 Keypad
Load Dimmer Controller (KPLD)
The KPLD Keypad
Load Dimmer is an all-in-one Keypad Controller and Light Dimmer
in a single package. This new line of controllers incorporates
the functionality of our famous KPC Keypad Controllers and
a 400W Dimmer Switch.
The KPLD is available
in both 6-button and 8-button versions. It can transmit
and receive UPB digital commands over the existing electrical
wiring to remotely turn ON, OFF, and dim its own lighting load
as well as trigger dramatic scenes throughout the home.
Controller Features
Programmable Button Modes
Each pushbutton can be programmed to control any of
over 250 scenes or devices. Different control commands can
be configured for the single-tap, double-tap, hold and release
events.
Scene Control
Pushbuttons can be used to activate its load or scene as
well as to adjust the scene's stored light levels.
Load Control
The
400W rating can be configured to act as a dimmer or switch.
Programmable
LED Feedback
LEDs illuminate when ON-type commands are both transmitted or received and extinguish when OFF-type are transmitted or received.
Aesthetic Design with Keypad
Backlighting
The blue lighted oval pushbuttons can be faintly lit to aid in finding the keypad in the dark, are are worthy of high-end installations.
Easy Installation
Color-coded white (Neutral), black (Hot), red (Load) leads are provided for direct connection to AC wires.
Operation
The Keypad Load Dimmer is capable of being a member of up to 16 links or scenes. Scenes allow you to control a single light or multiple lights with one button. Program each button to trigger a different scene, control specific lights or your whole house. Lights will ramp to a desired brightness level at a rate from .8 seconds to 1 hour. Certain lights can dim
slowly while others turn off instantly, all controlled with a press of a button.
The dimmer portion is pre-programmed with 7 preset scenes
with a light level to create inviting moods right out of the
box. The Dimmer controls incandescent lights, low-voltage
halogen, magnetic or dimmable electronic transformers. There
is also the capability to set the KPLD to a non-dimming mode
in order to control such loads as fluorescent lights.
Programming
the pushbuttons will allow different UPB commands for each
of four events: single-tap, double-tap, hold and release.
The operation of the LEDs can also be configured to extinguish
other LEDs when it is illuminated to minimize confusion about
which scene is activated. Furthermore each LED can illuminate
when an On-type command is transmitted or received and it
can extinguish when an Off-type command is transmitted or
received or vice versa. The 6-Button version has six backlit
horizontal pushbuttons as well as a vertical rocker
pushbutton. The 8-button has eight horizontal pushbuttons.
Each horizontal button can be custom engraved (minimal charge)
for ease of use and to add beauty and functionality to any
room.
The KPLD is a wire-in wall mounted device. Installation
is simple – just mount in a wall box and connect to line and
neutral.

an entire network off-line and then download the information
into the devices after they are installed in the home.
PulseWorx Lighting Control System
The Keypad Controllers are designed to be an integral part
of a complete PulseWorx Lighting Control System. Like all PulseWorx
devices, the KPLD uses the patented UPB™ powerline communication
technology (invented by PCS) to reliably communicate with any
other UPB-compatible device(s) over the existing house electrical
wires. No new wires are necessary making PulseWorx perfect
for retrofit situations. When initial configuration is complete,
a single push of a button is all you need to activate any group
of lights (or virtually anything else that connects to AC power
wiring) throughout the house simultaneously.
