Switching Analog Alarms to Current Operation

To test the analog alarm voltage/current jumpers, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the NetGuardian is powered down 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 the above diagram. All alarm inputs can be individually
configured for current or voltage operation. Remember that the default jumper position is OPEN
for measuring voltage. Note: Each jumper inserts a 250-ohm shunt resistor across the input.
This must be taken into account when defining the analog input reference scale.
