Tabletop Pedestal Enclosure 

Model ZTP2 

 

FUNCTION 

The Tabletop Pedestal Enclosure, model ZTP2, is used to table 
mount a Simply Automated, model US2, Universal Dimming 
Transceiver Base and any of the matching, multi- rocker or push-
button faceplates.  With the ZTP2, a qualified technician can wire 
in a quad-rocker switch or even an 8-button controller.  Once 
assembled, the Tabletop controller can be configured to activate 
other UPB devices, such as lamp modules, dimming switches and 
UPB lighting scenes.  
 
The Tabletop Pedestal can be located anywhere in the home.  
They are conveniently used on a bedside nightstand, on the desk 
in a home office or next to the favorite TV recliner.  No additional 
wiring is required and no radio frequency signals are used. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

When using electrical products, basic safety precautions should 
always be followed, including the following: 

1.  READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. 

2.   Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. 
3.  Keep away from water.  If product comes into contact with 

water or other liquid, unplug immediately. 

4.  Never use products that have been dropped or damaged. 
5.  Do not use this product outdoors. 
6.  Do not use this product for other than its intended use. 
7.  To avoid risk of fire, burns, personal injury and electric shock, 

install this product out of reach of small children.  

8.  Do not cover the product with cloth, paper or any material 

when in use. 

9.  This product uses polarized plugs and sockets (one blade is 

wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of 
electric shock.  These plugs and sockets fit only one way.  If 
they do not fit, contact a qualified technician.  Do not use with 
an extension cord unless plugs can be fully inserted.  Do not 
alter or replace plugs. 

10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

INSTALLATION 

The Tabletop Pedestal is designed for indoor use.  

1.  Check to make sure all ZTP2 parts are available: enclosure 

lid and base, 2 enclosure screws (6/32 x 1 ¼ inch), 3 wire 
nuts, power cord, and a strain relief grommet.  US2 
transceiver and faceplate are sold separately.  

2.  To prepare the US2 transceiver first cut off ground wire, then 

bend remaining wires toward the top of the transceiver and 
cut the wires approximately 2 inches above the transceiver 
body, as shown in figure 1.

3.  Strip back US2 wires (0.375 inches), as indicated on the strip 

gauge located on back of the US2-40.  Install a wire nut on 
the brown wire to prevent this un-used wire from shorting or 
causing shock. 

4.  Remove the two (6/32 x ¾ inch) mounting screws and 

retainers from the US2 transceiver.  These two screws and 
retainer will not be needed. 

5.  Install the rocker or button faceplate of choice on the front of 

the US2 transceiver as described in the US2 installation 
instructions.  

6.  Thread the stripped wire end of the power cord through the 

hole in the base of the pedestal so that approximately 6 
inches of the power cord wires are available from inside the 
base of the enclosure.  

7.  From the two wires of the power cord inside the base 

enclosure, locate the ribbed neutral wire.  Note the ribbed 
neutral wire is connected to the large blade on the plug of the 
power cord.  Using a wire nut, connect this ribbed neutral 
wire of the power cord to the white wire of the US2 
transceiver. 

8.  Using a wire nut connect the non-ribbed power cord wire to 

the black wire of the US2 transceiver.  

9.  Install the US2 transceiver in the enclosure base so that the 

wire nuts are tucked into the large end of the base; above the 
power cord hole and below the top mounting bracket of the 
US2 transceiver, see figure 2.
