Installation Guide and
Receptacle Module
CONFIGURATION
Once your RM1 is installed it can be configured either
manually or with the UPStart Setup Software.
Refer to one of the Keypad Controller’s Manual
Configuration Guide available on the PCS website for further
details on Manual configuration to add your RM1 device into
a UPB network and link it to various Keypads devices.
Although the factory default operation of the RM1 is very
useful in many situations, it is highly recommended that you
program your RM1 with a Powerline Interface Module (PIM)
and UPStart Configuration Software to take advantage of its
many configurable features. User Guides are available on our
website, if you need further assistance on how to configure
your system.
OPERATION
The Receptacle Module operates according to commands
sent by one or more UPB controllers. The RM1 can accept
powerline commands from any UPB-compatible transmitter
such as PulseWorx Keypad Controllers, Timed Event
Controllers, Wall Switches, Interface Modules, approved
Third-Party Controllers and touch screens. The RM1 can be a
member of up to 16 scenes with the capability to store a
pre-set relay state (on, off, or blink) for each scene.

AUTO-OFF Timer
The programmable Auto-Off Timer has the ability to set a “maximum
on time” up to 240 minutes. If the appliance is not turned off, the

configured to inform the network when appliance has been turned
off. This feature allows the RM1 to remotely control other devices or
update indicator LEDs on Keypads.
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 RM1 for three seconds. The Status LED will blink Magenta to
indicate TEST mode. The appliance can now be turned ON and OFF by
