HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch
Installation and Operating Instructions
For the following Models:
35A00-1 HAI 600W Dimmer Switch, 35A00-3 HAI 600W Non-Dimming Switch (collectively referred to as HAI UPB
Switch, in this document), and 37A00-1 HAI Auxiliary Switch
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING DEVICE
This HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation. Retain these instructions for
reference.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, when configured as dimming-capable, do not install to
control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied appliance.
This product is for indoor use only. Connect only copper or copper clad wire to this device.
Important Notes Prior To Installation
1. All HAI UPB™ Wall Switches require a neutral (white) connection wire.
2. Be sure that all power to the load has been disconnected by turning off the circuit breaker. Installing an HAI UPB™ Wall Switch
or Auxiliary Switch with power on may expose you to dangerous voltage and may damage the device.
HAI UPB™ Wall Switch Overview
The HAI UPB™ Wall Switch (Figure 1) allows for local control of lighting by using the Decora-style rocker switch. It also
incorporates the UPB™ two-way powerline communication technology that gives it the ability to be remotely controlled by UPB™
compatible controllers. The HAI UPB™ Wall Switch is also capable of transmitting UPB™ messages (including current light level)
when the rocker switch is turned on, turned off, brightened, or dimmed.
Each switch can be configured to custom fit an individual’s lifestyle and desires. The HAI Dimmer Switch is capable of storing up to
16 preset light levels and fade rates to create powerful lighting scenes. The HAI Non-Dimming Switch is used to control such loads as
fluorescent lights and ceiling fans.

Changing Switch Color
The color of the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch may be changed to
complement the interior décor. The HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch
is supplied with a white switch plate. Additional colors are available; contact your
HAI distributor for more information. When changing the switch plate, make sure
that the switch is disconnected from all power, and proceed as follows:
1. The switch plate attaches to the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch
with two latches on the right and two on the left. Using a small-bladed
screwdriver, gently depress the upper and lower latch on one side while lifting
up on the plate. Once the latches are released on one side, remove the switch
plate from the other side.
2. Align the latches of the new switch plate to the openings on the mounting plate
and gently snap into place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The HAI UPB™ Wall Switch is wired directly to the lighting circuit and can be controlled by adding one or more optional HAI
Auxiliary Switches producing multi-way circuits. Multi-way circuits make it possible for a group of switches to control the same light
or set of lights. This section will illustrate how to make the connections.
Notes:
1. Refer to Figures 1 and Figure 2 to determine the wire colors for each connection.
2. All HAI UPB™ Wall Switches require a neutral (white) connection.
3. The Line (black) wire must be accessible for the installation of all HAI Auxiliary Switches. This wire may be connected to either
phase of the 120/240V supply. The blue and/or gray wire on the HAI Auxiliary Switch can be connected to either earth ground or
neutral. The blue and/or gray wire is only used to light the LED on the switch. This LED only indicates that power is applied and
serves as a night-light. Connect the blue wire only to light the LED blue. Connect the gray wire only to light the LED red.
Connect both the blue wire and the gray wire to light the LED magenta.

Air-Gap Switch Lever
The HAI UPB™ Wall Switch has an air-gap switch lever that will remove all power from the load for safe
switch installation and light bulb replacement. To activate the air-gap switch, using your fingernail, pry open
the lever at the groove (Figure 1). Swing the lever fully open so that it is perpendicular to the bottom rim
(Figure 4). After servicing, push the lever fully closed so that it is parallel to the bottom rim. The lever
must be pushed fully closed for normal operation.
Figure 4 – Air-Gap Switch Lever
Installation Procedure
1. Be sure that all power to the load has been disconnected by turning off the circuit breaker.
2. If applicable, remove the faceplate from the existing wall switch, remove the existing wall switch from the wall box, and
disconnect the wires from the existing wall switch. Identify the “Line”, "Neutral", "Load" and “Traveler” (if applicable) wires.
3. Be sure that the air-gap switch lever on the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch is fully open.
4. Remove ¾” of insulation from each of the wires on the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch. Install the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch by
connecting wires per wiring configuration shown in Figure 5.
5. Install any optional HAI Auxiliary Switch per wiring configuration shown in Figure 5.
6. After all connections have been made, be certain that all wire connectors are firmly attached and there is no exposed copper.
7. Gently place the wires and HAI UPB™ Wall Switch into the wall box with the LED at the top of device. Using the supplied
screws, attach the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch to the wall box.
8. Before installing the faceplate, restore power to the circuit, and then fully close the air-gap switch lever.
9. After testing the HAI UPB™ Wall Switch and Auxiliary Switch for proper local operation (Table 2 and Table 3), install a
Decora-style faceplate over each switch.
