Diagram 2: Overview
Module Overview
The following are basic Securitron Netlink board descriptions.
Refer to the appropriate section for more detailed information.
1 C1 and C2 Inputs (J12 & J16) – These are the connectors for the
current sensors. Only NL4 current sensor should be plugged
into this connector. The sensors have a range of +/-20 A and
are typically used to monitor battery discharge current.
2 Event 1 Input (J14) – This is the connector for the Event1 input. This input
will accept 9-30 VDC to initiate an event alert. This input will only indicate
an active or inactive condition and will not measure the voltage level.
3 ADC1 Input (J15) – This is the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input, which
acts as a voltmeter. It accepts 0-30 V and is used to measure positive or negative
system voltages which are common grounded with the Securitron Netlink
board. The ADC cable wiring must be routed away from high voltages.
4 Input V+ & V- (J1 & J3) – This is the power input for the Securitron Netlink
board.Thisinput accepts 8 to 30 VDC ONLY from any power supply.
NOTE: The voltage input of the Securitron
Netlink must be connected directly to the
main or aux output of the power supply.
5 Ethernet Connection (SK1) – This is the RJ45 jack for the network
connection. The ethernet cable is plugged into this jack.
6 Status LED Indicators (D2, D3, D4) – These LEDs indicate the
status of the Ethernet link to the Securitron Netlink board.
LED Indicator:
› GREEN (LINK) Lights when Securitron Netlink is connected to a network
› RED (DATA) Flashes during data transfer
› BLUE (SYS) Lights when the Securitron Netlink is fully booted
up and running. During the bootup process, this LED may
flash on and off several times. The Securitron Netlink will
not be able to be accessed until this LED lights steady.
7 External Temperature Sensor (J18) – This connector
is for the external temperature sensor.
8 Future use (J9) – This jumper is reserved for future use and should be left OFF.
9 Event1 Input Invert Jumper (J8) – This jumper
inverts the action of the Event 1 Input.
Jumper Position:
› OFF Event 1 active when voltage is applied
› ON Event 1 active when voltage is removed
10 Backup Battery (BT1) – This is the coin cell battery for
maintaining the clock when all power is removed from the
Securitron Netlink. The battery type is CR2032.
11 Factory Reset Button (SW1) – This button resets the User Name,
Password, and IP Address settings back to factory default. Typically
used when IP and/or login information has been lost.
12 Device 1 – Device xx (J4, J5, J11, J17) – Data is passed between the Securitron
Netlink board and it’s connected devices through these Device serial port
links. The NL4 has four serial links to monitor up to four devices (maximum
combination of two AQL). AQL must connect to Device 1 and 2 respectively.
13 Control Outputs (J10) – This connector is for the two control outputs.
These outputs are open collector (transistor) low-current outputs for use
with LifeSafety Power RB Relay Boards or other low-current inputs. The
Control Output cable wiring must be routed away from high voltages.
14 Enable 100Mbps (J19) – If present, this jumper enables
100Mbps speed for the network connection.
15 Future Use (J20 & J22) – If present, these jumpers are
reserved for future use and should be left OFF.
16 Current Sensor – Current Lead 1 (SHORT) – The short orange lead connects
in-line with the current to be measured toward the more negative side of the
current flow. Positive current is measured when current flows from Current Lead
2 (Long Lead) to Current Lead 1 (Short Lead). When using to measure battery
discharge current, this lead goes to the BAT+ terminal on the power supply.
17 Current Sensor – Current Lead 2 (LONG) – The long red lead connects in-line
with the current to be measured toward the more positive side of the current
flow. Positive current is measured when current flows from Current Lead 2
(Long Lead) to Current Lead 1 (Short Lead). When using to measure battery
discharge current, this lead goes toward the positive battery terminal.
18 Current Sensor – Data Connector – This connector connects
to the Securitron Netlink board’s C1 or C2 input (J12 or J16) to
provide the current reading to the Securitron Netlink.

Logging into the Securitron

with the administrator of your Microsoft Exchange Server.
NOTE: Click the Submit button to save the settings, which will
take effect after rebooting the Securitron Netlink.
TIP: Most mobile phone providers have an email address available which
will convert an email into an SMS text message. This email address is
usually in the form of: (the mobile phone number)@xxxxxx. Consult
with your mobile provider for more information. The CSV attachment
will be removed, since SMS text messages are not compatible with
attachments. Because of this, it is recommended that the SMS email
be entered as an ADDITIONAL “Receive Address” on the Securitron
Netlink, so that the CSV file will still be available via regular email.
User Settings
In the User Settings block of the Configure screen, you can
enter the user names, passwords, access levels, and password
complexity for the Securitron Netlink board.
The default user is “admin” and the password for this account is

Setting up the Parameters
for the Email Reports
The Securitron Netlink can send email alerts based on selectable conditions.
If enabled, when the selected conditions are met, the Securitron Netlink
will send an email with an attached report file (in CSV format). To set up
the email alert conditions, click the Reporting link in the top menu.
• The Alert Enable On section, allows you to select which parameters
on the Securitron Netlink will trigger an email alert.
• The Select Occurrences to Report section allows you to select
how many events are included in the CSV report in the email.
Selecting 1000 will include the entire Securitron Netlink buffer.
Selecting 10 will include the ten most recent events only.
The sections below the above settings allow you to select which
parameters are included in the CSV report. By default, all fields are
selected, and it is usually best to leave them all selected. However if
you are, for example, not using the external temperature sensor, you
can deselect this parameter so it is not included in the report.
