Watchdog Relay

During normal system operation, the Watchdog Relay operates as
normally closed (system failure causes open contacts).
NOTE
The Watchdog Alarm relay de-energizes when the system watchdog timer
times out. The watchdog timer will time out and cause the control unit to
reset itself to prevent the control unit from becoming "lost" due to such
things as noise spikes or power surges. You can use this relay to activate a
remote indicator to notify you if the watchdog timer times out.
In addition, the control unit reads the watchdog after reset, and beeps for
a brief time if the reset was caused by a watchdog condition. Pressing the
reset keys simultaneously (hidden keys to the left and right of the Setup
key) for a long enough time will cause a watchdog. This will indicate as a
beep after the system restarts after releasing the reset keys.

Exception Log

The exception log provides a history of the following types of events:
Accessing the exception log
From the Alarm menu, select Exception Log.
The system displays the most recent exception log entry on line four of
the display. It also displays when the event was recorded on line three.
Line three of the display indicates the order in which events are recorded
into the log, with number 1 being the most recent entry into the log. The
system is able to store the 20 most recent entries in this exception log.
Pressing the Down arrow key shows later exception log entries. Pressing
the Up arrow key shows more recent exception log entries. Press Cancel
at any time to exit this menu option.
