Leviton UPB™  6-BUTTON SCENE SWITCH OPERATION

The Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch has many configurable items that can be set using the UPB™ UPStart configuration software.  

The following describes the operation of the Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch in its factory default configuration. 

The Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch has six pushbuttons labeled ON, A, B, C, D, and OFF (although these buttons may be custom engraved), which are used to control six 

lighting scenes. When the pushbutton labeled "ON" is pressed, the LED behind the "ON" pushbutton is illuminated and any other is turned off.  When the pushbutton labeled "OFF" 

is pressed, the LED behind the "OFF" pushbutton is illuminated and any other is turned off. When one of the pushbuttons labeled "A", "B", "C", or "D" is pressed, the LED behind the 

respective pushbutton is illuminated and any other is turned off. No more than one pushbutton is illuminated at a time.

Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch Overview

The Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch 

(Figure 1) allows for lighting control of a room where Leviton UPB™ Wall Switches have been 

installed. It uses the UPB™ two-way powerline communication technology to communicate with Leviton controllers, UPB™ Wall Switches, 

and other UPB™ devices on the network. 
The Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch has six pushbuttons labeled ON, A, B, C, D, and OFF (although these buttons may be custom 

engraved). Each pushbutton is slightly backlit so that the buttons can be seen in a dark room. Depending on configuration of the Leviton 

UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch, one or more of the six pushbuttons will be distinctly illuminated, indicating the pushbutton has been pressed 

or a scene has been selected. Each lighting scene pushbutton (A-D) can be configured to custom fit an individual’s lifestyle and desires.  

UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmers are capable of storing preset light levels and fade rates to create powerful lighting scenes.  
The Leviton UPB™ 6-Button Scene Switch is also equipped with an IR receiver. Using the Leviton 38A14-1 Scene Switch Remote Control, 

or any learning remote control, the pushbuttons on the Scene Switch can be activated.  Point the remote control at the Scene Switch and the 

room can be turned on, turned off, dimmed, brightened, or set to a scene (A-D).

right corner and one on the lower-left corner 

(Figure 2).

2.  Using a small-bladed Philips screwdriver, unscrew each of the two screws. Remove the bezel from the back housing.  
3.  Install the new bezel by aligning the mounting holes on the bezel with the installation pins on the back housing. Secure 

bezel to back housing with the two Phillips screws that were removed in 

Step 1.
