Additional RTUs and Products
- ASCII Processing Module: The APM decodes incoming ASCII data to extract alarm information, activates an equivalent discrete point and forwards a portion of the ASCII message to a pager.
- Alarm Point Conditioner: The APC 36 Alarm Point Conditioner converts 36 alarm points to common-referenced (ground) contact closures. It is ideally suited for interfacing CMOS, TTL and bi-polar points to alarm remotes with common ground inputs.
- Critical Alarm Enunciator: The Critical Alarm Enunciator (CAE) is a local alarm notification device that monitors three battery plant voltage alarms and three discrete alarms.
- Remote Status Panel: If your NetGuardian RTU is in in a remote site or a secure location, you can mount this unit on the wall in a location where it can be monitored.
- NetGuardian 216ah: This new release touts some major feature enhancements, most notably an optional internal 8-port hub and an infrared port for interfacing with laptops and handheld computers running the Palm OS. These are in addition to all of the standard features available in the standard NetGuardian 832A, such as web browser configuration and monitoring.

Selecting the Perfect RTU white paper
Your RTU's are the front lines of your alarm monitoring system. If you purchase the wrong remotes, you won't have complete visibility of all of your remote sites. If you work with a vendor who can't meet your exact needs, you'll never have a solution that functions ideally.
This white paper will show you the important criteria you must consider when purchasing new RTU's. It will help you to identify the true needs of your remote sites, teaching you how to select a remote that will give you the visibility you need to do your job well. You'll even learn the secrets of choosing a vendor capable of custom-designing your perfect-fit RTU.
Remember that we'll NEVER sell your email address to anybody, and that's a promise! We will also send you our informative eMagazine.
