Simply Automated UPB URD Quick Start Manual

Controlled Receptacle

FUNCTION

The Controlled Receptacle, model URD, turns 120VAC
appliances 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 URD is designed for indoor installation in a junction box that
is wired to a readily accessible overcurrent protection device in
the building, per NEC and CEC electrical standards. To install
the URD module:
1. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove any existing wallplate and receptacle from the outlet
box. Disconnect the wiring to the existing receptacle.
3. Connect the black (Line) wire to the bottom brass-colored
screw on the controlled receptacle.
4. Connect the white (Neutral) wire to the bottom silver-
colored screw on the controlled receptacle.
5. If available, connect the green (Ground) wire to the green-
colored screw on the controlled receptacle.
6. If the application requires a remote wall switch to
activate/deactivate the controlled receptacle, connect the
brown/white wire from the receptacle 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 receptacle to prevent shorting.
8. Fit the receptacle into the outlet box and secure with
mounting screws. Install the wallplate provided with the
receptacle.
NOTE: In order to use a standard wallplate, a hole must be
drilled in the wallplate to accommodate the Indicator/Switch.
9. Restore power at the circuit breaker.
10. Plug the appliance to be controlled into the top outlet of the
receptacle. Turn the appliance power switch ON.
11. If desired, another device can be plugged into the bottom
outlet, which is always powered.
