  • Page 14: Discrete Alarms

    Fig. 4.10 Discrete alarm points can connect as a dry contact or a contact to ground The NetGuardian 216 supports up to 16 discrete alarm inputs. Discrete alarms are typically used to monitor door alarms, power outages, equipment failures, and other on/off conditions.
  • Page 15 each alarm point is internally wired to ground, so either a single wire bringing a contact to ground or a dry closure with the second lead connected to the B side will be sensed as an alarm signal. (See Figure 4.10 for an alarm connection diagram.) To reverse the alarm point polarity so an open contact triggers an alarm point see section 5.8.

  • Page 30: Current Sequencing

    "Yes" under the Enabled column. Each of the NetGuardian 216 analog channels must be individually configured to monitor external analog data. The Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) support a range of -90 to +90 VDC. There are four alarm trip points (thresholds) in ascending or descending order: major under, minor under, minor over, and major over.

  • Page 31: Changing Analog Channel Scaling References

    Note : The descending configuration is useful for monitoring battery voltage. In the descending configuration a 0 volt reading will alarm as a major under (MjU). The jumper inserts a 250 ohm shunt resistor across the input to convert the sensors current output to volts. Use ohms law to find the voltage drop across the 250 ohm shunt resistor (multiply the current by the resistance 250 ohms).

  • Page 35: Real-Time Clock

    The NetGuardian also features a real-time clock. Each time an alarm occurs, a time-date stamp will be included in the SNMP trap. Also, the NetGuardian 216 clock will remember the current date and time settings if you need to reboot. You can configure the clock from the T/NG216 Turn-up and Test Mode, Date/Time screen manually or by clicking on the Sync With Local PC button.
