PIM HAI Part Number: 36A00-1
Case of 12: 36A00-1CS

Requirements:

  • If you are using an HAI home control system with HLC switches, you must install this part.

  • If you are using the HAI Upstart Configuration software you must install this part and a cable to connect your PIM to a computer (HAI Part Number 36A05-2).

Recommendation:

HAI recommends that every HAI Lighting Control (HLC) installation include a Phase Coupler (HAI Part Number 39A00-1).

Usage

In an HLC System the Powerline Interface Module (PIM) sends and receives UPB™ signals over the powerline. It comes with a cable for connecting the PIM to a serial port on an HAI Home Control System.

The PIM is compatible with HAI's Lumina, Lumina Pro, Omni LT, Omni II, Omni IIe, and OmniPro II home control systems.

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.

Diagram

LED

The status light on the PIM will blink red when it transmits a UPB™ signal on the powerline and it will blink green when it receives a valid UPB™ signal on the powerline.

Options

The UPB™ PIM to computer cable (HAI Part Number 36A05-2) is used to connect the PIM to a computer's standard DB-9 serial port for use with HAI UPB™ UPStart configuration software.

If your Omni LT home control system does not have an available serial port, HAI offers the HLC Expansion Kit for Omni LT (HAI Part Number 36A10-1) to add another serial port for the PIM to use.
