FUNCTION
The RM1 is ideal for remotely controlling one or more
120VAC non-dimming appliances with a maximum rating of
15 Amps. The RM1 will replace any standard wall outlet, the
top outlet is controlled. No additional wiring is required. Its
lower outlet allows vacuums, computers, and other devices
that do not require remote control to be plugged in to the
normal electrical circuit.
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.

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.
Program Button
Status LED
SETUP Mode
When configuring, it will be necessary to place the RM1 in SETUP
mode. To do this, press the Program Button, located in the top
outlet ground hole, five times rapidly using a non-metallic
toothpick. The Status LED will continuously blink Blue, located in the
bottom outlet ground hole, when the device is in SETUP mode. To
exit SETUP mode, press the Program Button once or wait five minutes
for it to time out.
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
module will implement it automatically. The RM1 can also be
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
single-tapping the Program Button. Press and hold the Program
Button again for three seconds to exit from TEST mode.
Factory Default Settings
To restore the following default settings put the RM1 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.
