Product Information Product Information The UPC20+ Universal Power Control is a dual 20 Amp AC power and motor controller designed for conduit installation. The UPC20+ is housed in a compact metal wall-mount enclosure and is configurable for a wide variety of power and motor control modes. Low voltage contact-closures, open collector inputs or serial data from an AMX IR receiver enable control by simple wall panels, remote systems, or hand-held transmitters.

Installation Installation P1 Terminal Connections Low voltage power (see the table below) for internal circuitry is provided from an on-board transformer, powered by an external 120 or 240 VAC source. An onboard switch is used to select input voltage. When using the UPC20+ for 277 VAC control, the on-board internal circuitry is powered by a separate 120/240 VAC line, or from an optional 12 VDC power supply.

Installation Dual circuit 277 VAC Dual circuit connections provide power from 277 VAC for fluorescent ballasts (FIG. 6). Circuit board power is provided by a separate 120/240 VAC high voltage circuit, or 12 VDC connected to terminals 1 and 6 on the low voltage terminal block. For dual circuit 120/240 VAC operation, remove the short 12 AWG wire jumper.
Installation Installing the UPC20+ To install the UPC20+ unit: 1. Mount the UPC20+ on a wall or solid surface in the location where it will be used; it can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. 2. Remove the cover. 3. Prepare terminal block P1. a. Set power switch S1. b. Configure jumpers according to high voltage wiring requirements. 4. Install conduit. Provide conduit for high voltage, low voltage and control wiring requirements using the 0.5 inch or 0.75 inch conduit connector knockouts. 5.
