DESCRIPTION
Model USQT Tabletop Scene Controller Pedestal is designed around
the popular SimplyBrilliant® UCQT-40 Scene Controller that has 4
programmable buttons and 4 status LEDs. The USQT pedestal is
available in white or black (models USQT-W and USQT-BK, respectively).
It is easily configured with UPStart UPB configuration software,
a Computer Interface Module (UMC Series) and a personal
computer (PC). Custom label kits are available (model ZLK-01S), so
the buttons and status LEDs can be easily labeled to identify the controlled
lighting scene or device.
The USQT transmits and receives UPB lighting scene links. It is used
as a UPB lighting scene or device controller, and provides ultrareliable
control of any UPB dimmer or relay device. The USQT also
listens for and receives lighting scene links allowing the status LEDs to
track and indicate the state of scenes, or individual light loads. Extremely
flexible with 8 LED status receive presets, the 4-LEDs can be
set to show which lights are on or off; inside or outside the home. It
can also transmit and receive lighting scene commands and status with other Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) controllers including any PC
/ security / home automation systems that provide a UPB serial driver
option (see FAQ) – to control virtually anything that connects to
AC power anywhere in the home.
SimplySmart™ manual scene link modification capabilities are
unique to Simply Automated devices. A user can easily change existing
scenes, adding or removing devices and adjusting light levels, by
pressing buttons in a specific sequence (see User Guide for details)
without using UPStart.
APPLICATIONS
Model USQT Tabletop Scene Controller Pedestal is most frequently
found on a bedroom nightstand and used to turn on lights quickly at
the sound of something strange in the night. Turn on/off exterior
security lights, garden or holiday lighting, downstairs lights, or all
lights without getting out of bed or leaving a room.
With the Tabletop Scene Controller just choose what UPB devices /
lights need to be controlled and set the buttons to activate/deactivate
the lighting scenes. The LEDs can be set to show which
scenes are activated, or even individual devices within a scene.
The scene controller is also useful in controlling master bedroom
lights as well. From a nightstand position, the scene controller can
turn on/off bathroom or closet lights, dim down room lights to better
watch TV, turn on night stand lights to read a book, or turn off lights
to go to sleep. There a several UPB modules, other than dimmer
switches, that are commonly controlled by the Tabletop Scene Controller
in the bedroom or throughout the home. Lamp modules (UML Series) are typically used for plug in lighting, like night stand or torch
lamps. Or, in outdoor lighting applications, Appliance Modules (model
UMA-20) are typically used to control low-voltage outdoor lighting
transformers and fixture modules (UFR / URD Series) for flood lights
when mounted behind the fixture.
Imagine the devices that can be controlled (E.g. turned on/off,
opened/closed, dimmed, blinked, timed-off, and scheduled) with Simply
Automated UPB devices and the Tabletop Controller: night lighting, fire-place/-pit, coffee pot, fountain, pumps, fans, garage
doors, gate, pool/spa equipment, heaters, aquarium pumps and
lights, and more…
The elegant design of the Tabletop Pedestal was made to complement
the decor of any home. As a convenient entertainment room
accessory or a nightstand necessity, the tabletop controller is an excellent
addition to any UPB home automation solution.
