FUNCTION
The Fixture Relay Module, model UFR, turns 120VAC appliances or
lighting ON and OFF based on digital commands received over the power
wiring from a remote UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) controller. UPB
controllers and modules can be freely located anywhere in the home. No
additional wiring is required and no radio frequency signals are used for
communication.

INSTALLATION
The Fixture Relay Module is designed for indoor use with devices that are
permanently wired into the home electrical system. To install the UFR
module:
1. Locate the device to be controlled. Note that the device power rating
must not exceed 12 amps.
2. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.
3. Remove any existing ceiling or wall fixture hardware for the device.
Disconnect the black wire that supplies power to the device.
4. Using a wire nut, connect the black (Line) wire of the fixture module
to the black (Line) power wire.
5. Using a wire nut, connect the brown (load output) wire of the fixture
module to the black wire from the device to be controlled.
6. If the application requires a remote wall switch to activate/deactivate
the fixture module, connect the brown/white wire from the fixture
module to the traveler wire that extends to a model USR Dedicated
Remote Switch. Refer to the wiring diagram for details.
7. If a remote wall switch is not used, cap off the unused brown/white
wire at the fixture module to prevent shorting.
8. Using a large wire nut, connect the white (Neutral) wire of the fixture
module to the white (Neutral) power wire and the white wire from the
lighting fixture. If a remote USR wall switch is used, this connection
can also be used to supply a neutral to the USR switch. Refer to the
wiring diagram for details.
9. Refer to instructions on CONFUGRATION and OPERATION prior to
placing the fixture module in its final location, as it may be necessary
to have access to the Program Switch in order to add the module to
the UPB network and test its operation. Temporarily restore power
in order to perform these functions. Disconnect power again when
finished. Or, if a USR Remote Switch is part of the installation, simply
tap the USR 5 times to put the UFD into Program Mode.
10. Once proper operation is established, fit the module into the outlet
box or otherwise secure it using screws or wire ties. Reinstall fixture
hardware as needed.
CONFIGURATION
1. To configure the UFR and assign it to one or more controllers,
please refer to instructions for the controller.
2. When configuring a UPB system, it may be necessary to place the
UFR in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program Switch five (or
the USR rocker) times rapidly using a non-metallic toothpick. The
indicator will continuously blink GREEN when the unit is in SETUP
mode. To exit SETUP mode, press the Program Switch once or wait
five minutes.
CAUTION: Do not insert metal objects into the module while
it is connected to power.
OPERATION
The Fixture Relay Module operates according to commands sent by a
controller. The indicator on the module will glow RED when the controlled
device is OFF and GREEN when the device is ON.
UPB FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
