UPC20+ Universal Power Controller
Product Information
The UPC20+ Universal Power Control is a dual 20 Amp AC power and motor controller designed
for conduit installation. The UPC20+ is housed in a compact metal wall-mount enclosure and is
configurable for a wide variety of power and motor control modes. Low voltage contact-closures,
open collector inputs or serial data from an AMX IR receiver enable control by simple wall panels,
remote systems, or hand-held transmitters. A test switch with an LED indicator for each relay is
provided for local control and status indication.
Using Motor Control mode, the UPC20+ output alternates between two relays, providing a brief
pause in-between relay contacts, to protect the motor. A timing adjustment potentiometer is user
adjustable for automatic release of the relays. (The range is 0 to 90 seconds). 1-, 2-, and 3- button
control modes are selectable.
In Power Control mode, the UPC20+ provides power control for two independent circuits with a
combined total load of 20 Amps. Single-button momentary/latching and 2-button latching modes
are selectable.
Momentary Power Relay contacts are closed only as long as a closure from input to
common is maintained.
Product Information
Latching Power Relay contacts are toggled (from open to closed and closed to open)
each time a closure from input to common is momentarily pulsed.
All functions and capabilities of the UPC20+ (including information on high voltage wiring, low
voltage wiring, and DIP switch settings) are described on a sticker installed inside the enclosure.
FIG. 1 shows the UPC20+ (inside view).
The UPC20+ will work the NXC-I/O10 input/output control card.
