FUNCTION
Model US2-V04
The Anywhere Virtual Accessory Switch
for remote lighting and appliance control replaces an existing mechanical
switch and use the existing switch wires (white neutral wire required) to
provide virtual 3-way remote control - no traveler wires or batteries
needed. The Anywhere Virtual Remote Lighting and Appliance Control
Switch and Accessories offer a cost effective alternative for the
professional electrician – versus running costly new wiring or using
wireless 3-way consumer DIY options that do not always work. The US2-
V04 remotely controls lighting and loads connected to any number of the
accessories, including other Anywhere Switches (US1-V0, US2-V0 or
V3WAY-A or -B), controlled receptacles (URD-V0), plug-in (UMA-V0) and
wire-in (UFR-V0) relay modules. And, use Anywhere Scheduler-Timer
(UCS-V0) for automatic control and expanded functionality.
The switch has a (900 Watt maximum, 1 Watt minimum) output circuit wire
that can be connected to control a local light/load circuit. If only a remote
light circuit needs to be controlled, simply use a wire nut (included) to cap
the unused output wire. Top-left-rocker – pressing the top of the rocker
turns on the switch output and remotes set on channel #2 (status LED
shines green). Pressing the bottom of the rocker turns off the switch
output and channel #2 remotes (status LED shines blue). Other-rockers –
pressing the top/bottom of the rocker turns on/off remotes set on channel
1 (bottom-left), channel 3 (top-right) and 4 (bottom-right).
The top-left rocker controls the 900W output load wire and any number of
Anywhere devices on channel #2 (e.g. another US2-V0). The other
rockers controls any number of Anywhere devices on channels 1 (bottom-
left rocker), 3 (top-right rocker) and 4 (bottom-right rocker). These
transmit channels are fixed, they cannot be changed. However, the
faceplate can be changed from 2-rockers to a 3- or 4- rocker faceplate for
control of up to 4 lighting zones (see faceplate models ZS23 and ZS24).
Using the Scheduler-Timer (model UCS-V0) the US2-V0 switch and other
Anywhere devices can be set to receive 4 separate channels. This allows
the switch to respond to a channel that can be used as “All On/Off”, and
also respond to a separate channel for manual, or automatic scheduled /
timed control (8 channels are available) with UCS-V0. The switch also
has a thermal overload protection mechanism. It will cycle the switch off if
it gets too hot, helping prevent accidental overload. An over-loaded switch
will cycle off/on/off/on… until the switch is turned off or the load is reduced
to within specifications.
The professional grade Anywhere Virtual Accessory Switch and Anywhere
Accessories for remote lighting control employ Simply Automated’s
advanced powerline communication technology. This technology is safe
and reliable. It has no radio frequency (RF) emissions, and is used
reliably in tens of thousands of homes with no adverse affects to
appliances, stereo equipment, ham radios, cordless phones, wireless RF
modems/devices, computer equipment or other home automation
technology like the much less reliable X10. In fact the technology is
employed in freeway bridge applications spanning over a mile. The
Anywhere Switch US2-V0 is compatible with Simply Automated’s
“Anywhere” switches and accessories, including: Anywhere Switches
(US1-V0 & US2-V0), controlled receptacle (URD-V0), plug-in (UMA-V0)
and wire-in (UFR-V0) relay modules. ‘Anywhere’ switches and
accessories are
not compatible (will not talk to or work) with any of
Simply Automated’s PC-Configured, Pre-Configured, SimplySmart
TM
,
or other UPB or UPStart configured product solutions.

INSTALLATION
The Anywhere Virtual Accessory Switch is designed to be installed in a
junction box that is wired to a readily accessible over-current protection
device in the building wiring per NEC and CEC electrical codes.
CAUTION:
DO NOT CONNECT TO RECEPTACLE – USE MODEL
URD-V0 CONTROLLED RECEPTACLE. The default switch
configuration operates as an on/off switch; using a single tap to the
top/bottom of the rocker to turn on/off.
ATTENTION
: NE PAS SE CONNECTER A RECIPIENTS.
La configuration du commutateur par défaut fonctionne comme un
interrupteur marche / arrêt, à l'aide d'une simple pression vers le haut
/ bas de la bascule pour activer / désactiver.
CAUTION:
DO NOT WIRE THIS DEVICE WITH POWER
CONNECTED. Injury or permanent damage to the device
may result. Improper installation voids the product warranty.
1.
Locate the existing wall switch where the Anywhere Virtual
Accessory Switch will be installed. Note that the connected lamp
rating (or the combined rating of all connected lamps/loads) must not
exceed what is shown in the de-rating table below.
