Environmental; Electrical; Output Relay Contact Ratings - Geist Watchdog 100 Instruction Manual

Connecting Remote Sensors
Plug-and-play remote sensors may be attached to the unit at any time via the RJ-12 connectors on the face of
the unit. In some cases splitters may be required to add additional sensors. Each sensor has a unique serial
number and is automatically discovered and added to the web page. Up to four sensors may be connected to
the Watchdog 100.
The display order of the sensors on the web page is determined by the serial number of each sensor. Friendly
names for each sensor can be customized on the Sensors Overview page.
Note: Sensors use Cat. 3 wire and RJ12 connectors. Wiring must be straight-through: reverse polarity will
temporarily disable all sensors until corrected.
Note: Sensors use a serial communication protocol and are subject to network signaling constraints dependent
on shielding, environmental noise, and length of wire. Typical installations allow runs of up to 600 feet of sensor
wire.

Output Relay Contact Ratings

The output relay contacts are intended to carry low voltage signals only. Do not exceed the following ratings on the
output relay contacts:
DC: 60V, 30W
AC: 30Vrms, 1A
Warning: Consideration should be given to lockout-tagout and other procedures required for servicing external
devices controlled by the Watchdog 100 output relays. Appropriate safety precautions must always be taken
when operating or maintaining equipment connected to the Watchdog 100. Geist assumes no responsibility
or liability for any injury or damage to any persons or property resulting from improper operation or
maintenance of a device connected to the Watchdog 100.
Caution: The Watchdog 100 unit has not been evaluated for and should not be used in any application in which
the failure of the hardware could lead to death, personal injury or severe physical or property damage or
environmental damage (collectively, "High-Risk Applications"), including but not limited to the operation of
nuclear facilities, mass transit systems, aircraft navigation or aircraft communication systems, air traffic
