Section 1: Very Important Pre-Installation Notes
•Your home should be no more than 2500 square feet and have only one breaker panel. A phase
coupler is required in some home installations; especially homes > 2500 square feet or homes with
more than 1 breaker panel. See Section 5 for more information.
•Not intended for use in multi-dwelling (condo, apartment) buildings with 3-phase power.
•Do not reset to factory default configuration, pre-configured settings will be lost.
•UPStart software and a computer interface module or Scheduler-Timer can be used with a PC for
customizing pre-configured units and checking performance.
Section 2: Installation of Lamp (Dimmer) Module
Locate a lamp you would like to turn ON/OFF. Plug the lamp module into a wall outlet, then plug-in a lamp into
the socket on the bottom of the lamp module. Turn the lamp ON using the lamp’s ON/OFF switch. Leave the
lamp on (do not turn off). You're done with the installation process! If necessary, please refer to the User
Guide enclosed in the lamp module product box or see http://simply-automated.com/documents/452-0112-
0201_RevC_UML-E-W_UserGuide_090512.pdf
Test the lamp module using a 4-button scene controller. Button 3 of the Tabletop Controller with 4- or 8-buttons
(and Deluxe Dimmer with 4-buttons) is programmed from the factory to turn on each device (dimmers,
receptacles and modules) at a 100% dim level. Button 4 is programmed from the factory to turn off each device
(dimmers, receptacles and modules).
•Button 3 turns on/off each lamp module: Press (tap) button 3 one time to turn on each lamp module, press
and hold button 3 to dim each lamp module up/down, press (quickly tap) two times to turn off each lamp
module.
•Button 4 turns off each lamp module: Press (tap) button 4 one time to turn off each lamp module.
Helpful Hint: If tapping a button does not turn on a lamp, the lamp's switch may be in the off position. Go to the
lamp and turn on using the lamp's on/off switch. Tapping should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from
the button to the base sensor.
The lamp can still be turned ON/OFF manually. For manual operation of either lamp, simply turn the lamp ON,
OFF and ON again using the lamp’s ON/OFF switch.

Important Note: Each lamp module has a unique ID number. You can find the ID number on the back of
each lamp module. Model UML7 has ID #7 and model UML8 has ID #8. This is important information to
note as it relates to operation with the Scheduler-Timer accessory (sold separately).
Section 3: Editing Buttons (Scenes) on Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer) with 4-
or 8-Buttons
Each button on the Tabletop Controllers (or Deluxe Dimmers) with 4- or 8-Buttons controls a SCENE that can
easily be edited from the factory pre-sets. You can change the dimmers’ levels or number of devices controlled
by each button to create your own custom scenes!
Section 3.a. Adding a Lamp Module
Button 1. To add a lamp/dimmer module to button 1:
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press button 1
to activate the scene. If any other devices were previously set to
be controlled by button 1, check to make sure they are ON.
•Go to the lamp connected to the lamp module to be added. Turn
on using the lamps on/off switch.
•Go to the lamp module to be added, press (quickly tap) the
program switch (see illustration) 5 times using a non-metallic
toothpick to place in the program mode. The indicator will
continuously blink green to confirm the lamp module is in the
program mode.
CAUTION: When programming the lamp module, do not insert any metal object (paperclip) into
the module while it is connected to power.
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press (quickly tap) button 1 seven times. You have
created a new scene!
Helpful Hint: If tapping button 1 does not turn on the lamp module, the lamp's switch may be in the off position.
Go to the lamp and turn on using the lamp's on/off switch, repeat the three steps outlined above. Tapping
should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from the button to the base sensor.
Button 2. To add a lamp module to button 2, follow the instructions outlined above in Section 3.a. noting you
will need to press (tap) button 2 seven times to program the new scene.
Helpful Hint: After tapping five times, lamp module will stay in the program mode for approximately 5 minutes.
You can always confirm if the lamp module is in the program mode by checking for a blinking green light next to
the program switch. If the indicator is not flashing green, to place in the program mode, quickly tap the program
switch five times. To exit the program mode, quickly tap the program switch two times.
Helpful Hint: The Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer) can inadvertently be placed in the program mode by
tapping a button five times. The indicator above button 1 will continuously blink green for five minutes. To exit
the programming mode, quickly tap the button two times.
Important Note: To change the dimming level for a lamp module, refer to Section 3.c.

