LAN: A Local Area Network (LAN) is a high-speed, low-error data network
covering a relatively small geographic area.
Load Center: Metal enclosure with power relays, transformer, and circuit
breakers. The Load Center is installed before to Personality Kit installation. Used
for distributing power for controlling IntelliTouch Control 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.
Wireless Controller: Wireless controller for IntelliCenter™ Control Systems with
all the functionality of the Indoor Control Panel.
Outdoor Control Panel: LCD color touch control panel with flexible hinge is
installed in upper portion of Power/Load Center and connected to the main circuit

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.
Transceiver: Circuit board with attached antenna that can send and receive radio
frequency (wireless) transmissions.
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. WiFi is a seal of approval
