The TEC is part of PCS's PulseWorx line of residential lighting control products that utilize the patented UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) technology. It can be programmed with 20 individual events, which can occur between once a day to once a year. Based on geographic location, a built-in astronomical clock can automatically adjust for sunrise/sunset, leap year and daylight savings. All programmed data is protected by non-volatile memory and can only be changed or deleted by reprogramming, regardless of power outage durations. A factory installed lithium battery maintains accurate time and calendar information.

A computer is used to program the TEC but scheduled events can easily be disabled from any UPB transmitter. This by no means implies you need to use your computer to disable a scheduled event, only to program it. Due to the TEC receiving capability, the device can listen for a command transmitted from ANY UPB transmitter that is programmed to disable a scheduled event. For example, lights are programmed to turn off at 10:00 every night but your dinner party is running a little long. Disable the pre-programmed event by transmitting a UPB Link command from the KPCD8 near by, without having to log into your computer to make the change. The TEC is smart enough to recognize the command sent, disable the event this time, and re-enable the schedule tomorrow.

This UPB Controller, Scheduler/Timer was designed for ease of use and maximum functionality. Once the unit is set for time, date and location (zip code or latitude and longitude) only one intuitive display is used to setup events. Once the Scheduler-Timer has been set-up, the User can rely on timely lighting and not worry about making changes for seasons or adjusting the time.

The Scheduler-Timer will automatically adjust time referenced to the nationally synchronized power grid; it knows when daylight savings and leap years occur and even when the sun rises and sets for your location. In the event of a power loss, the programs are stored in non-volatile memory and will not be lost; and time will be maintained with power off for approximately one week. The user menus were designed for easy navigation with minimum button pushes.
