PulseWorx UPB Fixture Modules (FDM2-4 / FRM1-20) — Specifications

Specification sheet for PulseWorx UPB Fixture Modules — the FDM2-4 Dimming Fixture Module and FRM1-20 Relay Fixture Module, both part of the PulseWorx Universal Powerline Bus (UPB™) Lighting Control System.

Overview

Both Fixture Modules mount on any standard electrical box by snapping into a standard ½-inch knockout, making them easy to retrofit into existing homes for remote control capability. The Dimming Module handles incandescent and magnetic low-voltage lighting; the Relay Module handles appliances and fluorescent lighting.

• The FDM2-4 Dimming Fixture Module is a dual-load device rated 400W max for a single load, or two loads totaling up to 400W combined.
• The FRM1-20 Relay Fixture Module is an inline module for any appliance or fluorescent fixture rated under 20A.

Features

• 400W power delivery — Dimming modules support a single load up to 400W or two loads totaling 400W
• 20A control — Relay modules support a single load up to 20A
• Simple installation — snap into any standard ½" knockout
• Low cost — a fraction of the cost of hardwired or RF alternatives
• UPB communication reliability — over 100x more reliable than typical powerline products
• Scene control — stores 16 lighting levels (or On/Off state for non-dimming devices) per circuit; up to 16 scenes per circuit and over 250 scenes per house
• Internal dimming/on-off setting — user-selectable operating mode for the Dimming module
• Variable fade rates — from Instant-on to 60 minutes
• Security flashing mode — flashes lights on/off when triggered by a UPB command
• Inductive load control — dims low-voltage lights powered by magnetic transformers, fans, and motors
• Previous state restored — light returns to its previous state after a power loss
• Advanced programming — customize fade rates and other UPB light settings

Installation

• Pre-wire: Pull power wiring to include Line and Neutral. Run two 120VAC, 12 or 14 AWG rated wires to each fixture module location.
• Mounting: Mount in an appropriate junction box; snaps into any standard ½-inch knockout.
