Model 36A00-1 UPB™ Powerline Interface Module
DESCRIPTION
The Model 36A00-1 UPB™ Powerline Interface Module (PIM) is a plug-in module designed to interface to a serial port on an
OmniLT, Omni II, or OmniPro II controller to transmit and receive UPB™ signals over the powerline.
INSTALLATION
Plug the Model 36A00-1 UPB™ Powerline Interface Module (PIM) into a 120 VAC outlet. Plug one end of the supplied 6 conductor
modular cable to a serial port on the HAI controller and plug the other end into the modular connector on the Model 36A00-1.
Use the 36A05-2 PIM to PC Cable & Connector (purchased separately) to connect the HAI Model 36A00-1 UPB™ Powerline
Interface Module (PIM) to a standard DB-9 serial port. The 36A05-2 is used to connect the PIM to the HAI Model 10A17-1 Serial
Interface Module for controlling UPB™ devices through an HAI controller, or to a PC for configuring UPB™ devices using the
UPB™ UPStart configuration software.
STATUS LED
The Status LED on the Model 36A00-1 will blink red when it transmits a UPB™ signal on the powerline and it will blink green when
it receives a valid UPB™ signal over the powerline.
PROGRAM BUTTON
HAI controllers communicate with the Model 36A00-1 UPB™ Powerline Interface Module in Message Mode. While Message Mode
is the factory default mode of the PIM, the UPB™ UPStart configuration software uses the Pulse Mode of the PIM. If the PIM is in
Pulse Mode when connected to an HAI controller, the “Receive” LED on the HAI Serial port will be on steady. The Program button
on the left side of the Model 36A00-1 can be used to set the PIM to factory default (i.e. back to Message Mode). To set the Model
36A00-1 to factory default, do the following:
Step Operation
1
Press the Program button five (5) times quickly in a row.
2
The LED should start to blink green to indicate it is in Setup Mode.
3
Press the Program button ten (10) times quickly in a row.
4
The LED should start to blink red to indicate that the Factory Defaults have been set.
5
Press the Program button one (1) more time.
6
The LED should stop blinking to indicate that it is ready for normal operation.
Note:
It is normal for this module to make a slight buzzing sound during operation.
