Model 3430 Plus & 3440 Plus
SETUP
After turning the gauge on for the first time, set up the software
parameters described in the following sections. Several of these
parameters accessed from the gauge’s Setup and Extended
menus. Other parameters are accessed via dedicated function keys.
The gauge stores the software setup, so the operator does not need
to enter a new setup each time the gauge is turned on. The setup
may be changed at any time, however.
The gauge offers a Status function that enables the operator to view
selected information concerning the current gauge status and setup.
To access the Status function, press the
〈STATUS〉 key. The gauge
displays two screens of information, including the measurement
units, count time, measurement mode, battery status, Gmb
(Marshall) value, Proctor value, Gmm (Voidless density) value, and
measurement depth. Use the arrow keys to scroll between the two
screens.
SETUP MENU
The gauge provides three different count times to be used in taking
measurements. The gauge can also display measurement results in
either U.S. units (pcf) or metric (SI) units (kg/m
3
or g/cm
3
). The
Model 3440 Plus gauge offers two depth modes: automatic and
manual. These settings are accessed from the gauge’s Setup menu.
To display this menu, press the
〈SETUP〉 key. For information on
all of the functions available from the Setup menu, see
Chapter 5.
Count Time
The count time defines how long the gauge reads (15 seconds, 1
minute, or 4 minutes). Longer count times produce better
measurement precision. Troxler recommends a count time of
1 minute for most sample measurements.
