Usage

A Scene Switch (also known as a Room Controller) allows you to control all lights in a room or area. Lights may be turned on, off, dimmed, brightened, and set to four different scenes to provide limitless options for both security and aesthetic lighting in your home.


A SCENE SWITCH IS
A POWERFUL TOOL FOR CREATING
SOPHISTICATED LIGHTING CONTROL

A Scene Switch is an optional device in an HLC installation. It is capable of controlling up to 7 UPB™ switches. Scene Switches may act as stand-alone devices to create simple lighting control for homeowners who do not desire a home control system.

HLC Products work as stand-alone or with a Home Control System.

An HAI home control system has the ability to change your light settings by the time of day, a set schedule, by the triggering of events (including motion), via a telephone call, Touchscreen, Smartphone, or by a computer connected to the Internet.

Generation II UPB About HLC

All HLC products are UL Listed and use Generation II Universal Powerline Bus (UPB™) – a digital communications standard for lighting and home control that ensures superior reliability. UPB™ has been extensively tested and researched in residential environments and found to be 99.9 percent reliable. UPB™ works over existing wires in a home and does not require new wiring.

Easy to Set Scenes

No home control system or software is required for you to change lighting scenes on a Scene Switch. The 4 scenes on a Scene Switch are easily set by first pressing the Scene Switch button that is to remember the scene, then setting the lights it controls to the desired levels, and then quickly pressing the same Scene Switch button 5 times in a row.

Scene Switch Remote Control Remote Control

Scene Switches have an integrated infrared sensor and its buttons may be activated by a remote control (HAI Part Number 38A14-1). This remote control allows the homeowner to activate any button on the room's scene switch or any button on up to three other scene switches in the house.

Custom Engraving

A Scene Switch may have its buttons custom engraved to "name" the scene for each button using HAI Part Number 38A06-2.
