Watch Dog Timer
Scout contains a watch dog timer that will monitor internal system. In the event Scout cannot
properly operate for more than two minutes, the system will wait until the condition no longer
exists and reboot itself to its previous operating condition.
When Scout reboots, all data will be lost. Many reboot conditions occur due to poor main power
supplies or fluctuations in main line voltage. As with any other computer device, AFI strongly
recommends the use of back up power supply.
Watch Dog Timer Responses:
If the action is due to poor power or power fluctuations, the Port “B” LED will turn Red
An Email alert “Watch Dog” activated will sent to the address programmed in the Global Settings
when power is returned to Scout. The time will indicate when power was returned
.
The first entry in the event log will show as Watchdog with time and date when normal
conditions were restored
