Installation best practices
Place 2 Corvus instruments (1 Master and 1 Slave) side by side and switch them on.
Connect the Master Corvus to CorvusPC software via the USB cable.
Ensure both Corvus instrument are in the same ‘Group’.
Ensure both are present on screen.
Ensure the Corvus instruments are in ‘Wireless setup’ mode. Wireless setup mode runs whenever Corvus is
NOT logging. The LED on both instruments will flash alternate colours.
The
BLUE colour indicates wireless mode, the colours indicate status.
BLUE / RED = No other Corvus instruments (in the group) can be detected.
BLUE / GREEN = A reliably wireless connection (in the group) can be detected.
Ensure both instruments are flashing
BLUE / GREEN
The Corvus remembers which mode of operation it is in when power is removed.
Unplug the both Corvus instruments from the power supply and take them to Location 1 and apply power to
just one instrument.
The Corvus LED will flash
BLUE / RED as there are no other Corvus instruments connected.
Take the second Corvus to location 2 and apply power, if both Corvus instruments communicate with each
other both instruments instrument LED’s will flash
BLUE / GREEN
If the Corvus instrument LED’s flash
BLUE / RED then a wireless connection has not been made.
If so, an additional Corvus instruments can be placed between the two locations to make a link.
To avoid logging unnecessary data of Corvus instrument being used as links the data logging of sensor can
be switched off. To switch off the logging function of any Corvus; Press and hold the switch for 5 seconds,
the change in function is confirmed by the LED illuminating Violet for 3 second.
To reactivate the logging function press and hold the switch for 5 seconds. The change in function is
confirmed by the LED illuminating Violet for 3 seconds.
