2. Introduction
Description
The WatchDog System allows for remote monitoring of a Vision dryer. There are two (2) configurations
available: Internet Connection and Direct Connection.
Internet Connection allows the user to view the dryer from any device that has a web browser. Internet
Explorer and Mozilla Firefox were the only two (2) browsers tested, but other browsers should be able to
view it without problem. Some phones are available that view the graphics correctly; other phones will
have to view the text version.
Direct Connection allows one computer to view the dryer status. A hardwire from the dryer is connected
to the WatchDog enclosure residing at the computer. The cable should run no longer than a distance of
1000' and CAT5 is recommended.
