About Your Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer
The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer (Figure 1) is a high quality light-switch/dimmer that not only allows for local rocker
switch control of a lighting load but also incorporates UPB™ two-way powerline communication technology that gives it the
ability to be remotely controlled by other UPB™ compatible controllers. The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch is highly configurable
to allow for behaviors customized to each individual’s desires. The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch is capable of storing up to
16 preset light levels and fade rates to create powerful lighting scenes. The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch is also capable of
transmitting UPB™ messages (including a current light level report) when rocker switch events occur. The Leviton UPB™
Wall Switch is capable of being set to a non-dimming mode in order to control such loads as fluorescent lights.
Using Your Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer
The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer is packed full of different options and configurations that can be programmed into it
using the UPB™ UPStart configuration software. This section will describe the operation of the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch
Dimmer in its factory default configuration. Please refer to the section entitled "Configuring the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch
Dimmer" for a description of the many other configuration options available.
Using Your Leviton Auxiliary Switch
The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch can (optionally) be connected to one or more Leviton Auxiliary Switch producing three,
four, or five-way lighting circuits. Each Leviton Auxiliary Switch has a Decora
®
rocker switch that can be used to control the
lighting load of the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch in the same way as previously described in Table 2.
About Your 37A00-1 Leviton Auxiliary Switch
The 37A00-1 Leviton Auxiliary Switch (Figure 2) is a low cost (optional) companion device to the Leviton UPB™ Wall
Switch. The 37A00-1 has a rocker switch that controls the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch in the same exact way that its local
rocker switch does.
Figure 2 – 37A00-1 Leviton Auxiliary Switch
Installation Instructions
The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer is wired directly to the lighting circuit and can (optionally) be controlled by one or
more Leviton Auxiliary Switch producing three, four, or five-way circuits. Multi-way circuits make it possible for a group of
switches to control the same set of lights. This section will illustrate how to hook-up the connections.
NOTES:
1. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 to determine the wire colors of the hook-up.
2. All Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmers require a neutral (white) connection.
3. Leviton Auxiliary Switches require that the Line (black) wire be accessible. This wire may be connected to either phase
of the 120/240V supply.
4. The blue and/or gray wire on the Leviton Auxiliary Switch Dimmer can be connected to either earth ground or neutral.
The blue and/or gray wire serves only to light the LED on the Auxiliary Switch. This LED does not indicate anything
except that power is applied and to serve as a night-light.
AIR-GAP SWITCH
The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch rocker switch has an air-gap switch that will remove all power from the load for safe
installation and bulb replacement. To activate the air-gap switch firmly press the rocker bottom until you hear a loud "click"
or you see the SYSTEM "OFF" label on the top rocker.
Installation Procedure
1. Remove the faceplate from the existing wall switch.
2. Unscrew and pull the existing wall switch out of the wall box.
3. Disconnect the wires from the existing wall switch. Identify the "Line", "Neutral", "Load" and "Traveler" wires.
4. Install the 5 connecting wires per wiring configuration shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: Be sure that the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch is in the SYSTEM "OFF" position by firmly pressing the Rocker
Bottom until you click the air-gap switch to the open position or you see the SYSTEM "OFF" label on top of the Rocker.
5. Optionally install any Leviton Auxiliary Switch per wiring configuration shown in Figure 3.
6. After all connections have been made, be certain that all wire connectors are firmly attached and there is no exposed
copper.
7. Gently place the wires and Wall Switch into the wall box, with light emitting diode (LED) at the top of device, and screw
in place.
8. Before installing the faceplate, restore power to the circuit, and firmly press the top of the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch
Dimmer until it snaps out of the SYSTEM "OFF" position.
9. After testing the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer for proper local operation (per Table 2), install the faceplate
cover(s) to the outside of the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer(s).

De-rating Information
For a proper fit in a multiple gang installation, it may be necessary to remove one or both sides (break-off tabs) from the
mounting plate (see Figure 1). When tabs are removed, the overall rating of the device must be reduced in accordance
with the following chart:
NOTE: When the 55A00-1 is mounted in a normal depth wall box it must also be de-rated from 1000W down to 900W.
