Overview
The Aero Power Sensor (UAPS) activates other Aero controllers based on the
connected circuit being powered. The UAPS also acts as a wireless signal
repeater.
The UAPS controls other Aero Controllers based on the presence of power.
When power is present, the UAPS sends a wireless signal to activate linked
controllers.

Placement and Radio Range
The UAPS is intended for use with Aero wireless controllers. Consideration
should be made for locating the controllers based on the construction materials
and furniture that may disrupt transmissions. Fire doors, elevator shafts,
stairwells, storage areas and any large metal objects can create radio shadows
and disrupt wireless transmissions.
It is recommended that other controllers be placed with in 50 feet (15m) of the
UAPS controller for optimal performance.

Installation
The UAPS mounts inside an electrical junction box or panel at the electrical
source. This UAPS can also be mounted directly behind an outlet or switch.
Step 1: Locate the circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to the circuit.
Step 2: Remove face plates and other hardware from the junction box, gaining
access to the high voltage wiring.
Step 3: The UAPS mounts inside the junction box or panel.
WARNING:
Risk of electric shock! The UAPS utilizes high voltage
and should only be installed by a qualified installer or
electrician. Follow all local codes for installation.
Before terminating the AC power wiring verify the main
breaker is in the off position and follow the proper
lockout/tag out procedures per NFPA Standard 70E.
WARNING:
For indoor use only! Must install in an electrical
junction box or wire way.
CAUTION:
The UAPS has an orange external antenna that extends off
one end of the unit. Do not cut, cap, or connect this wire.
Note:
Follow all local code requirements for terminating wiring.
Notice the harness wires on the controller unit are pre-stripped
for your installation convenience.

to connect power to the controller.
a: Connect the black wire to the line input feed wire.
b: Connect the white wire to the incoming Neutral wire.
Step 5: Replace the junction box face plate and hardware.
