FUNCTION
The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Universal Dimming Transceiver Base, model
US2-40, provides direct load control and/or 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 US2-40 can be configured to
turn other types of non-dimmable loads ON and OFF. Actuator faceplates,
model series ZS1X and ZS2X, available in rocker and/or pushbutton styles,
are fully interchangeable on the US2-40 base. The US2-40 can be
configured to control a load and provide scene control, or scene control only
(no load). The US2-40 can control a load of up to 900W (see table 1). Load
control can be configured to any rocker or button on the various actuator
faceplates. All switch actuators may act as transmitters that can
communicate with other UPB devices, either individually or collectively for
lighting scenes.

4. Never use products that have been dropped or damaged.
5. Do not use this product outdoors.
6. Do not use this product for other than its intended use.
7. Do not connect multiple lamps that, when combined, exceed the
maximum load rating of the product, de-rated for multi-gang boxes.
8. Do not install in areas that can exceed 120°F (e.g., in an attic).
9. To avoid the risk of overheating and possible damage to other

INSTALLATION

The SimplyBrilliant™ UPB Universal Dimming Transceiver Base (US2-40) 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: DO NOT INSTALL TO CONTROL A RECPTACLE. 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.
ATTENTION: NE PAS INSTALLER POUR COMMANDER UNE
PRISE. La configuration de changement implicite opère comme un
variateur pour les lampes incandescentes. Il baissera aussi le voltage
bas magnétique et les lampes d'halogène. Contrôler le voltage bas
fluorescent, électronique ou le métal halide les lampes, ou les appareils
opérés de moteur, les appareils fournis de transformateur ou les fans, e
changement doit être reconfiguré pour SUR/DE l'opération (baissant
rendu infirme) avant l'utilisation. Faites allusion à la section sur la
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.

2. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.
3. Remove the existing wall switch hardware. Disconnect the wires to the
switch.
4. Remove the yellow "INSTALL WITH CARE" label on the US2-40 if
present.
5. Using a wire nut, connect all white (Neutral) wires together.
6. Using a wire nut, connect the brown (load output) wire of the US2-40 to
the black wire of the device to be controlled.
7. 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.
8. Using a wire nut, connect the black (Line) wire of the US2-40 switch to
the black (Line) power wire.
9. Mount the switch inside the J-box using captive screws. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
10. Reconnect power at the circuit breaker.
