Target Menu
The gauge provides the ability to enter three types of density
targets values: Proctor values for soil materials and Gmb and
Gmm values for asphalt materials. Four values of each type
can be stored. These target values are derived from the
appropriate laboratory tests and represent an optimum or
maximum density for a particular material. If a target is
enabled the percent compaction achieved will be calculated
based on this target and displayed on the measurement
screen. The calculations are shown below:
Soil mode = (DD PR) 100 = %PR
Asphalt mode= (WD Gmb) 100 = %PR
The Target function enables you to enter and store a new target
value, as well as enable or disable a target value stored in
memory.
NOTE
Proctor values entered must be between 80 and 170
pcf (1280-2700 kg/m3). If value is outside these
parameters an error displays the Proctor Target
Exceeds Limits.
