◍ Extron Control Specialist.
Answer: EXAM COVERAGE - EXTRON CONTROL SPECIALISTThe
Extron Control Specialist exam focuses on the deployment and
customization of Pro Series control systems. Key areas include using Global
Configurator Professional for advanced logic and GUI Designer for creating
user-friendly touchpanel interfaces. Candidates must understand the
hardware capabilities of IPCP Pro processors and TouchLink Pro panels,
ensuring seamless integration of RS-232, IR, and Ethernet-controlled
devices. The exam emphasizes efficient driver management, system-wide
troubleshooting, and the secure configuration of AV networks to meet
professional industry standards.
◍ Energy.
Answer: The capacity to do work, and electrical energy is a type of kinetic
energy caused by the flow of electric charge
◍ Electric Charge.
Answer: a fundamental property of matter. Two kinds are positive and
negative. If an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then
the atom is electrically charged.
◍ Conductors.
Answer: materials that can easily give or receive free electrons. Valence
shell has only 1-3 electrons that are held to the nucleus with minimal force.
,◍ Insulators.
Answer: materials where the valence shell has 5 or more electrons and are
held to the nucleus with a stronger force.
◍ Electricity.
Answer: the energy produced when electrons are caused to directionally
move from atom to atom by the application of an external force. This flow
of electrons is called electrical current.
◍ Direct Current & Alternating Current.
Answer: The 2 ways the flow of electrons move in an electrical circuit.
◍ Direct Current.
Answer: a unidirectional flow of electric charge where the electrons move
from an area of negative charge to an area of positive charge without
changing direction.
◍ Alternating Current.
Answer: flow of electric charge where the electrons cyclically move from an
area of negative charge to an area of positive charge sinusoidally and
reversing direction at regular intervals of time.
◍ Magnetism.
Answer: the physical phenomenon of attractive and repulsive forces
generated in matter caused by the motion of electrons (electric charge)
within its atoms.
◍ Polarity.
Answer: in magnetism is the condition of an object where opposing physical
properties at different points can either attract or repel each other.
◍ Permanent Magnets & Electromagnets.
Answer: 2 categories of magnets
◍ Permanent Magnets.
Answer: made from materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys,
where a perpetual magnetic field is generated by the internal structure of the
, material itself
◍ Electromagnets.
Answer: produce a magnetic field by the flow of electric current through a
conductor. To increase and concentrate the magnetic field, the conductor is
typically wound into a coil around a core or ferromagnetic material such as
soft iron. The principles of electromagnetism are the basis of many electrical
device designs.
◍ Electromotive Force (E).
Answer: referred to as EMF, is the potential difference in energy as
measured across a power source (W/O a connected LOAD) such as a
battery, generator, transformer, or other energy source and is represented in
equations as (E) with units of volts (V).
◍ Voltage (V).
Answer: the potential difference across any two points in a circuit including
a load, circuit, or circuit component, and is represented in equations as (V)
also with units of volts (V).
◍ Polarity.
Answer: in an electrical circuit expresses the voltage relationship with
respect to a reference potential.
◍ Current (I).
Answer: the movement of electrons through a circuit and is measured in
amperes (A).
◍ Resistance (R).
Answer: the opposition to the free flow of electrons (electric current)
through a circuit and is measured in ohms.
◍ Ohm's Law.
Answer: the fundamental principle of electricity stating that the current
flowing through a circuit is proportional to the potential difference and is
defined where a differential of one volt produces a current flow of one
ampere across a resistance of one ohm.
