PCS PulseWorx UPB Wall Controller, 8 Button

Transmit & Receive Digital Commands

The PCS Wall Mount 8 Button UPB Keypad Controller is a high quality home automation keypad device that is capable of transmitting and receiving digital commands and status over the existing powerlines. The 8 Button Keypad can control single lights, trigger dramatic scenes, or send messages to a central controller.

Select from 16 commands to be transmitted when each pushbutton is tapped, double-tapped, held or released. This allows the KPC to remotely control other UPB-compatible devices and/or update feedback indicators (like LEDs).

This Controller is a wire-in wall mounted device. Installation is simple – just mount in a wall box and connect to line and neutral.

Like all PulseWorx devices, the KPCW can be initially configured using PCS's free UPStart Setup Software tool. UPStart enables configuring such parameters as Network Name, Network ID, Unit ID, Room name, Device name, default on light levels, fade rates, LED colors, dimming disable, auto shut-off time, etc. as well as test the operation and communication strength of the device. UPStart has the option to configure an entire network off-line and then download the information into the devices after they are installed in the home.

NOTE: Wallplate not included.

UPB PulseWorx Lighting Control System

An integral part of a complete PulseWorx Lighting Control System, this device uses the patented UPB powerline communication technology (invented by PCS) to reliably communicate with any other UPB-compatible devices over the existing house electrical wires. No new wires are necessary, thus making PulseWorx perfect for retrofit situations. When initial configuration is complete, a single push of a button is all you need to activate any group of lights (or virtually anything else that connects to AC power wiring) throughout the house simultaneously.
