X10 Coupler-Repeater & UPB?

Dec 02, 2005 3 Replies

Will the Leviton 32120-1 whole house surge suppressor or, Leviton DHC System Amplifier/Repeater/Coupler Module; HCA02-10E adversely affect UPB signaling or devices?

Has anyone seen the need for the HAI UPB Phase Coupler in a residential deployment...yet?

Is UPB living up to it's hype for reliablity and speed?



Thanks, Scott



It is claimed about 10% of the homes in the US require a UPB Phase coupler.

I have found you will know in the beginning. Unlike X-10 they may not need it now but may later, UPB seems to be now or never. I installed switches in a clients home of 6k square feet. I had to install it immediately to get all switches working.

For professionals it is always safer to use it and not need it.

Homeowners, I suggest wait until you need it... you may not. HAI's phase coupler is about the same prices as a light switch.

I have yet to dicover a problem in UPB in reliability and speed. I use them, and like the felxability in programming they provide.
