UPB Interfaces

• Installation Instructions(PDF)

A PIM is a required component of an HLC System.

The status light on the PIM gives diagnostic information, showing transmitted and received signals.

UPB™ may be added and will work with an existing X-10 based lighting system.

If your HAI automation controller is using all of its serial ports, HAI offers the HLC Expansion Kit (HAI Part Number 36A10-1) to add another serial port for the PIM to use.

The Model 36A05-2 PIM to PC Cable & Connector (purchased separately) is used to connect the PIM to a standard DB-9 serial port. The 36A05-2 can be used to connect the PIM to the HAI Model 10A17-1 Serial Interface Module for controlling UPB™ devices through an HAI controller, or to a PC for configuring UPB™ devices using the HAI UPB™ UPStart configuration software.

Model UMC is a plug-in module that enables computer-based configuration and control of household lighting, appliances and other devices over the powerline. The module communicates using the highly-reliable Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) technology. UPB devices such as Model UMC are easily integrated to provide a flexible, low-cost alternative to hardwired or RF home automation strategies.

Model UMC receives and transmits UPB digital commands and converts these signals to a serial RS-232C interface format. Installation is simple: the module is plugged into a standard 120VAC outlet and the serial port of the computer or server is connected to the module using a standard DB-9 cable. With appropriate software, the computer can then be used to configure and/or control UPB devices in the home. A pass-through (non-contolled) power outlet is provided on the face of the module.

The UMC-DB9-W is USB compatible when used with an RS-232-to-USB cable.
