 Timed Event Controller (TEC)
The Timed Event Controller is a high quality plug-in home automation controller capable of transmitting and receiving digital commands over the existing powerlines at preset times.
A stand alone timer – the perfect alternative to whole house controllers.
New for Generation II
Enhanced Noise Immunity
Generation I devices sometimes would not respond, even manually, if there was a certain amount of noise on the powerline. Generation II now alleviates this type of situation.
Receive Sensitivity Adjustment
Now you can adjust the receive sensitivity in UPStart to improve communication in excessive powerline noise.
Cool Blue LED
The new status LED color gives your product a modern “high-tech” look.
Colors
The TEC comes in a Black colored plastic enclosure with a bi-color (blue/red)
status LED indicator.
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.
Operation
The TEC stores up to 20 individual timed events. Each event can be configured to occur, daily, during the work week, on weekends, on specific days of the week or on a specific day of the year. Event times can be specified as absolute times or relative to sunrise or sunset times (based on your geographic location). A Security Mode to randomly vary the event time each day within a user specified time window gives your home a lived in look. The Timed Event Controller has a 10 year battery back-up and will automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time and leap years. Multiple TEC’s can be supported in one system if more than 20 events are needed.
Transmits to the Powerline
The TEC transmits pre-configured commands at preset times. Select from a list of commands to be transmitted when each timed event occurs.
EXAMPLES:
- Bedroom Lights deactivate on Monday thru Friday at 11:00 PM
- Porch Lights activate on every day at 20 minutes after sunset
- Kid's BR Lights go to 0% on every day at 9:00 PM
- Landscape Lights go to 100% on every day at sunset.
Event Suspend
Each timed event can be temporarily suspended upon receiving a specific activate UPB link. It can then be unsuspended upon receiving the deactivate link command. This is very useful for setting up a keypad button to suspend a timed event on special days you don’t want the “normal” scheduled events to occur. This can also be used to allow certain events to only occur between specified months on the year.
Easy to Configure
Like all PulseWorx devices, the TEC can be initially configured using PCS’s free UPStart Software setup tool. UPStart enables configuring such parameters as Network Name, Network ID, Unit ID, Room name, Device name, default on light levels, fade rates, LED colors, dimming disable, auto shut-off time, etc. As well as test the operation and communication strength of the device. UPStart has the option to configure 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 Timed Event Controllers are designed to be an integral part of a complete PulseWorx Lighting Control System. Like all PulseWorx devices, the TEC 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.
