PLCGuy Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I have an old Insteon 2486D KPL in an area that recently underwent some renovations. Now my EISY won't connect to it. I noticed the electrician never connected the red load wire, which makes sense as I don't think it was connected before - I can't think of a light the KPL might have controlled directly. However maybe it was connected - can a KPL work without a load? If so, what should I do with the red wire. Just cap it off?

atmarosi Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I run most if not all without a load. Just cap it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just cap it Off. Not capped of could be a problem if it accidentally shorted to something else. Is a common practice even some manuals show that fact to just use the module to control other modules. It is a power line only Insteon Module. If the renovations changed the wiring. You now have a new power line noise maker or signal sucker. That maybe what you are now seeing. As a test or maybe a fix. Depending on having a plug in Dual Band module. Try plugging in a Dual Band module on the KPL's circuit and see if it then can be accessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLCGuy Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Thanks everyone. I removed the KPL and wired it to a line voltage pigtail. It appears to be toast. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
