Lamp Module
FUNCTION
The LM1 Lamp Module is a high quality plug-in home
automation load controller that is capable of controlling
120VAC incandescent lamps based on digital commands
received over the power wiring from a remote UPB (Universal
Powerline Bus) controller. The module will turn lamps ON
and OFF, and will also act as a light dimmer. UPB controllers
and modules can be freely located anywhere throughout the
home. No additional wiring is required and no radio
frequency signals are used for communication.

INSTALLATION
The Lamp Module is designed for indoor use with devices that
plug into a grounded power outlet. To install the LM1 module:
1. Locate the lamp to be controlled and unplug it from the
wall outlet.
2. Plug the lamp into the socket on the bottom of the lamp
module. The lamp current rating (or combined rating of
multiple connected lamps) must not exceed 400 watts.
3. Plug the LM1 into the wall outlet (see illustration below).
4. Turn the lamp power switch to its ON position.
If desired, another device can be plugged into the pass thru
outlet socket on the front of the lamp module, which is always
powered.
CAUTION: Do not insert metal objects into the module while it is
connected to power.

Installation Guide and
Lamp Module
CONFIGURATION
Once your LM1 is installed it can be configured either
manually or with the UPStart Setup Software.
Manual configuration can be used to add your LM1 device
into a UPB network, link it to controller buttons and change
preset light levels. Refer to the Keypad Controller’s Manual
Configuration Guide available on the PulseWorx website
(www.PulseWorx.com) for more details.
Although the factory default operation of the LM1 is useful in
many situations, it is highly recommended that your device
be configured with the UPStart Setup Software so that you
can take advantage of its many configurable features.
PCS has developed a Powerline Interface Module (PIM) and
free software (UPStart) to help you configure all of your
PulseWorx Lighting System devices. User’s Guides are
available on the PulseWorx web site: www.PulseWorx.com to
explain how to configure your system.
Note: The LM1 can be configured to disable the dimmer so it
can turn ON and OFF non-dimmable loads such as
fluorescent lights.
SETUP Mode
When configuring a UPB system, it will be necessary to place
the LM1 in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program
Button (see illustration) five times rapidly using a nonmetallic toothpick. The Status LED will continuously blink
Blue when the device is in SETUP mode. To exit SETUP mode,
press the Program Button once or wait five minutes for it to
time out.
OPERATION
The Lamp Module operates according to commands sent by
UPB controllers.
The LM1 can accept powerline commands from any UPBcompatible transmitter such as PulseWorx Keypad
Controllers, Timed Event Controllers, Wall Switches, Interface
Modules, Approved Third-Party Controllers and touch
screens. The LM1 can be a member of up to 16 scenes with
the capability to store a pre-set light level (0% - 100%, or
blink) and fade/blink rate for each scene.
Lamp Switch Triggers
The LM1will sense when the local lamp switch has gone from
opened to closed and can automatically turn on the lamp
when this occurs.
Owner’s Manual
AUTO-OFF Timer
New for Generation 2 is the ability to set a maximum on time. If
you forget to shut the lamp off yourself then the lamp module
will do it for you automatically. The LM1 can be configured to
inform the rest of the network when it has automatically turned
the lamp off. This allows the LM1 to remotely control other
devices or update feedback indicators such as LEDs.
TEST Mode
A manual test feature allows the device to be turned ON and OFF
locally. To enable the TEST mode press and hold the Program
Button on the LM1 for three seconds. The Status LED will blink
Magenta to indicate TEST mode. The lamp can now be turned
ON and OFF by pressing the Program Button. Press and hold the
Program Button again for three seconds to exit from TEST mode.
Factory Default Settings
To restore the following default settings place the LM1 into
SETUP mode and then press the Program Button ten times
rapidly. The Status LED will blink red to indicate that factory
defaults have been restored. Press the Program Button twice
more to stop the blinking.
