Power Connection6.3

Fig. 6 . 3.1. Power conne ctors an d fuse.

The NetGuardi an has two screw terminal ba rrier plug p ower connectors, located on th e left sid e of the
back p anel. (See F igure 6.3. 1.)

Before y o u connect a power supply to the NetGuardian, test the voltage of y o u r po wer supply:

· Connect the b lack common lead of a voltmeter to t he ground termina l of the ba t t ery, and connect
the re d l ea d of the v ol t mete r to th e ba tte ry 's –48 V DC termin al . The v ol t mete r shoul d rea d
between -36 and –7 2 VDC. I f t he readin g is outsid e this ran ge, test the p ower suppl y.

· I f yo u r N e tGuardia n h as the -24 VDC power conn e ctio n op t io n , th e n th e vo l tmete r shou ld rea d
between -18 and -36 VDC.

· I f yo u r N e tGuardia n h as the +12 VDC power conne ctio n op ti o n, the n the v o lt o meter shou l d re ad

between +11 a n d +18 VDC.

To connect the NetGuardian to a p o wer supply, follow these steps:

1. Remove th e fuse from the ba ck pan el of the N et G ua rd ia n. Do not reinsert the fuse until al l
connection s to the unit have been made.

2. Remove t he power conne ctor plug from Power Con nector A. Note tha t t he pl ug can b e inserted
into the power conn ector only one way - this en sure s that the barri er plug can o nly be rei nserted
with the correct polari ty.

Note: that the –48V terminal i s on the left and the GND terminal is o n th e right.

3. Use th e gro u nd i n g lu g to conne ct the un i t to ea rt h gro u n d. Th e g ro un d i n g lu g is nex t to th e
symbol. Insert the eyelet o f t he ea rt h ground cable between t he two bolts on the groundin g lug
(Gro und cab le no t includ ed).

4. Insert a battery ground int o the power con nector plug 's right terminal and t ighten th e screw

5. Insert a –48 VDC line to the plug's left term inal and tighten its screw.

6. Push the power connector pl ug fi rmly back i nto the po we r con nector. If the power fe ed is

8. Reinsert th e fuse to po wer th e N e tGuardia n . The fro nt pan e l LEDs will flash RED and GREEN.

To connect the NetGuardian to a p o wer supply using a WA GO conn ector, fol l o w these steps:

14

1. Remove the 2 fuses (A& B) from the ba ck pan el of the N etG u ard ia n. Do not reinsert the fuses until
all c o n n ection s to the unit have been made.

2. Remov e the WA GO powe r con nector. Note tha t t he pl ug can b e inserted in t o the power conn ector
onl y one way — t his ensures tha t t he barrier p lug can only be reinserte d with t he correct polarit y. Note
that the –4 8V termin al is on Slots 1 and 3 and the GND termin al is on Slots 2 and 4 when cou ntin g
from left t o right.

3. Use the gro u n di n g lu g to conn ect the un i t to e a rth gro u n d . Th e gro u nd i n g lu g is nex t to the
symbol.Insert the eyelet o f t he ea rt h ground cable between t he two bolts on the groundin g lug (Gro und
cable not i ncluded).

4. Insert a battery ground into the power connector plu g's slots 2 and 4 by pushi ng down on t op of t he
app ropriate slot of the WAGO conn ector with a screwdri ver and inserting the wi re int o the slo t , t hen
rele asing the screwdrive r. Insert a –48 VDC line to the plug's slots 1 and 3 using the same method a s

LAN Connec tion6.4

For enhanced security, t he NetGua rdian G5 has two 10 / 100 Ethernet po rts. Ea ch p ort has its own
separat e IP address and subn et, so you can safe ly conn ect one port to your private company L AN and
the othe r t o the public I ntern et.

There is no ro uting bet we en Net 1 and Net 2, th is ensures that both con nections are independe nt of
each other. By d efau lt, ou t bound da t a traff ic from the NetGuardian 832A wi ll be sent over Net 2. Only
outbound da t a tha t is specifically directed to Net 1, usually t he Company's LAN, will be sent t o Net 1. To
use bot h net wo rk interfaces, be sure Net1 and Net2 are on sep arate Subnet Masks.

To use o nly one o f t he network inte rf aces, set e ither Net1 or Net2 to IP add ress being u sed and set the
unu sed network IP subnet an d gateway t o 255 . 255.255 . 0. If your NetGuardian ha s the 4-port hub build
opti o n , u se N et 2 , whi ch is connected to the H u b . Both po rt s are stand ard RJ4 5 po rt s that ta k e standard
RJ45 Ethe rn et cable s. I f the IP conne ctio n i s OK, the LN K LED will lig h t SOLID GREEN when t he cabl e
is connected .

The NetGuardi an G5 un it with t he in t egrat ed switch comes with t wo physical 10/1 00 Ethernet ports. The
standa rd G5 uni t wi t hout t he switch comes equipped with two physical E t herne t ports. The switch is
internally t ied t o NET 2 and any one of it s four port s can be used fo r uplink.

Build Opti on: NetGuardian G 5 with G i gE Fiber Top Board

If your NetGuardian G5 was ordere d with t he G igE Fiber top bo ard, 1 000Ba se SFP inte rf ace must be
used. The SFP p orts are in t ernally con nected t o the 4 port switch and NET 2.

6.6.7 Analog Dipswitches

You can acces s t he analog dipswitc hes via the sliding hatch panel on top of the unit

The analogs are con t rolled by the dipswitches accessibl e via the top sli ding panel. For milliamp sensor
ope ratio n (current l oop), t urn the dipswitch on by placing it in th e up (ON) position. F or vo ltage
ope ratio n, place the dipswitch in t he down (OFF) position.

24

WARNING: Do not put the dipswit ches in the upward, O N position (current l oop mode)
unless you are sure of the analog setting. Having the dipswitch on puts a 250 ohm
resistor across the input li nes. Any voltage beyond 5V or 20 mA will damage
components.
