EWS Quick-Start
OVWT Device.
Your EWS OVWT Device
Your EWS OVWT (Octo Vibrating Wire Telemetry) is a powerful yet compact multicommunication enabled IoT Device designed specifically for remote geotechnical monitoring applications. Your EWS OVWT Device is compatible with most vibrating wire geotechnical sensor types and has inputs for 8 sensors.
Your Device will be either Iridium Satellite or 4G LTE transmission type and either Rechargeable or Non-rechargeable battery type depending on what you have ordered.
Iridium transmission type can be visually identified by the presence of a sticker indicating Iridium with the Device IMEI number on the side of the Device opposite the push button. Devices that are 4G LTE transmission type have a sticker indicating Cellular with the Device IMEI number on the side.
OVWT Devices that are rechargeable battery type can be visually identified by having a smaller lid profile, these come paired with the clip on solar panel. Devices that are nonrechargeable battery type can be identified having a slightly raised lid profile and no solar panel.

Getting started.
1
Press button once to wake up device
Press button once to wake up the Device
2
Press button twice to activate Bluetooth
Your EWS OVWT Device comes delivered in Transportation Mode to conserve battery life until installation. To wake up your Device, simply press button once.
To activate Bluetooth, press twice your Device LED’s should be blinking Blue and Green indicating it is ready to be paired with EWS Lynx mobile configuration App.
If you wish to place the Device back into Transportation Mode, simply press and hold button for 10 seconds, once button is released, LED’s will blink fast red then stop, indicating Device has successfully re-entered Transportation Mode. The Device will cease all functions until taken out of this mode – this is used for transport or when Devices are in storage and not being used.
EWS Lynx Mobile App.
The EWS Lynx App is the freely available on both IOS and Android App stores. The App is an easy on-site tool for configuring your Device and checking for successful sensor connection. Ensure mobile phone Bluetooth is on and Device Bluetooth is active, open the App and your Device will connect automatically.
LED’s show solid blue when EWS Lynx App is connecting to Bluetooth

Basic Configuration and Sensor Check.
! It is important to note that EWS QVWT Devices generally come pre-configured out of the box for plug and play pairing with sensors as requested on purchase – so minimal programming should be required. Check with EWS or EWS distribution partner first before altering programming.
App will indicate when device is connected
When connected to the EWS Lynx App the icon should show solid blue. You are now ready to configure Device and check sensors.
Device tab is where you can find all general Device information such as hardware version, firmware version, IMEI number, Devices internal battery voltage as well as custom station ID field and site notes. This is also where device reboot and enter shipping mode buttons are found.
Sensor Check and Measurement Interval.
To check sensors are connected and reading correctly:
1
Navigate to Sensors tab.
2
Press Read All Channels button. Device will cycle through all configured channels.
3
Check readings are as expected.
To change channel configuration or measurement interval navigate into each channel and change as required.
! Troubleshooting.
If readings show Error Troubleshoot first by checking sensor wiring, referring to the pinout information at the beginning of this guide. If incorrect wiring is ruled out as the cause of error readings, further configuration and programming checks will need to be carried out to ensure Device has been setup correctly for the sensor being used.
