May 2007
DARE Electronics just completed design work on a solid-state watchdog timer for FAA-certified aircraft usage. The solid-state watchdog timer operates on 28Vdc and monitors a 1 Hz square wave input that switches between 28 Vdc and open circuit. The watchdog time delay relay will turn on an aircraft instrument panel light if the watchdog 1 Hz square wave output stops toggling. If you would like more information on DARE's new watchdog time delay relay or need technical assistance on another product, such as a flasher; power monitor; voltage, phase, frequency or current sensor, contact a sales engineer.
