Analog Alarms

The NetGuardian's analog alarm inputs measure continuous ranges of voltage or current. Analog alarms
are typically used to monitor battery voltage, charging current, temperature, humidity, wind speed, or
other continuously changing conditions. The measurement range of the analog channels is -90 to +90
VDC or 4 to 20 mA. To configure the analogs for current sensing (4 - 20mA) please review the next
section for jumper position.
You can use analogs 1 through 4 to monitor whatever you like. Analogs 5 and 6 are pre-configured to
monitor Battery A and B. Read the following table to see where to connect the analogs.

By default, the analog inputs are configured to measure voltage. You can switch the analog inputs to
measure current by resetting jumpers on the NetGuardian circuit board.

Switching Analog Alarms to Current Operation

Fig. 5.11 Adjustable jumpers on the NetGuardian circuit board
By default, the analog inputs are configured to measure voltage. You can switch the analog inputs
to measure current by resetting jumpers on the NetGuardian's circuit board.
To test the analog alarm voltage/current jumpers, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the NetGuardian is depowered and disconnected from all network connections.
2. Remove the screws from the sides of the NetGuardian case.
3. Slide the top cover of the case off to expose the circuit board.
4. The adjustable jumpers are shown in. All alarm inputs can be individually configured for current
or voltage operation. Remember that the default jumper position is OPEN for measuring voltage.
