To delete a scene-link # from one or more devices:
Go to the UCS and press the Menu button to view the main menu. Press the down button 7 times to
select Tools, then press Enter
8
. Press the Down button three times to select Delete Link, then press the
Enter
8
button.
?
Use the Up or Down buttons to select the link number to be deleted, then press Enter
8
. If you are not
sure of the scene-link #, see Read Link section below.
?
Go to the unit(s) that will have the desired scene-link # deleted and press each modules' program button
(or any button or rocker on each switch to be deleted) 5 times quickly to place unit(s) in the setup mode.
Helpful Hint: Modules and dimmers will stay in the setup mode for approximately 5 minutes. You can always confirm if the
module/dimmer is in the setup mode by checking for a blinking green indicator. If the indicator is not flashing green, to
place in the setup mode, quickly tap the dimmer's top rocker or modules program switch five times. To exit the setup
mode, quickly tap the rocker or program switch two times.
?
Next press the Enter
8
button on the UCS to delete the link from all units in the setup mode.
Read Link
The Read Link function will sense a scene-link transmitted over the power line and display the scene-link
ID#, as well as the Network ID#. This function is helpful when trying to determine the scene-link number
sent from a device, or the Network ID# when adding a new device.
To read the Network ID# and a scene-link ID# transmitted from a device:
?
Go to the UCS and press the Menu button to view the main menu. Press the down button 7 times to
select Tools, then press Enter
8
. Press the Down button four times to select Read Link, then press the
Enter
8
button.
?
The UCS screen will display <Monitoring UPB> until a scene-link is sensed. Press a button or rocker
that transmits the scene-link. When a scene-link is received, the UCS will display the Network ID#, Link #
and type (e.g. activate or deactivate).
?
Repeat as needed, the last link sensed will be displayed until the Enter
8
or Menu button is pressed.
Noise (and Signal) View
The Noise View function senses and displays powerline noise and UPB signal levels. When the UCS is in
the Noise View mode it will not run scheduled events. When powerline noise is present the display shows
the level, from 1 to 5 bars (5 being highest). If a signal is sensed, the signal measurement is displayed as
a number between 1 and 120. Signals should be 13 or higher, with no noise present, for 100% reliable
communication. These functions are useful when diagnosing communication issues. If the slightest noise
is present on the power line the UCS displays the level and writes the measurement to the Noise Log (see
Noise Log section, below). If the UCS is left in the Noise View mode for an extended period of time (e.g.
overnight, or for a few days), the Noise Log will record the time, day and level of the noise measured.
If no noise is measured and a receiving device is not turning on/off, communication can be checked by
plugging in the UCS at a receiving device (or on the circuit of a receiving device) to read the signal level
received from the transmitter. This can help with troubleshooting, determining if the signal is too low or if
the receiving unit has a configuration or hardware issue (e.g. the signal is strong enough – 13 or higher - to
be received, but the device is not responding).
