	The Power Guard Phidget is designed to protect your hardware by detecting and preventing overvoltage and over-temperature situations. If the voltage or temperature exceeds the thresholds chosen in your program, it will automatically cut power. You can re-enable power via software when you’ve determined that conditions are safe to do so.

			Connect your power supply to the '''VIN''' and '''GND''' terminals, and the power lines for the rest of the system to the '''OUT''' and '''GND''' terminals, like in the picture above.

+You can use your Control Panel to explore your Phidget's channels.
-{{UgPowerGuard}}
+'''''For example:''''' if the failsafe is enabled with a failsafe time of 1000ms, you will have 1000ms to reset the failsafe timer. Every time the failsafe timer is reset, you will have 1000ms from that time to reset the failsafe again.
-{{UgTemperatureSensorIC|SAF1000|, labelled ''Temperature Sensor'', |}}
+If the failsafe timer is not reset before it runs out, the channel will enter a '''failsafe state'''. For PowerGuard channels, this will disable the power output. Once the channel enters the failsafe state, it will reject any further input until the channel is reopened.
-{{UgVoltageInputSupply|SAF1000}}
+To prevent the channel from falsely entering the failsafe state, we recommend resetting the failsafe timer as frequently as is practical for your applicaiton. A good rule of thumb is to not let more than a third of the failsafe time pass before resetting the timer.
-{{ugAddressingInformation}}
+Once the failsafe has been enabled, it cannot be disabled by any means other than closing and reopening the channel.
-{{ugUsingYourOwnProgram|SAF1000}}
+When you use a failsafe in your program, we strongly recommend setting up an '''error event''' handler to catch the '''Failsafe Error Event''', to allow your program to catch the failsafe event.
-{{UGnext|}}
+If you want your program to try to automatically recover from a failsafe state, you can close and re-open the channel from the error event handler after determining a failsafe condition caused the event.
