FUNCTION
PulseWorx products are designed to provide simple remote
control for lighting and other electrical loads without having
to run any new wiring. They connect (or “link”) to one another
by communicating over the existing electrical power wires.
The WS1 Wall Switch series is a high quality light-switch/dimmer
that not only allows for local rocker switch control of a lighting
load but also incorporates PCS’s innovative UPB® two-way
powerline communication technology that gives it the ability to
be remotely controlled by other UPB® compatible controllers.
The WS1 is highly configurable to allow for behaviors customized
to each individual’s desires. The WS1 is capable of storing up to
16 preset light levels and fade rates to create powerful lighting
scenes. The WS1 is also capable of transmitting UPB® messages
(including a current light level report) when rocker switch events
occur.
The RWS Remote Wall Switch (Figure 2) is an optional low cost
accessory to the WS1. The RWS acts like a secondary Decora-
style rocker switch for replacing or creating a three-way
lighting control circuit. The RWS connects to the load
controlling device (WS1) through the single yellow traveler
wire normally found in a traditional three-way lighting control
circuit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical products, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1.
Keep away from water. If the product comes in contact
with water or other liquid, turn off the circuit breaker and
remove the product immediately.
2.
Never use products that have been dropped or damaged.
3.
Do not use this product outdoors.
4.
Do not use this product for other than its intended purpose.
5.
Do not cover this product with any material when in use.
AIR-GAP SWITCH
The WS1D/DL/E rocker switches have an air-gap switch that will
remove all power from the load for safe installation and bulb
replacement. To activate the air-gap switch firmly press the rocker
bottom until you hear a loud “click” or you see the SYSTEM “OFF”
label on the top rocker.
INSTALLATION
Follow these instructions to replace an existing wall switch with
a WS1:
1.
Before installing the Wall Switch into a wall box, ensure that
power to the wall box has been disconnected by removing the
fuse or turning the circuit breaker off. Installing products
while the power is on may expose you to dangerous voltage
and may damage the product.

Disconnect the wires from the existing wall switch. Identify
the “Line”, "Neutral", “Load" and “Control/Traveler” wires.
4.
Wire the PulseWorx Wall Switch and any RWS connecting
wires per wiring configuration shown in Figure 3. Cap off any
unused wires from the device
5.
Gently place the wires and Wall Switch into the wall box, with
light emitting diode (LED) at the top of device. Screw in place.
6.
Before installing the faceplate, restore power to the circuit
and test the device for proper local operation.
7.
After testing, re-install the faceplate cover(s).
