Figure 3-3. Standard Count Position
Troxler recommends that the operator keep a daily log of the
moisture and density standard counts (see Appendix E). To verify
gauge stability, compare the daily standard count to a reliable
reference as follows:
♦ During the first four days of operation of a new or recalibrated
gauge, compare the daily standard count to the factory
calibrated values.
♦ After the first four days of operation (or after taking four
standard counts), compare the daily standard count to the
average of the last four counts. Acceptable standard count limits
are:
±1% each day for DS (density standard) and
±2% each day for MS (moisture standard).
After recording the standard counts, return to the Ready mode by
pressing
〈ON/YES〉.
