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

The USBwatchdogXP uses an opening relais. With intervention the mains socket is supplied with current. If the current should be ineterupted this is done by turning the relais on..

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 device is now dropped out.

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.

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 on and off. The maximum current is 16 A, maximum 3.500 W rated load AC1 (non inductive). The single phase motor rating is 550 W. Please contact the dealer of the device to be switched for more information.

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 serive. Alternativelu 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.

Every USB-WatchdogXP own its unique serial number. This make it easy to identify the devices even when the USB plug position changes or new USB devices are connected. The serial number is accessible through the API and could therefore be used as a simple dongle.

The product USB-WatchdogXP comes with a 2-year software update service via Internet free of charge. New versions are made available in the Cleware download area and may be downloaded for free.
