Installation Guide and
Output Control Module
FUNCTION
The OCM Output Control Module is a high quality plug-in
home automation load controller that is capable of
controlling two 8 Amp relays based on digital commands
received over the power wiring from a remote UPB (Universal
Powerline Bus) controller. 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.

screwing the wall plate center screw through the OCM’s
mounting tab.
3. Remove the supplied Terminal Block from the OCM’s
Terminal Connector (see illustration).
4. Connect two wires from the first Control Circuit to the
Terminal Block. Terminate the two wires to blocks 1 and 2
using the clamping screws provided.

Model: OCM
Installation Guide and
Output Control Module
CONFIGURATION
Once your OCM is installed it can be configured either
manually or with the UPStart Setup Software.
Manual configuration can be used to add your OCM device
into a UPB network, link it to controller buttons and change
preset relay states. 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 OCM 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.
SETUP Mode
When configuring a UPB system, it will be necessary to place
the OCM in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program
Button (see illustration) five times rapidly. The Status LED
will continuously blink Blue when the device is in SETUP
mode. To exit SETUP mode, press the Program Button twice
or wait five minutes for it to time out.
OPERATION
The Output Control Module operates according to
commands sent by UPB controllers.
The OCM 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. Each channel of the OCM can be a member of up to
16 scenes with the capability to store a pre-set relay state
(OPEN or CLOSED) for each scene.
AUTO-OFF Timers
New for Generation 2 is the ability to set a maximum on time.
If you forget to shut the load off yourself then the output
module will do it for you automatically. The OCM can be
configured to inform the rest of the network when it has
automatically turned the load off. This allows the OCM to
remotely control other devices or update feedback indicators
such as LEDs.

TEST Mode
A manual test feature allows the relay to be CLOSED and
OPENED locally. To enable the TEST mode press and hold the
Program Button on the OCM for at least three seconds. The
Status LED will blink Magenta to indicate TEST mode. Relay #1
can now be CLOSED and OPENED by single-tapping the
Program Button. Lamp #2 can be CLOSED and OPENED by
double-tapping the Program Button. Press and hold the
Program Button again for at least three seconds to exit from
TEST mode.
Factory Default Settings
To restore the following default settings place the OCM 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.
