Overview
The Aero Micro Relay Controller (UAMR) controls lighting loads when a
received input from a linked sensor or switch is changed.
The UAMR controls loads based on the following:
• switch actions from an Aero SmartClick Switch Station
• ambient light levels as monitored by an Aero Light Sensor
• occupancy state as monitored by an Aero Occupancy Sensor
• input from another Aero device

Placement and Radio Range
The UAMR is intended for use with Aero sensors and stations. 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 stations and sensors be placed with in 50 feet (15m) of
the UAMR controller for optimal performance.

Installation
The UAMR is mounted directly to an electrical junction box or panel at the load
or before the load in the circuit.
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 UAMR mounts inside the junction box or panel.
Step 4: The UAMR controller is provided with a wire harness that serves
120 - 277 VAC power requirements. Refer to the wiring diagram above
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.
c: Connect the red (relay output) to the lighting load.
Step 5: Replace the junction box face plate and hardware.
Note:
If the circuit will have an additional hard wired switch, wire the
UAMR in series before the switch.
WARNING:
Risk of electric shock! The UAMR 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 UAMR 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.

Power Up and Test
For detailed programming and configuration information, please reference the
Unison Aero 902 MHz User Programming Guide. ETC documentation is
available for free download at www.etcconnect.com.
Step 1: Restore power to the circuit.
Step 2: Test the circuit by linking a Unison Aero Wireless Switch.
a: Within radio range of the controller, press the toggle switch up (On) three
times consecutively.
b: Press the toggle switch down (Off) three times consecutively.
c: Press the toggle switch up again, three times consecutively.
Step 3: Test the controller response.
a: Press the toggle switch “Off” once. The controlled lighting should respond
by turning off.
b: Press the toggle switch “On” once. The controlled lighting should respond
by turning on.
Note:
The linking method described in “Step 2” will learn the Unison
Aero Wireless Switch to any controllers that are within radio
range that do not already have stations linked to them.
