Copis I or Copis II identification

gene1340 · 3rd September 2008, 14:45

Hi everyone,
Well I just picked up my "new to me" Copis Megaladon from the post office and would like some help identifying it. The numbers stamped inside the canister are as follows:
ISC04-06 R4-411
I will be taking it to a shop on Friday who are going over the whole unit, but I would like to be able to identify it in the meantime.
Thanks in advance,
Gene

I thought if the HUD had 2 LEDs on it was COPIS 2 and if 1 led only it's a COPIS 1, but I may well be wrong!

Not necessarily true. However, if it has two battery boxes with switches on them and the display is the same as an apecs display, I think that's accurate criteria for a COPIS II.

Okay, just to clarify this unit did not come with a hud. It does only have one battery box.

That makes it a copis 1. Slap a shearwater hud on it and it makes a great unit.

Copis I - 1 battery box, no HUD and a standard PO2 display. This just displays 3 sets of PO2 in big numbers, nothing else.Copis II - I thought this only had 1 battery box as it runs both the HUD and display? Anyway it has a HUD and an Apecs handset. The handset will have a menu with different settings and an ISC logo displayed on it.

Only one battery box on my COPIS 2, but there is space for 2nd one as used in the APECs. HUD and PPo2 display run off of the same battery (hence the online Shearwater for PPo2 display redundancy).

No HUD is a COPIS I the COPIS II also has 1 battery box but has an on-off switch. The COPIS I shuts off by pulling the power cable. You must also recalibrate a COPIS I after each power down. Not so with COPIS II.
The COPIS II is essentially the secondary part of an APECS MEG.

Just got my copis 2 back and it has 2 battery boxes...not sure if one has anything to do with the external monitoring by the Shearwater

And that, my friends, makes the C 1 a royal PITA...
