FUNCTION
The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Dual
Output, Universal Dimming
Transceiver Base, model US22-40,
provides two direct load controls and
remote control of permanently-
installed new or existing lighting fixtures, lamps and other electrical devices
connected to UPB devices. Incandescent lamps can be turned ON or OFF,
and can also be dimmed and brightened. The US22 can be configured to
turn other types of non-dimmable loads ON and OFF. The timer function
can be preset and automatically turn OFF loads, like bathroom lights, fans
or heat lamps. Actuator faceplates, model ZSXX series, available in rocker
and pushbutton styles, are interchangeable on the US22 base. The US22
can be configured to control two loads of up to 600W each (see table 1) and
provide scene control. Load control can be configured to any rocker or
button on the various actuator faceplates. All switch actuators may act as
transmitters of UPB lighting scene-links, communicating with other UPB
devices - individually or collectively.

INSTALLATION
The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Dual Output, Universal Dimming Transceiver
Base (US22-40) 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
(dimming disabled) 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.

*Total watts – both channels; not to exceed 600W per channel.
2. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.
3. Remove the existing wall switch hardware. Disconnect the
wires to the switch.
4. Using a wire nut, connect all white (Neutral) wires together
including white wire of US22.
5. Using wire nuts, connect the US22's BROWN channel 1
(output load) wire to the black wire of the first device load and
RED channel 2 (load output) wire to the black wire of second
device load to be controlled. DO NOT CONNECT BOTH
BROWN AND RED LOAD WIRES TOGETHER; ONE
CHANNEL MAY OVERLOAD.
6. IF THIS IS TO BE A 3- OR MORE-WAY INSTALLATION, use
a wire nut to connect the brown/white "REMOTE 1" wire or
red/white "REMOTE 2" wire if there is a second 3-way switch
traveler. Refer to the wiring diagrams on pages 3 and 4.
7. Using a wire nut, connect the black (Line) wire of the US22-40
switch to the black (Line) power wire.
8. Mount the switch inside the J-box using captive screws. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
9. 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.
First time users should also download and follow the Quick Start Guide and
use the Installation Wizard available in UPStart to save time.
The US22-40 default settings are preconfigured for a ZS24 (quad rocker)
faceplate. The default settings ensure that both loads will operate locally
with most faceplate. To utilize essential functions, the UPB settings should
be configured by the installer for the specific faceplate. Any rocker or button
can be configured to control the local load (Link #241 channel 1, Link #242
channel 2). When using UPStart, this is done by selecting the faceplate
"device type" when adding the device to the network.
