Owner’s Manual
FUNCTION
The LM2 Lamp Module is a high quality plug-in home
automation load controller that is capable of controlling two
channels of 120VAC incandescent lamps based on digital
commands received over the power wiring from a remote
UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) controller. The module will
turn lamps ON and OFF, and will also act as a light dimmer.
UPB controllers and modules can be freely located anywhere
throughout the home. No additional wiring is required and
no radio frequency signals are used for communication.

INSTALLATION
The Lamp Module is designed for indoor use with devices that
plug into a grounded power outlet. To install the LM2 module:
1. Locate the lamp(s) to be controlled and unplug them from
the wall outlet.
2. Plug the LM2 into the wall outlet (see illustration below). An
optional screw is provided for securing the LM2 to the
center screw hole of the wall outlet.
3. Plug the lamp(s) into the socket on the bottom of the lamp
module. The lamp rating (or combined rating of multiple
connected lamps) must not exceed 800 watts.
4. Turn the lamp power switch(es) to their ON position.
If desired, other devices can be plugged into the pass-thru outlet
sockets on the front of the lamp module, which are always
powered.
CAUTION: Do not insert metal objects into the module while it is
connected to power.

Installation Guide and
Owner’s Manual
CONFIGURATION
Once your LM2 is installed it can be configured either
manually or with the UPStart Setup Software.
Manual configuration can be used to add your LM2 device
into a UPB network, link it to controller buttons and change
preset light levels. Refer to the Keypad Controller’s Manual
Configuration Guide available on the PulseWorx website
(www.PulseWorx.com) for more details.
Although the factory default operation of the LM2 is useful in
many situations, it is highly recommended that your device
be configured with the UPStart Setup Software so that you
can take advantage of its many configurable features.
PCS has developed a Powerline Interface Module (PIM) and
free software (UPStart) to help you configure all of your
PulseWorx Lighting System devices. User’s Guides are
available on the PulseWorx web site: www.PulseWorx.com to
explain how to configure your system.
Note: The LM2 can be configured to disable the dimmer so it
can turn ON and OFF non-dimmable loads such as
fluorescent lamps.
SETUP Mode
When configuring a UPB system, it will be necessary to place
the LM2 in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program
Button (see illustration) five times rapidly. The Status LED
will continuously blink Blue when the device is in SETUP
mode. To exit SETUP mode, press the Program Button once
or wait five minutes for it to time out.
OPERATION
The Lamp Module operates according to commands sent by
UPB controllers.
The LM2 can accept powerline commands from any UPB-
compatible transmitter such as PulseWorx Keypad
Controllers, Timed Event Controllers, Wall Switches, Interface
Modules, Approved Third-Party Controllers and touch
screens. Each channel of the LM2 can be a member of up to
16 scenes with the capability to store a pre-set light level (0%
- 100%, or blink) and fade/blink rate for each scene.
Lamp Switch Triggers
The LM1will sense when the local lamp switch has gone from
opened to closed and can automatically turn on the lamp
when this occurs.
AUTO-OFF Timers
New for Generation 2 is the ability to set a maximum on time. If
you forget to shut the lamp off yourself then the lamp module
will do it for you automatically. The LM2 can be configured to
inform the rest of the network when it has automatically turned
the lamp off. This allows the LM2 to remotely control other
devices or update feedback indicators such as LEDs.
TEST Mode
A manual test feature allows the lamp to be turned ON and OFF
locally. To enable the TEST mode press and hold the Program
Button on the LM2 for three to five seconds. The Status LED
will blink Magenta to indicate TEST mode. Lamp #1 can now be
turned ON and OFF by single-tapping the Program Button.
Lamp #2 can be turned ON and OFF by double-tapping the
Program Button. Press and hold the Program Button again for at
least three seconds to exit from TEST mode.
Factory Default Settings
To restore the following default settings put the LM2 into SETUP
mode and then press the Program Button ten times rapidly. The
Status LED will blink red to indicate that factory defaults have
been restored. Press the Program Button twice more to stop the
blinking.
