Replacing SWL

[andrew77]

Hi Guys,

Before I replace a Switchlinc I wanted to check with you guys on the behaviour of the current SWL

The current one will shut off and ramp back up randomly (sometimes when I switch another SWL int he house, other times whenever it wants)

Recently I've noticed the LED tree to the left of the paddle isn't lit and I have to air gap it to get it working again. It'll work for a bit but I'll notice the LEDs are out again a few hours later.

The model is 2476D V.27 

My next question is can i replace it with a new SWL 2477D.

That being said every time I've tried to replace a device with another device I screw it up and have to re link everything. I'm hoping to avoid that this time.

I searched the forum but haven't found a definitive description on how to do this.

If someone can send a link that would be great.

Hey Andrew

2 things:

• Did you try a factory reset and then right click on the device in the admin console and pick "restore device"?
  • I've had a couple of my insteon devices get "confused" after a few years of use when their at the edge of the electrical system and/or controlling noisy loads.
  • A factory reset may fix it.
     
• Here is the replace procedure.

For the replace choice to be available. The old and new modules have to be the same or similar type. I suspect they will be similar enough.

If the 2477D choice does not show up for replacing the 2476D. Then they are not similar enough.

I know the 2635-222 On/Off module was not shown as a replacement. When I tried to replace a 2456S ApplianceLinc.

Hi Paul,

 

I tried the reset option first.

I pulled the tab out and then held it in for  10 seconds (maybe longer) Theres no beep as its an older SWL

When I let go the light kept ramping on and off.

I'm assuming the SWL isn't acting correctly.

I'm going to replace it today but I just wanted to mention the odd behaviour,

Yeh that’s a new one for me, but you’ve tried everything I know. Hopefully the replace works for you

Ramping On and Off even after a power cycle or factory reset-restore. Sounds like the power supply is failing in the old one.

Let us know how the replacement works.
