Configuring isolated input filters
Each input channel on the Switch & Sense 8 has a filter that you can enable and disable from this dialog. The
filter is required for alternating current (AC) inputs, and recommended for almost all DC inputs. Unless you
have a good reason to turn off a filter for a channel, we recommend that you enable it.
1. Click on the Switch & Sense 8 node whose input channel filters you want to configure.
2. Click on the toolbar icon.
