TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Master switch is wired
properly but has no power. Air gap power disconnect may be disengaged (pulled out). Push light pipe (indicator) back into position flush with faceplate assembly housing.
3-way remote switch actuator may be binding,
causing the switch to be stuck ON or OFF. Loosen mounting screws on remote switch and/or wallplate to relieve pressure on housing.
Master switch actuator
doesn’t turn load ON
and/or OFF. Actuator faceplate may not be seated properly
on the switch body. Exercise actuator several times to ensure proper seating and operation.
Mounting screws may be too tight or j-box may
be deformed, causing the switch body to warp. Loosen mounting screws to relieve pressure on the switch housing.
Rocker sticks or doesn’t
actuate properly when
pressed. Actuator springs may have backed out of their
correct location during shipping. Reseat the springs: place the faceplate face-up on a flat surface, then press down on both sides of each rocker at the same time.
Switch is overloaded. Reduce the power load by removing bulbs from the circuit.
Switch runs hot when
dimming the load. Switch is dimming a load that is not rated for
use with incandescent dimmers. Reconfigure the switch for ON/OFF operation with no dimming (using UPStart, for example).
UPB FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
To restore the following default settings, place the US1 in SETUP mode
and tap any actuator exactly 10 times. The indicator will continuously
blink RED. Tap the actuator twice again to exit SETUP mode.

POWER DISCONNECTION
To physically disconnect power to the connected lamp fixture, depress
the top of the rocker switch, grab the underside of the clear plastic
indicator tab with your fingernail, pull the tab out about 0.05”, then push
the tab down to lock it in place. The indicator will extinguish to show
that power is now disconnected. To reconnect power, simply push the
tab up and it will snap back into its normal position.

FUNCTION
The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Dimming Transceiver Switch, model US11-30,
allows remote control of permanently-installed new or existing lighting
fixtures, lamps and other electrical devices. Each unit has one rocker
switch that directly controls a load up to 900W. Incandescent lamps can
be turned ON or OFF, and can also be dimmed and brightened. The
US11-30 can be configured to turn other types of non-dimmable loads ON
and OFF. The switch also acts as a transmitter that can communicate
with other UPB devices, either individually or collectively for lighting
scenes.

The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Dimming Transceiver Switch (US11-30) is
designed to be installed in a junction box that is wired to a readily
accessible over-current protection device in the building wiring per NEC
and CEC electrical codes.
CAUTION: The default switch configuration operates as a dimmer for
incandescent lamps. It will also dim magnetic low-voltage and
halogen lamps. To control fluorescent, electronic low-voltage or
metal halide lamps, or motor-operated appliances, transformer-
supplied appliances or fans, the switch must be reconfigured for
ON/OFF operation (no dimming) prior to use. Refer to the section on
Configuration.
CAUTION: DO NOT WIRE THIS DEVICE WITH POWER
CONNECTED. Injury or permanent damage to the device
may result. Improper installation voids the product warranty.
1. Locate the existing wall switch for the lighting to be controlled. Note
that the lamp rating (or the combined rating of all connected lamps)
must not exceed what is shown in the de-rating table below.

OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS.
10. Reconnect power at the circuit breaker.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration requires UPB setup/configuration software and a model
UMC Computer Interface Module. Before using UPStart configuration
software, be sure to download the latest version from the Simply
Automated website.
The US11-30 default settings assume a ZS11 (single rocker) faceplate.
The device will not operate correctly with any other model of
faceplate. Because US11-30 and US2-30 devices use the same
Product ID code, UPB settings must be properly configured. When
using UPStart, this is done by selecting the US11 Single Rocker
faceplate “variant” when adding the device to the network.
SETUP MODE
When configuring a UPB system, it is often necessary to place the
US11 in SETUP mode in order to initiate self-identification on the
powerline. To place the US11 in SETUP mode, tap any
rocker/pushbutton exactly 5 times consecutively. The LED indicator will
continuously blink GREEN when the unit is in SETUP mode. To exit
SETUP mode and enter NORMAL mode, tap the rocker/pushbutton
twice again.
OPERATION
Unless otherwise configured, rocker actuator behaves as follows:
Dimmer Action
Rocker Event Top Rocker Bottom Rocker
Single-Tap Brighten to 100% at
Default Rate Fade to 0% at Default Rate
Double-Tap Snap to 100% Snap to 0%
Hold Start brightening to
100% at Default Rate Start fading to 0% at Default Rate
Release Stop brightening and
hold current level Stop fading and hold current level
1. By linking a transmitting switch to a UPB Receptacle, Appliance
Module or Relay Module, the connected load can be turned ON by
tapping the top of the rocker and OFF by tapping the bottom of the
rocker.
2. By linking a transmitting switch to a UPB Lamp or Fixture Dimmer
Module, the connected load can be controlled according to the
table above.
INSTALLING/CHANGING FACEPLATES
SimplyBrilliant Dimming Wall Switches are designed with removable
actuator faceplates, making it possible to change color in the field
without disconnecting the switch from the wall.
To install a faceplate assembly, do the following:
1. Hold the rocker faceplate assembly so that clear plastic light pipe
(LED) on the switch fits nicely into the recess on the top of the
rocker.
2. Align the four prongs on the rocker assembly with the four slots on
the switch body.
3. Press the rocker faceplate assembly into the switch body. Ensure
that all four prongs are fully inserted and latched into the switch
body. If all four prongs are not fully latched, the rocker plungers
may not function properly.
4. Exercise rocker actuator several times in both directions to ensure
proper seating and operation
To remove the faceplate assembly to upgrade functionality
or to change color, do the following:
1. Remove the wall plate from the switch.
2. Using the thumb and index finger, press the top two prongs of the
rocker faceplate assembly inward so that they unlatch from the
switch body AND at the same time, using your thumbnail, slightly
lift up the clear plastic light pipe. This will release the top of the
rocker assembly.
3. Press the two lower prongs inward, and pull the faceplate
assembly away and slightly downward from the switch body,
moving it away from the clear plastic light pipe.
4. Once the old rocker faceplate is removed, follow steps 1-4 above
for instructions on installing a new rocker faceplate assembly.
