FUNCTION 

The 8-Button Keypad Controller (KPCx8) is a high quality 
home automation controller that is capable of transmitting 
UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) digital commands over the 
existing power wiring to remotely turn on, off, and dim other 
UPB load control devices. No additional wiring is required 
and no radio frequency signals are used for communication. 

Wall-Mount and Desktop Styles 

The KPCx8 is available in two different styles: wall-mount and 
desktop.  The KPCW8 is the wall-mount version and can be 
mounted in any wall box that contains both line and neutral 
wires.  The KPCD8 comes in an elegant desktop enclosure 
that can be freely located near any wall outlet that exists 
throughout the home.   

Engraved Pushbuttons 

The KPCx8 has eight backlit pushbuttons engraved with the 
designations of:
