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, in turn, cause a watchdog, which will
indicate as a beep after the system restarts upon release of the reset keys.
