Connect to the Protocol Adapter

The IntelliTouch ScreenLogic Protocol adapter is connected to the Personality board located in the Load Center or
Power Center via a four-wire cable. Before connecting the cable to the adapter, first determine the length of cable
required for the connection.

Protocol Adapter Location: The IntelliTouch wireless router and Protocol adapter should be located inside in a
dry environment, preferably near the home owners DSL/Cable modem. If the wireless router is too far from the
pool area, then you may need to move the wireless router closer to the pool area by running an Ethernet cable from
the DSL/Cable Modem connection out to the Protocol adapter and wireless router. For wireless router location
requirement, refer to “ScreenLogic Location Requirements,” page 17.

Note: Existing Indoor Control Panel - If there is an existing IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel, you can
tap directly into the wire in the home or pig tail off the connector in the Indoor Control Panel. This avoids
having to run a separate four wire from the Load Center to the Protocol adapter.

To connect to the Protocol adapter:

1. Connect the Four-Wire Cable: Run a four conductor cable (22 AWG UL approved) from the Load

Center or Power Center location to the adapter. Place the adapter in a dry area near the wireless router.
Ideally, both devices should be located near the home owners DSL or Cable modem.

2. Grasp the Protocol adapter with one hand, and with your other hand gently pull outward on screw terminal

connector to remove it from its socket.

3. Strip back the four cable conductors ¼ inch. Insert the four wires into the connector screw terminals. Secure

the wires with the four screws. Make sure to match the color coding of the wires with the pin colors indicated
on the adapter label. The pin numbers and wire color codes are:

1

BLK = Ground

2

GRN = -DT

3

YEL = +DT

4

RED = +15 VDC

4. Insert the screw terminal connector onto the pins on the adapter circuit board. Note that the connector is

keyed for the correct orientation.

5. Proceed to “Connect to the Personality Board,” page 25.
