Description

The USB-WatchdogXP resets the PC after a failure in a very simple way - it just disconnects the PC for about 25 seconds from mains. It requires no manipulation inside the PC.

The USBwatchdogXP uses an opening relais. When in default state the mains socket is supplied with current.

The USB-WatchdogXP waits for a sign of life from the PC. If this sign will not be detected for a destinct time, the relais inside the USB-WatchdogXP will be activated. The connected PC will get no longer mains power. After about 25 seconds, the relais falls back and mains is applied.

The size of the USB-WatchdogXP is about 55 x 85 x 80 mm. At the bottom a german plug (Schuko) connects to the wall socket. In foreign countries an adapter with sufficient rating may be used. A german socket (Schuko) is located in the top of the switch. It will accept also Euro-plugs. Special versions with UK, IEC, italian, swiss or french mains connects are available on request.

Next to the socket a LED is located to indicate the switch state. The LED is green if the PC is running and red if the a malfunction has been detected and the switch is active. When the USB-Watchdog waits longer than 10 seconds for service the LED turns to yellow to indicate a kind of prealarm.

The USB-WatchdogXP turns devices operated at 230 V off and on. The maximum current is 16 A, maximum 3.500 W rated load AC1 (non inductive).

The USB-WatchdogXP should be operated in inner rooms only and should be protected against humidity. The permissible operating temperature range is 10° - 60° Celsius.

The USB-WatchdogXP receives the signs of life from the software ClewareControl. The software is running with Windows® Operating Systems since Windows® 2K (® Microsoft Windows is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation). ClewareControl may be configured to run as a service. Alternatively an user program which uses the API may send the signals.

No special device drivers are neccessary to use the Cleware USB devices. The already installed device drivers are sufficient.

Linux support is also available. An application program interface (API) is supplied. Some more support is planned.

The usage of the USB-Watchdog is strictly prohibited, when the failure of the switch will harm people.
