on the market today!

The HLC family of products from HAI uses existing wires so it can

be used in new or retrofit installations.

HLC (HAI Lighting Control)

HLC – a structured, easy to use method of setting up HAI Dimmers, Scene Switches and House Status with an HAI controller.

The HAI controller configures: The HLC devices. The HAI Scene Switch to work with the HLC switches in the room. The HAI House Status to work with the HLC switches in the

house.

Provides scheduling, remote control, sunrise/sunset, occupancy settings, whole house scenes (macros), etc.

Provides TWO WAY communication from HLC switches to HAI controllers and reports switch status which can be viewed from HAI Console, Omni Touch, or software.

Touch screen:

Configure all HAI UPB Devices

Each UPB device in the House will need to be configured per the previous example.

Auxiliary switches do not count as a device in the room count or overall count, they are not configured, they communicate directly to the Switch. They can be used to put the switch in program.

If you have two Scene Switches in the same room configure them in the same “position” (same unit ID) this way they will mimic each other.

UPB™ Upstart Configuration

Free software for advanced configuration of UPB™ devices. This software is provided as a courtesy to all UPB™ manufacturers.

Turn a Dimming Switch into a Non-Dimming Switch and a Non-Dimming Switch into a Dimming Switch.

Change the LED color on a switch or turn off the LED. Change the fade rates for on and off. Default the light level of the Dimming switch on a single

tap or a double tap. Setting the switch to only turn on to 95% doubles bulb life.

UPB™ Upstart Configuration

Required Items for Upstart

Upstart Software PIM (Power line Interface Module) (36A00-1) it is

recommended to have a separate one just for Upstart (HLC and Upstart use different communication modes).

PIM to PC Cable (36A05-2). USB to Serial adapter if your computer does not

have a serial port, HAI recommends the KeySpan model USA-19HS.

UPB Links

A Link in UPB is a single command that can control a single device or a group of Multiple devices (Scenes).

When a button on a Scene Switch is pressed, that is issuing a Link command

An HAI controller configured with HLC builds all the required Links for you.

The HAI controller also monitors the status of all the devices so that you always know the state of the device.

UPB Link Status

This is important to understand, when a UPB Link is issued from any device including the HAI controller, no request for status is issued. In other words the device(s) will respond to the Link command but an HAI controller will not show the new status.

This is a limitation of the UPB protocol!

The HAI controller monitors the status of all the devices

so that you always know the state of the device by requesting status from each device.

Request Status

If you Add to an existing Link or make a New Link.

In PCAccess you will have to add program lines to request status from each device that is part of that edited or new Link

If you use the Links as they are configured by HAI

controller Then you do not have to request status as that is already being done.

Let HLC and the HAI controller do the hard work.

UPB Status

Later I will show you how to Request Status using PCAccess Use PCAccess to program control of devices, similar to

a Link So that you don’t have to worry about working with

Links and maintaining the correct status

Status is important since your customer can check on their house using SnapLink, ProntoLink or Touch Screens.

How To Request Status

In PCAccess

WHEN GR Wall ON: GR Wall REQUEST STATUS WHEN GR Wall OFF: GR Wall REQUEST STATUS

This will be required anytime you add to a existing Link or make a new Link.

This adds to the traffic on the power line, only use when needed.

Review

Use HAI Lighting Control (HLC) whenever you have a controller in place. Always start with HLC, use Upstart to make minor adjustments. Remember if you add or edit a Link, you will have to think are you going

to have the correct Status. Upstart is a powerful tool use it cautiously.

Review

Keep it Simple!!! Do not make their lighting system so complicated that they need a manual to operate the lights.

Engrave all Scene, House Status and Event Switches, it is always easier to work with a name then remember that the Evening button is #3.

HAI Knowledge Base

HAI has a Knowledge Base that will help you with some other UPB applications.

Article 496 deals with using a Scene Switch to control 4 individual loads.

Article 690 deals with using a House Status Switch to control individual loads with each button acting as a dimmer. (Note the Caution)
