The PaveTracker allows the operator to specify the layer
thickness; the value entered is stored with other
measurement data.
Measurements can be adjusted using a density offset or mix
calibration (which includes slope and intercept values) to
increase accuracy on specific materials.
Both an ac charger and a dc adapter are included with the
PaveTracker Plus, enabling the unit to be recharged from an
ac outlet or a 12 V dc system.
The gauge features two audible indicators, an internally
mounted beeper, as well as a louder, external one mounted on
its underside. The internal beeper emits a short tone in
response to a valid keystroke on the keypad. It sounds a
longer tone when the operator presses an invalid key or if the
gauge displays an error message. The external beeper
performs the same functions and can be enabled or disabled
as desired by the operator.
A serial communications port is mounted on the front of the
gauge. The serial port is used to output data to a serial device,
such as a computer or printer.
The gauge can be equipped with an optional global
positioning system (GPS) receiver. The GPS receiver enables
the gauge to store precise GPS coordinates, along with the
standard date and time stamp for each measurement.
The gauge features two handles. The right-angle handle is
used to move and position the gauge while taking
measurements. A second carrying handle is provided for ease
of transporting and positioning the gauge. An optional
telescoping handle (PN 113017) is also available.
