FUNCTION 

The FMR1 Fixture Module - Relay is a high quality wire-in 
home automation load controller that is capable of turning 
120VAC appliances and fluorescent lamps ON and OFF based 
on digital commands received over the power wiring from a 
remote UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) controller.  UPB 
controllers and modules can be freely located anywhere 
throughout the home.  No additional wiring is required and 
no radio frequency signals are used for communication.

INSTALLATION 

The Fixture Module – Relay is designed for indoor use with 
devices that are permanently wired into the home electrical 
system. To install the FMR1 module: 

1.

 

Locate the device to be controlled. Note that the device 
power rating must not exceed 20 amps. 

2.

 

Disconnect power at the circuit breaker. 

3.

 

Remove any existing ceiling or wall fixture hardware for the 
device. Disconnect the black wire that supplies power to 
the device. 

4.

 

Using a wire nut, connect the 

black

 (Line) wire of the 

fixture module to the 

black

 (Line) power wire. 

5.

 

Using a wire nut, connect the 

red

 (load output) wire of the 

fixture module to the 

black

 wire from the lighting fixture or 

device being controlled. 

6.

 

Using a large wire nut, connect the 

white

 (Neutral) wire of 

the fixture module to the 

white

 (Neutral) power wire and 

the 

white

 wire from the lighting fixture. 

7.

 

Refer to instructions on CONFUGRATION and OPERATION 
prior to placing the fixture module in its final location, as it 
may be necessary to have access to the Program Switch in 
order to add the module to the UPB network and test its 
operation. Temporarily restore power in order to perform 
these functions. Disconnect power again when finished. 

8.

 

Once proper operation is established, fit the module into 
the outlet box or otherwise secure it using wire ties or 
fitting the nipple into a ½” knockout. Reinstall fixture 
hardware as needed. 

 

CAUTION

: Do not insert metal objects into the module while it is 

connected to power.
