Product Overview

The Pentair 521936Z IntelliCenter i5PS Personality Card is a genuine OEM expansion daughter card designed for compatible Pentair IntelliCenter automation systems.

The card slide-connects directly to an existing i5P main motherboard and converts the system from an i5P single-body configuration to an i5PS Pool & Spa shared-equipment configuration.
