4) Continue to link additional INSTEON devices using step 3 above, or end the linking session by holding
the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 for
3-4
seconds.
Stopping (Unlinking) an INSTEON Responder Device from being controlled by the EZIO2X4
1) Put the EZIO2X4 in unlinking mode by pressing its pushbutton and releasing it after
10-12
seconds. The
EZIO2X4 will turn off its LED indicating it is waiting to be told which input the INSTEON device is to
be unlinked from.
2) Tap the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 a number of times corresponding to the input to be unlinked (e.g.
once for input 1, twice for input 2, etc.) After the last tap, press the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and
release it after
18-20
seconds. Its LED will begin to flash about once per second indicating it is listening
for an INSTEON device to unlink from.
3) On the INSTEON device to be unlinked, press its pushbutton and release it after
3-4
seconds (or use
method specific to device.) A successful unlink will be indicated by a flash of the LED on the controlled
device (device specific) and by the LED on the EZIO2X4 turning on solidly.
Triggering EZIO2X4 Inputs from another INSTEON Controller
1) Put controller in linking mode by holding the button to be used for controlling until it indicates linking
mode (4-10 seconds depending on controller.) Usually its LED will blink or a light connected to it will
flash.
2) Hold the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and release it after
3-4
seconds. The LED on the EZIO2X4 will
turn off when the link is established with the controller. The controller will also give an indication of a
successful link by flashing its LED or a load connected to it.
3) The EZIO2X4 must be told which input to link by tapping the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 a number of
times corresponding to the input number (e.g. once for input 1, twice for input 2, etc.) After the last tap,
press the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and release it after
10-12
seconds. Its LED will turn on solidly
indicating the end of the linking process.
Controlling the Relays with an INSTEON Controller
1) Put controller in linking mode by holding the button to be used for controlling until it indicates linking
mode (4-10 seconds depending on controller.) Usually its LED will blink or a light connected to it will
flash.
2) Hold the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and release it after
3-4
seconds. The LED on the EZIO2X4 will
turn off when the link is established with the controller. The controller will also give an indication of a
successful link by flashing its LED or a load connected to it.
3) To link the current status of all the relays (status snapshot) to be recalled by a command from the con-
troller, hold the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and release it after
3-4
seconds. The LED on the
EZIO2X4 will turn on solidly indicating the end of the linking process.
4) Alternatively to step 3 above, an individual relay is linked by tapping the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 a
number of times corresponding to the relay number (e.g. once for relay 1, twice for relay 2, etc.) After
the last tap, press the pushbutton on the EZIO2X4 and release it after
3-4
seconds. Its LED will turn on
solidly indicating the end of the linking process.
Unlinking the Relays from an INSTEON Controller
1) Follow the instructions specific to the INSTEON controller in use to place it in unlinking mode.
2) On the EZIO2X4, press its pushbutton and release it after
3-4
seconds. Its LED will flash briefly and
then go solid indicating a successful unlink. The LED on the controller will also go solid.
About the Links Database
The EZIO2X4 maintains an internal table of up to 30 links where the information on each linked device is
stored. The database can be accessed and altered with the use of our PC utility such that links can be en-
tered, modified or deleted without having to use the “press and hold” method described earlier.
Controlling the Relays with X10 Controllers
Although only four X10 units are used, EZIO2X4 allocates all 16 units of a house code. Relays 1 and 2
respond to commands on X10 units 1 and 2. To setup the unit to respond to X10 commands follow
these steps:
1) Press and hold the set-button and release it after about 4 seconds—the LED will now blink at a low
rate;
2) Enter an ON (or OFF for disabling) command from your X10 controller—the LED will stop flashing
indicating X10 enabling or disabling was successful. The outputs will now respond to X10 ON and
OFF commands.
To disable X10 control, substitute an OFF command in step 2 above.
Restoring All Parameters to Default (Factory Reset)
To restore all settings to their original factory values, unplug your EZIO8T for about 10 seconds. Then,
plug it back in WHILE HOLDING THE PUSH BUTTON for about 10 seconds. Upon release of the
push button, the unit will go through the normal power on sequence, and all parameters will be reset.
Example Application: Complete Garage Manager
In this example the EZIO2X4 is used to monitor the state of a garage door (open or closed) and to con-
trol the manual switch that activates the door opener. EZIO2X4 is set up to send an INSTEON ON
group command to a set of devices when the door is open, and an OFF command some minutes later.
The door open detection can also be programmed to send a command to close the door through one of
the EZIO2X4 relays some minutes later if the door is detected to be open. A readily available magneti-
cally activated sensor (reed switch type) is used as a door open/close sensor. This switch simply closes
when next to a magnet, and opens when away from the magnet. Our setup PC utility is used to config-
ure the links, the response of the inputs and the relay timer. Simply follow the steps below:
1. The picture on the right shows a typical magnetically activated sensor/
switch. Some may come with wires already terminated, and others, as the
one pictured, come with screw terminals. Connect I1+ to the +5V terminal
and I1– to one wire of the door sensor. Connect the other sensor wire to the
GND terminal.
2. Connect the two wires from the opener pushbutton to the R1_A and R1_B
terminals on the EZIO2X4.
3. Link INSTEON devices to respond to door open or close events by following the steps in the section
“Controlling One or Multiple INSTEON Devices with Signals on the Inputs”. It is possible to
link one or several INSTEON devices (lights, sirens, telephone dialers, etc.) that will be given com-
mands when the door opens or closes.
4. If needed, use the set up utility to set the ON to OFF (door opening) and/or OFF to ON (door clos-
ing) commands to be sent. INSTEON commands are 13 00 for “Rapid OFF” and 11 FF for “Rapid
ON”.
5. Programming Relay 1 to Activate the Door Opener Switch: Use the setup utility to a) set the
output timers in seconds; b) program the output 1 timer to 2 seconds; and c) establish a link to have
output 1 respond to group 1.
