FUNCTION
The X10 to UPB Bridge (model
PW513) is a plug-in home
automation interface that is
capable of receiving X-10
messages from a standard (PL-
513) 4-wire cable and
transmitting their corresponding
Universal Powerline Bus (UPB)
messages onto the power wiring
to remotely turn on, off, and dim
other UPB devices. The PW513
can be freely located anywhere a wall outlet exists throughout
the home. No additional wiring is required and no radio
frequency signals are used for communication.
FEATURES:
•Simple plug-in installation.
•Adds UPB ultra reliability to any X-10 compatible
controller.
•Converts A-1 thru P-15 to UPB Links 1-255.
•Flexible configuration of command mapping.

INSTALLATION
The PW513 is designed for indoor use with devices that plug
into a grounded power outlet. To install the PW513 module:
1. Locate any free wall outlet near your X-10 controller.
2. Plug the PW513 into the wall outlet (see illustration).
3. Optionally, the device can be secured to the wall outlet
by screwing the wall plate center screw through the
device’s mounting tab.
4. Use a pass through telephone type cable to connect the
PW513 to your X-10 controller or alarm panel.

OPERATION
Once installed and configured your PW513 will operate on the
stored configuration settings without further user intervention.
All programmed data is protected by nonvolatile memory and can
only be changed or deleted by reprogramming, regardless of
power outage durations.
Device Code Mapping
In the X-10 world devices are selected to be operated upon using
the Device Code Message. The Device Code Message contains two
fields: the X-10 House Code (A – P), and the X-10 Unit Code (1 –
16) that are intended to identify a device (or set of devices) to act
upon the upcoming Function Code message. In the UPB world
devices are selected to be operated upon using the Link ID. Link
IDs can range from 0 to 255 and they are intended to identify a
device (or set of devices) to act upon the upcoming Message Data.
Note: All PulseWorx™ dimmers come from the factory assigned
with Link IDs 1 – 6 & 8. All PulseWorx™ switches come from the
factory assigned with Link IDs 1 and 2.
The PW513 uses the received X-10 Device Code Message to map
to a UPB Link ID as shown in Table 1 below.

In the X-10 world devices are commanded to perform an
operation using the Function Code message. In the UPB world
devices are commanded to perform an operation using UPB
Commands.
The PW513 uses the received X-10 Function Code Message to

Note: The above Device Code and Command Code mappings
can be modified using UPStart Software.
CONFIGURATION
Network ID
In the case where your neighbor has a PulseWorx™ system
installed you will need to move your PulseWorx™ devices to a
different Network ID. Although the UPStart Setup Software
can be used to easily change your Network ID the PW513 also
has the ability, using its Program Button, to change its own
Network ID and teach it to your other devices.
Changing the Network ID
The user can manually change the Network ID of his PW513
using the following procedure:
1. Tap the Program Button 5 times. The PW513 status
LED will blink green.
2. Tap the Program Button 5more times. The PW513
status LED will blink blue/red to indicate that a new
Network ID has been chosen.
3. Tap the Program Button 1 more time. The PW513
status LED will stop blinking.
Teaching the Network ID
The user can teach the Network ID of the PW513 to other
PulseWorx™ devices using the following procedure:
1. Tap the PW513 Program Button 5times. The PW513
status LED will blink green.
2. Place any other PulseWorx™ devices into Setup Mode.
Consult the product documentation for how to do this.
Note: Most devices enter Setup Mode by tapping the
device’s pushbutton or rocker switch 5times.
3. Each device’s status LED will start blinking to indicate
that it is in Setup Mode. Note: PulseWorx™ devices
automatically time out of Setup Mode after 5 minutes.
4. Tap the PW513 Program Button 3 more times. The
status LED of the PW513 (and all other devices) will stop
blinking to indicate that it is done teaching (and they are
done learning) the Network ID.
UPStart Configuration
PCS has developed a Powerline Interface Module (PIM) and free
software (UPStart) to help you configure all of your PulseWorx
Lighting System devices. The UPStart User’s Guide (available on
the PulseWorx web site: www.PulseWorx.com) explains how to
configure your system using the UPStart tool.
SETUP Mode
When configuring a UPB system, it will be necessary to place the
PW513 in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program Button (see
illustration) 5times 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.
Factory Default Settings
To restore the following default settings put the PW513 into
SETUP mode and then press the Program Button 10 times rapidly.
The Status LED will blink red to indicate that factory defaults have
been restored. Tap the Program Button 2more times to stop the
blinking.
