Description

Are Universal Powerline Bus (UPB)-controlled lights or appliances in one area of your house having trouble receiving signals from UPB transmitters in another area of the house? Because most homes have 2-phase 220V power that splits into two separate 110V legs, sometimes UPB signals have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other. But connect the Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler in your home's circuit breaker panel, and it will bridge UPB signals between the two power lines in your home easily, allowing virtually all of your UPB receivers to respond to UPB signals. This universal phase coupler even passes X10 signals from one electrical phase to the other, and it also features built-in surge suppression to protect components on both electrical phases from surge damage.

Features

  • Breaker-Panel Phase Coupler (PN: ZPCI-B) boosts signals between phases in a home. Fits two breaker positions in a standard breaker panels (Murray/Crouse Hinds - MP, Siemens - QP, Cutler Hammer/Eaton - BR or CL, GE - THQL or THQP, and SquareD - HOM).
  • Universal design passes UPB, X10 and other higher frequency powerline signals
  • Makes ultra-reliable Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) technology even more robust. No new wires needed!
  • Simply Automated devices can transmit and receive lighting scene commands with other UPB dimmers, UPB plug-in modules, UPB fixture modules and/or other devices - can control virtually any device that connects to AC power wiring anywhere in the home.
  • To ensure a proper installation your home should be no more than 2500 square feet and have only one breaker panel. A phase coupler is required in some home installations. Not intended for use in multi-dwelling (condo, apartment, duplex) units.
