Voltage/Contact
Switches
The XBN has 4 contact/voltage switch blocks containing 8 switches each,
for a total of 32. The switches are numbered (1-32) with each switch
defining a corresponding field input as either a contact input or voltage
input (frequency inputs are characterized by their source as either contact
or voltage). Set each switch according to the type of signal the addressed
point should receive. The switch set to the left (V) reads voltage; set to
the right (C) reads contacts, as shown in Figure 26.
