Load Center: Metal enclosure with power relays, transformer, and circuit breakers. The Load Center is
Installed prior to Personality Kit installation. Used for distributing power for controlling IntelliTouch
Systems. Also known as the “sub-panel.”
Low Voltage Compartment: Top compartment of Load Center for all low voltage wiring.
Low Voltage Raceway: Vertical space in the left side of Power/Load Center for low voltage cabling.
Megabits-per-second ( Mbps): Transmission speed of 1,000,000 bits per second.
Megahertz (MHz): A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.
MobileTouch Controller: Wireless controller for the IntelliTouch Systems with all the functionality of the
Indoor Control Panel.
Outdoor Control Panel: Control panel with flexible hinge installed in upper portion of Power/Load
Center to control IntelliTouch systems.
Personality Board: The circuit board mounted on top of the Outdoor Control Panel motherboard. The
Personality board defines the system capabilities.
Personality Kit: Set of parts to define the capability of a system; may include: Outdoor Control Panel,
temperature sensors, actuators, and additional relays.
Power Center: Same as Load Center with the exception of the circuit breaker base.
Relay Circuits: The circuits that control the relays on the Personality Board. Connectors on top edge of
the circuit board.
RF: Radio Frequency.
Screw Terminal Connector: Removable connector that may attach to circuit board with multiple
sockets (anywhere from 2 to 12) to receive wires from controllers and sensors; wires held by screw
terminals; multiple wires of a small enough gauge (usually 22 AWG) may be coupled to a single socket
of a terminal connector.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. A value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for your
wireless network card must match the SSID for any Access Point that you want to connect with. If the
value does not match, you are not granted access to the network.
Transceiver: Circuit board with attached antenna that can send and receive radio frequency (wireless)
transmissions.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy is a 64 bit and 128 bit (64 bit is sometimes referred to as 40 bit)
encryption protocol. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is
protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
Wi-Fi: Wireless Fidelity is meant to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network,
whether 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a. A seal of approval from the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance
(WECA).
WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network is a type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio
waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes.
