Stationary CorrReader uses a MicroSD card to store programmed settings and
data which must be installed for the CorrReader to function. To access the data,
turn the Stationary CorrReader on and connect to the computer with a USB
cable. The SD card will appear as a drive on the computer and files can be copied
off and on to the card.
The SD card contains three types of files, a configuration file, calibration file and
data files.
Configuration file
-
program information
Data files
-
stored survey data
Configuration File
CFG.TXT contains the programmed settings. These can
be changed & saved in the same text file. If the file is
accidentally deleted, the Stationary CorrReader will
create another one with the last good settings the next time it is turned on. The user must
set the same cycle/program the interrupters are set to.

TotalCycle [msec] = 4000,
OffTime [msec] = 1000,

END
TotalCycle [msec] = 4000,
Enter the total cycle time in milliseconds; 1000ms
= 1 sec
OffTime [msec] = 1000,
Enter the OFF time in milliseconds, must be
shorter than total cycle time
StartWith = 0,
Select 0 to start the cycle with OFF, or 1 to start
the cycle with ON
MeasDelayON = 0,
ON measurement delay, set to 0 to calculate
automatically (recommended)
MeasDelayOFF = 0,
OFF measurement delay, set to 0 to calculate
automatically (recommended)
LocalGPSTimeOffset = -4,
Change to the local time zone, CorrReader will
now display and store local time.
NumOfReadings = 1,
Leave the value at 1 for continuous readings.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Stationary CorrReader won
’
t
turn on
Charge battery—plug in and press the power
button
No GPS lock
Ensure the Stationary CorrReader is outside
with a clear view of the sky, move away from
tall buildings
Low or no DC voltage reading
Check all cable connections
Remove half cell cap
Inspect test station, test station may be
damaged
Move to another test station to confirm
AC reading above 15V
Potentially dangerous area, disconnect and
follow company procedures
No computer communication
Turn the Stationary CorrReader ON—a
message will show on the CorrReader screen
Use a maximum USB cable length of 2m
(6’)
Data Files
DATA####.CSV contains the survey data. A new data file is created every time
the CFG.TXT is changed. The file header contains information on the Stationary
CorrReader (serial number, etc) and cycle settings.
USB Port
The USB port is located on the outside of the case, near the terminals. Use a
MiniB USB cable, 2m long maximum. The USB port provides access to the SD
card memory and charges the battery. For computer communication or charging
the Stationary CorrReader must be powered ON.
A dust cover is attached to the case to protect the USB port from dust, dirt, sand,
etc. under normal use. Ensure the cover is properly inserted into the USB port to
prevent damage.
Batteries
CorrReader is powered by an internal lithium ion battery. Battery is charged by
the USB port, 5V 500mA input. The CorrReader must be powered ON to charge.
The CorrReader will stay on and log continuously until the Power button is
pressed to turn it off or the battery is discharged.
If the CorrReader is stored for extended periods, it may not turn on. Plug the
CorrReader in for 24 hours and it will begin to work again. Always fully charge
the battery before putting it in storage to prevent problems.
