APPENDIX A – UNDERSTANDING HLC 

A2 

 
HLC OVERVIEW 

 
HAI Lighting Control (HLC) combines HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and Modules, HAI UPB™ Room Controllers, and HAI 
UPB™ House 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. 
 
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: 
 

 

Up to 7 HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and/or Modules (for controlling up to 7 lighting loads in a room or area)  

 

1 or more Room Controllers (set a scene in a room, turn the room on and off, and dim and brighten the room) 

 

1 House Controller (for controlling up to 8 rooms of HLC lighting) 

 
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).

About Room Controllers 

 
The HAI UPB™ 6-Button Room Controller allows for lighting control of a room where HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and 
Modules have been installed. From a Room Controller the room can be turned off (all loads in the group are turned off), turned on (all 
loads in the group are turned on), brightened (all loads are brightened from their current level), dimmed (all loads are dimmed from 
their current level), or set to one of 4 lighting scenes (A-D).   
 

Room Controller LED Indicators 

 
When the room is turned on, the LED indicator behind the “On” button is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the room is 
turned off, the LED indicator behind the “Off” button is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the room is brightened, the 
LED indicator behind the “On” is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the room is dimmed, the LED indicator that is 
currently illuminated stays on.  When the room is set to a lighting scene (A-D), the LED indicator behind the respective scene letter is 
illuminated and all others are turned off.
