Appendix F – Glossary

Data Cable

– Is a six wire CAT3 construction which has both the power and data that supplies each

Sentinel

™. Using non-standard cable is not recommended and may void warranty.

Mispick

– When an incorrect battery is selected. Information about mispicks is recorded and available for

viewing through the website.

Port or Receptacle

– Slot into which a specified jack is inserted

Running Dark

– When the system is gathering information but there is no battery selection guidance

provided. This allows personnel to collect raw data to compare it with performance after iBOS

system is

implemented.

Scrolling Display-

a 24” LED display that is an option to communicate next battery. There is one per pool.

Sentinel

™

– Charger monitoring device that monitors the voltage from the DC cable and communicates to

the Control Box via a wired bus.

Sentinel

™

Bus

–

This is the chain of Sentinels

™ that are connected to the Control Box. Standard Control

Box has 4 buses to connect up to 200 Sentinels

™. The limit is 50 Sentinels™/bus.

Spring-latch audio socket

– Connects the optional External Shouter to the Control Box with spring-loaded

connectors.

Touch Display

–

Touch screen (Wireless or Wired) display communicates with the Control Box and shows

next battery to take. This interface removes the need for RTM software on a separate computer.

Upload (data)

– through the Ethernet connection event data and system settings will upload to the

iBOSworld.com website on a periodic basis (usually a few times/day). This is not a user settable feature.

iBOSworld.com

– Website portal for all system data. Login access is created by Philadelphia Scientific

and the site requires an active subscription for viewing data.
