Select the number of counts and desired depth.
Place the gauge on the material at a desired location and
press start to accumulate the first count. The gauge will prompt
you to take counts until the selected number of counts has
been completed. Record each individual count taken. Even
though these counts are not needed for gauge derived
calculations, it will provide you with a record of this data. It is
recommended that the gauge be moved to a new test
location for each one of the counts. Follow the screen prompts
to complete the counts.
After all counts are accumulated, the gauge will average all
counts and will ask you for the “True” material density. “True”
density is achieved by collecting a representative material
sample from the field and analyzing this material in the
laboratory by using a conventional density test. You may also
consider using other test methods such as sand cone and
balloon methods in the field for determination of “True” density,
if specified by local agencies or specifications.
If you have the “True” material density, you may enter it at this
time. Otherwise, you may enter this value at a later time. The
gauge will save the counts for use at a later time. If you select
‘Yes’, the gauge will prompt you for density input.
