Configuring the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer

The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer is highly configurable. Many of its configuration options can only be enabled or 

modified with the use of the UPB™ UPStart configuration software. Table 4 describes the many configuration options 

available that can be set up with the use of the UPB™ UPStart configuration software.
NOTE: Although the factory default operation of the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch is useful in many situations, it is highly 

recommended that your Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch be configured with a Leviton controller or UPB™ UPStart configuration 

software so that you can take advantage of its many configurable features.

Changing Preset Light Levels

The Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer is specially designed to work with an Leviton controller consisting of Leviton Room 

Controllers and Leviton House Controllers. Pushbuttons on these controllers can be configured to activate the Preset Light 

Levels and Fade Rates stored in the Leviton UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer. Once configured, the homeowner can easily adjust 

the Preset Light Level that gets activated by a particular pushbutton by following this simple procedure.
