Unpacking
Upon receipt of the gauge from the factory, perform a complete
inspection and inventory. If the shipping case or any other part
of the container is damaged contact the shipper immediately.
Save the box and any packing material for possible shipment of
the gauge to another location or back to the factory.
Inspection
After removal from the transport case from the cardboard box,
check to see if the following have been included (the first four are
shown in Figure 1 on the previous page).
♦ Control Unit – provides the operator interface to the system.
The console contains the keypad, display and the
microprocessor used to process the sample data.
♦ Sample Chamber – contains the radioactive source, the
detectors and the high voltage electronics used for
measuring the asphalt content of the sample.
♦ Sample Pans (4) – used to hold an exact amount of asphalt
for testing. Four pans are supplied with the gauge.
♦ Control Unit/Chamber Interface Cable – connects the
console to the sample chamber.
♦ Documentation (manual of operation and instruction;
source certificate; data sheet; transportation guide).
♦ Power Adapter – connects the gauge to a 115/230 VAC,
50/60 Hz power source.
♦ Power Adapter (DC Charger).
♦ Optional Serial Printer connects to the control unit for
printing sample data.
♦ Water Resistant Transport Case – a DOT-approved shipping
container for the sample chamber and control unit.