Section 3.b. Deleting a Lamp Module
If you would like to edit a scene and delete a lamp module from any button:
•Go to lamp module you would like to delete, press (quickly tap) the
program switch (see illustration) 5 times using a non-metallic toothpick
to place in the program mode. The indicator will continuously blink
green to confirm the lamp module is in the program mode.
CAUTION: When programming the lamp module, do not insert
any metal object (paperclip) into the module while it is
connected to power.
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press (quickly tap)
the button you would like to delete the lamp module from eight times.
Helpful Hint: If you press (tap) a button and the lamp module you deleted still turns on, repeat the two steps
outlined above. Tapping should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from the button to the base sensor.
Helpful Hint: You may add or delete as many devices as you like at one time by putting them in the program
mode at the same time. Note when adding devices to a scene or changing dim level in a scene make sure the
scene is activated first (i.e. press the button 1 time), before changing dim levels or adding a device.
Section 3.c. Changing the Dimming Level
Important Note: If you are using compact florescent or non-dimmable florescent lighting, you should
not attempt to change the dimming level. Most florescent lighting cannot be dimmed, can only be
turned on at a 100% dim level.
Button 1. To change the dimming level for lamp modules controlled by button 1:
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press button 1 to activate the scene (lamp should be on).
If any other devices were previously set to be controlled by button 1, check to make sure they are ON.
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press and hold button 1 to the desired dimming level for
the (first) lamp module. If additional lamp modules for button 1 need dim levels adjusted, then unplug this
first lamp module after the desired dimming level is adjusted.
•If another lamp module needs to be adjusted for button 1, press and hold button 1 to the desired dimming
level for this next lamp module. And then, with the lamp module at the desired dim level, unplug the lamp
module. Repeat this step for additional lamp modules as needed; unplugging each once the desired dim
level is achieved.
•Once all lamp modules have been adjusted and unplugged, go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe
Dimmer), press button 1 to activate the scene. If any devices, other than those lamp modules adjusted and
unplugged, were previously set to be controlled by button 1, check to make sure they are ON.
•Plug in all the adjusted lamp modules for scene button 1. They will resume at the dim level they were when
unplugged.
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press (quickly tap) button 1 seven times. You have
created a new scene!
•Test the button 1 scene by pressing button 1 one time to activate the scene and tapping two-times to
deactivate the scene.

