APPENDIX A – UNDERSTANDING HLC
HLC Overview
HAI Lighting Control (HLC) combines HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and Modules, HAI UPB™ Room Controllers, HAI
UPB™ House Controllers, and HAI UPB™ Lumina Mode Controllers to create lighting scenes that set the proper mood and
ambiance for various activities throughout a home.
HLC format is a defined structure for configuring, programming, and operating all the HLC lighting devices in a home.
Room Controllers control up to 7 lighting loads in a room. House Controllers control up to 8 Rooms of HLC lighting. Lumina
Room Controllers set the Lumina mode.
HAI manufactured UPB™ devices (collectively referred to as HLC devices) are configured using the Lumina keypad.
About Rooms
Each “room” of HLC lighting consists of 8 consecutive unit numbers, starting at Unit 1 (i.e. Room 1 = Units 1-8, Room 2 = Units
9-16, Room 3 = Units 17-24, etc.). Each room can consist of a maximum of 8 HLC devices, configured as follows:
¾
Up to 7 HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and/or Modules (for controlling up to 7 lighting loads in a room or area)
¾
1 or more Room Controllers (set a scene in a room, turn the room on and off, and dim and brighten the room)
¾
1 Lumina Mode Controller (for setting the current Lumina mode)
¾
1 House Controller (for controlling up to 8 rooms of HLC lighting)
¾
1 or more House Controllers (used as a general purpose 8 button keypad controllers)
The first unit number in each room (i.e. 1, 9, 17, 25, etc.) is reserved for controlling the room; this is where the Room Controller
will reside. The name for this unit should reflect the room name (e.g. Living Room, Kitchen, Great Room, Theater, etc.).
HLC Wall Switches, Dimmers, or Modules cannot be programmed to these unit numbers. If one or more Room Controllers are
used, the first Room Controller should be set to the first unit number in the group (i.e. Unit 1 – Room 1); additional Room
Controllers can be used by setting each to any other unused unit number in the group between the 2
nd
and 7
th
unit number
(i.e. Unit 2-7 – Room 1).
