FUNCTION
The KPLC7 PRC Load Controller together with the RM-0-10V
receiving module allows for changing the illumination level of
a 10-10V controlled LED fixture. It can also transmit and
receive UPB® (Universal Powerline Bus) digital commands over
the existing power wiring to remotely turn on, off, and dim
other UPB load control devices. No additional wiring is
required and no radio frequency signals are used for
communication.
In the default configuration, the buttons do not transmit UPB
commands but only control the LED fixture attached to the
RM-0-10V receiving module. The buttons can be changed to
transmit using the UPB configuration program UPStart.
Models
The KPLC7 can be mounted in any wall box that contains
neutral, line, load and ground wires. Available colors are
White, Black, and Light Almond.
Engraved Buttons
The KPLC7 has white backlit buttons engraved with the
designations of: Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, Scene 4, Off, and
an Up Arrow and Down Arrow. Custom Engraved buttons
(model CEB) are available enabling you to tailor each button
for its particular use. Consult your dealer or our website
(www.pcslighting.com) for CEB ordering information.

CONFIGURATION
Once your KPLC7 is installed it can be configured either
manually or with UPStart Configuration Software Refer to the
Keypad Controller’s Manual Configuration Guide available on
the PCS website for further details on Manual configuration to
add your KPL device into a UPB network and link it to various
load control devices.
Although the factory default operation of the KPLC7 is very
useful in many situations, it is recommended that you program
your KPLC7 with a Powerline Interface Module (PIM) and
UPStart Configuration Software to take advantage of its many
configurable features. User Guides are available on our
website, if you need further assistance on how to configure
your system.

same buttons for 3 seconds or wait five minutes for time out.
Controlling additional PulseWorx devices
The KPLC7, in addition to controlling the LED fixture attached
to the RM-0-10V receiving module, it can be configured to
work with other PulseWorx® Lighting System devices. To do
this you must use the UPB Configuration Software UPStart and
enable the keypad pushbuttons to transmit.

Once installed and configured the KPLC7 will operate with the
stored configuration settings. Single-tap, double-tap, hold, or
