## Phidget Power Guard.lvlib:PowerGuardEnableFailsafe.vi

Enables the failsafe feature for the channel, with the specified failsafe time.

Enabling the failsafe feature starts a recurring failsafe timer for the channel. Once the failsafe is enabled, the timer must be reset within the specified time or the channel will enter a failsafe state. For Power Guard channels, this will turn off the output. The failsafe timer can be reset by using any of the following API calls:

- `PowerGuardFanMode`
- `PowerGuardOverVoltage`
- `PowerGuardPowerEnabled`
- `PowerGuardResetFailsafe`
