Ordering Information

Accessory Models: V3WAY-A (Anywhere Virtual 3-Way Switch Kit), US1-V0 (Anywhere Virtual Switch), UMA-V0 (Anywhere Virtual Plug-In Relay Module), UFR-V0 (Anywhere Virtual Wire-In Relay Module), UCS-V0 (Anywhere Scheduler-Timer Controller)

Circuit Requirements

• Hot and neutral (black and white wire) power connections are required at switch and receptacle locations.
• Anywhere Switch (US1-V0) controls incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, LED, magnetic, and electronic low-voltage lighting transformers & ballasts (1W min., 900W max). Ballasts for 120VAC metal-halide or mercury/sodium fixtures may need to be isolated (see model ZNF10A). Controls 120VAC/60Hz motors up to 7.5 Amps max.
• Up to 4 separate virtual control zones can be used in a home, using the 4 available communication channels. Optionally use the Scheduler-Timer (model UCS) to add a secondary receive channel for "All On/Off".
• Switches and devices should be installed on the same circuit (breaker) for maximum communication distance. If on different circuits, they should be on the same phase (both on phase A or both on phase B).
• If using both phase A and B circuits, and the home has more than 1 breaker panel or is more than 2,500 sq ft, a phase coupler is recommended for optimum performance (see model ZPCI).
• Not intended for use in 3-phase (commercial/condo) applications unless switches are on the same breaker or phase.
• The Anywhere Series is not compatible with any of Simply Automated's PC-Configured, Pre-Configured, Simply Smart™, or other UPB/UPStart configured products.
