
To lock in the current On-Level and Ramp Rate as the Local On-Level and Ramp Rate, all you have to do 
is not link SwitchLinc Dimmer to an INSTEON Controller for four minutes.  After the four-minute timeout, 
the current On-Level and current Ramp Rate will be permanently locked in as the Local On-Level and 
Local Ramp Rate.
