Hi Michael,

W-DOG = Watchdog
Watchdogs are used on all well designed processor systems and it is used to monitor the processor. If the processor stops the watchdog will tell you.

On some systems such as computers and digital gadgets the watchdog is designed to automatically reboot the system when it detects the processor has stopped.

michael1702,

what is your firmware revision?

press and hold PROG for 5 seconds, front panel will display:-

C0101
M0007
C0206
06112

for latest firmware

watchdogs are generally supressed on latest firmware, so I suspect you have earlier version.

If so please contact your dealer to update it.

If you can tell me the sequence of events leading up to the WDOG message, then I will be able to help you a bit more.
