 Powerline
Interface Powerpack (PIP-TS)
and Powerline Interface Module (PIM-A)
The Powerline Interface Powerpack (PIP-TS)
is an addressable powerline interface module and a power supply all in one
unit. It is designed to provide both the 12VDC
power and the UPB™ communication capabilities for the TouchScreen Timer (TSTD
or TSTW) to control lights, appliances, and set heating/air conditioning
systems remotely over the existing powerline.*
Features
Addressable Interface
Provides Unit ID for any controller in UPStart
Developer Friendly
PIP-TS offers UPB communication interface and 12VDC in
one unit
Improved Communication
PowerPulse Dual-Transmitter circuitry 50% more transmitting power
Simple Installation
Just plug into an electrical outlet
Feedback
True two-way UPB communication to touchscreen or processor
Adjustable Receive Sensitivity
If powerline noise is severe the sensitivity can be adjusted to filter out most noise
LED Power Indicator
LED used for night-light, programming and powerline signal monitoring
Perfect For Retrofit
Transmits signals over existing power wiring so there is no need for expensive hard wiring.
UPStart Configurable
Use UPStart to add PIP-TS or PIM-A to the network, perform communication tests and adjust sensitivity
All PCS products are completely
“Made in USA” and carry a five-year limited warranty and a one-year Money Back Guarantee for Certified Dealers.
The PIP-TS incorporates the very latest Gen II advancements,
PowerPulse, a dual-transmitter circuit which allows every transmission signal
to have 50% or more power to even further improve communication reliability.
Operation
Although specifically designed for use with the PulseWorx TouchScreen Timer (TST), the PIP-TS can also be used by developers of software or hardware-based automation controllers, as the standard UPB™ powerline interface device and power supply. This will allow any other device that has an RS-232 serial port and meets similar power requirements to be UPB compliant.
The PIP-TS has an output of 12VDC unregulated at 500mA
maximum. It operates at 4800 baud and communicates the exact same simple
ASCII-based command/report protocol found in the Message Mode of our
PIM-R Powerline Interface Module. This enables a simple solution for
developers to become a PulseWorx  Partner and create UPB™ Enabled devices
without having to become a Licensee or embed a chip and bring high voltage
into their device.
*The PIM-A provides the same functionality without the
power supply.
Easy To Install & Configure
The PIP-TS is simple to install – just plug it in to any wall outlet and connect a CAT-5 cable (up to 50' long) between it and the TouchScreen Timer.
UPStart Setup software will allow the PIP-TS to be added to any UPB network as well as perform communication testing or adjust its receive sensitivity in noisy environments.