Helpful Hint: If tapping button 1 does not change the dimming level, repeat the steps outlined above. Tapping
should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from the button to the base sensor.
Button 2. To change the dimming level for button 2, follow the instructions outlined above in Section 3.c. noting
you will need to press (tap) button 2 seven times to program the new scene.
Buttons 3 or 4. Button 3 is programmed to turn on both lamp modules at 100%. Button 4 is programmed to
turn off both lamp modules. We recommend not editing these buttons since all devices (up to ten
dimmers/lamp modules) in the Pre-Configured SimplySmartTM Series have similar settings -- one tap of button 3
turns all devices on, one tap of button 4 turns all devices off. This pre-programming is a very powerful and
convenient feature using both the Tabletop Controller with 4- or 8-buttons and Deluxe Dimmer with 4-buttons.
Examples include entering a home (button 3 for ALL ON), leaving a home (button 4 for ALL OFF), bedside for
security and nighttime convenience (button 3 for ALL ON or button 4 for ALL OFF).
Important Note: Buttons 1 and 2 operate independently for the Tabletop Scene Controller Accessories
(models USQT22, US2TP11 and US28OTP23) and the Tabletop Controller included with the Lamp Starter
Kit (model DKIT-02) allowing one touch button control of more than 14 unique custom scenes. Create
one scene for button 1 of the Tabletop Controller Accessory (model USQT22) and a second scene for
button 1 of the Tabletop Controller from the Lamp Starter Kit (model DKIT-02). Create a third scene for
button 2 of the Tabletop Controller Accessory (model USQT22) and a fourth scene for button 2 of the
Tabletop Controller from the Lamp Starter Kit (model DKIT-02). And, the 8-button Tabletop Controller
(model US28OTP23) has 6 independent buttons available for custom scene control.
Editing Buttons 3 and 4. Button 3 is programmed from the factory to turn ON/OFF all lamp modules, dimmers
and accessories. Button 4 is programmed from the factory to turn OFF all devices. These buttons can be
edited using the procedures for buttons 1 and 2: add a device Section 3.a, delete a device Section 3.b,
adjusting dimming levels Section 3.c.
To make button 3 of a Tabletop Controller available for an independent scene and edit button 4 so that it turns
all devices ON/OFF (instead of just off):
•Go to the Tabletop Controller, press button 3 one time to activate the ‘All ON’ scene. Any modules or
dimmers configured for this scene button should be ON. If the lamp light is not lit, turn the lamp’s ON/OFF
switch ON.
•Press (quickly tap) button 4 seven times to store the ‘All ON’ levels. The modules and dimmers will turn off
and back on indicating the level was stored.
•To test, press (quickly tap) button 4 two times to turn off all modules and dimmers, then press button 4 one
time to turn on all modules and dimmers. Congratulations you have created a new scene! Button 3 is now
available to edit for another scene and you can still turn all devices on/off with button 4.
Edit Button 3 so both (or multiple) Lamp Modules (or dimmers) dim to the same level. Button 3 is
programmed from the factory to turn on both lamp modules (and dimmers) at a 100% dim level. To change the
dimming level for both of the lamp modules (and dimmers) controlled by button 3:
•Go to the Tabletop Controller (or Deluxe Dimmer), press button 3 to activate the scene (both modules and
all other dimmers should be on). Next, press and hold button 3 dimming down to the desired dim level. If
necessary, press and hold button 3 a second time to dim up to the desired dim level.
•On the Tabletop Controller, press (quickly tap) button 3 seven times. Both lamps (and dimmers) will flash
off and back on indicating the new level was stored correctly. You have created a new scene by re-
programming button 3 from the previously pre-set dimming level.

Edit Button 4 so both Lamp Modules dim to the same level. You can repeat the process outlined above for
button 4. Button 4 is programmed from the factory to turn off both lamps.
Edit Buttons so each Lamp Module dims to a different level. Buttons 3 and 4 are pre-set at the factory to
control all modules and dimmers. To set lamp modules at different dimming levels for a button follow Section
3.c. Repeat as necessary for each lamp module.

The Scheduler-Timer is easily and quickly programmed -- no PC connection is
necessary. Just set the time, your location (using your zip code), the Network ID #
(250), and you’re ready to input on/off events using the device ID # for each lamp
module (each dimmer and module has a unique device ID number). You can find the ID
number on the front of each dimmer and on the back of each module. For the
Accessories (E.g. UML7, UMA25, US1W9, US2W12, etc...), the number digits at the end
of the model number indicate the device ID#. For example the accessories listed above
have device ID#s 7, 25, 9, and 12, respectively.

Phase Coupler: Your home should be no more than 2500 square feet and have only one breaker panel. A
phase coupler is required in some home installations; especially homes > 2500 square feet or homes with more
than 1 breaker panel. If you have tested the buttons for each lamp module, but one or more of the lamp
modules do not turn on, the circuits in your home may need phase coupling or phase alignment. All homes
have a 240V feed to the main breaker panel box, where the 240V is separated into 120V in two phases, an A
and B. You will need to install a phase coupler, or use dimmers and modules on one phase (align or move
lighting circuits, at the breaker, that have these dimmers and modules to either phase A or B, not both) see
http://simply-automated.com/products/cats/phase_couplers.php for options.
