Key Features

Bistable “Magnetic Latch” Technology

The cornerstone of the Watch Dog’s design is its use of bistable technology. This sophisticated mechanism ensures the switch maintains its ON/OFF positions without drawing current, thereby enhancing energy efficiency. With the ability to mechanically separate contacts using over 80G of force, this switch exemplifies durability and dependability.

High International Protection Ratings

• IP67: This rating signifies the switch is dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to one meter deep.
• IP69K: This rating further guarantees protection against high-pressure water jets, ensuring the switch performs flawlessly even in the most demanding environments.

Versatility

The Watch Dog is designed to handle up to 300 amps of current continuously, supporting both 12V and 24V systems straight out of the box. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of vehicles and applications.

Programmable Time Delay Settings

One of the standout features is the ability to set custom time delays for automatic battery disconnection. This simplifies shutdown routines and enhances safety by ensuring the battery disconnects at appropriate intervals.

Emergency Toggle Switch

Safety and control are further enhanced by an included manual emergency toggle switch equipped with a system status LED indicator. This feature provides immediate manual control, essential in unexpected situations.

Installation

The Watch Dog system is an electromechanical battery disconnect switch designed for straightforward installation. It includes an emergency external switch that disconnects the battery from the electrical system, but it does not deactivate the alternator or completely shut down the vehicle. This design consideration ensures that while the electrical system is protected, critical functions remain operational.
