Overview
The Wall Switch Dimmer is a high quality light dimmer packed
full of features. It comes in several variations (600W, 1000W, 1500W, 2400W) and
colors. Each can be set for either Dimming or On/Off Only operation. All models
can control incandescent, florescent, or magnetic low voltage loads. The Wall Switch
Dimmer can be controlled in three different ways: by its local rocker switch, by
remote "slave" switches, and by UPB™ compatible controllers.
The first combination wall switch/light dimmer to incorporate
its patented Universal Powerline Bus (UPB™) two-way powerline communication technology.
UPB™ is the perfect low cost alternative to hard-wired and RF control technologies,
requiring no new wires and providing ultra-reliable communications between transmitters
and receivers.
Performance Features
The Wall Switch Dimmer is designed to be an integral part of
PCS's UPB™ Lighting Control System and it is also compatible with many other lighting
control systems. The PCS UPB™ Lighting Control System allows the designer/installer
to implement up to 16 pre-set scenes for each circuit and over 250 scenes per house.
When initial configuration is complete, a single push of a button is all you need
to activate any group of lights (or control points) simultaneously. Each scene's
pre-set lighting levels can be easily adjusted using PCS' innovative programming
system (or by using a UPB™ Setup Tool).
Design Features
The Wall Switch Dimmer is packed full of customizable features
that are all configured using a UPB™ Setup Tool. Top and bottom rocker switch actions,
fade rates, and LED operations can all be customized. Besides just receiving UPB™
control commands, the Wall Switch Dimmer can be configured as a transmitter too.
It can be configured to transmit many kinds of commands and status information upon
rocker switch events.
The Wall Switch Dimmer is a "master" and can be connected
to one or more inexpensive remote "slave" switches to provide three-way or multi-way
control. The RWS Remote Wall Switch looks and operates the same as the Wall Switch
Dimmer and can be run up to 1000 ft. away. All PCS products are completely Made
in USA.
