Overview

  • Phase coupler gets UPB signals from one electrical phase to the other for increased reliability
  • Built-in surge suppression protects components on both electrical phases from surge damage
  • Universal phase coupler also passes X10 and broadband frequencies

Essential Info

Are Universal Powerline Bus (UPB)-controlled lights or appliances in one area of your house having trouble receiving signals from UPB transmitters in another area of the house? Because most homes have 2-phase 220V power that splits into two separate 110V legs, sometimes UPB signals have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other. But connect the Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler in your home's circuit breaker panel, and it will bridge UPB signals between the two power lines in your home easily, allowing virtually all of your UPB receivers to respond to UPB signals. This universal phase coupler even passes X10 signals from one electrical phase to the other, and it also features built-in surge suppression to protect components on both electrical phases from surge damage.

    Universal Phase Coupler Also Passes X10 Signals
    Besides UPB signals, this universal phase coupler can also pass X10 and broadband frequencies. This is extremely convenient for homes using multiple automation technologies since only one phase coupler is required to deliver signals from one electrical phase to the other.

    Installation
    The Breaker Panel Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler is designed to be installed into a Cutler-Hammer, Square-D, Murray, or GE residential load center.

    Inverting Phase Coupler Compensates for Inverted Signals
    Unlike conventional phase couplers, the Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler is an inverting phase coupler, meaning that it compensates for inverted signals reflected back from street-side power distribution transformers. Inverted signals can have a canceling effect on source signals even when using conventional phase couplers, an issue eliminated by the Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler. A universal inverting phase coupler is recommended on every main power panel and sub-panel in a residence to ensure maximum signal strength. A Wire-In UPB Phase Coupler is also available that installs in a junction box.
