Preparing a Test Site
To ensure measurement accuracy, properly prepare the test
site before taking gauge measurements.
1. Locate a smooth site on the asphalt.
2. To ensure accurate readings, the gauge sensor must be
completely in contact with the test material. If the gauge
rocks, then find a more suitable test site. If taking a
measurement around a core, the gauge may be moved a
few inches away from the core to level it.
Taking Measurements
The Status feature (see page 2–6) allows the operator to view
the current gauge status. This feature provides a quick
overview of the battery voltage, sensor temperature, selected
measurement units, the date and time of the last reference
reading, and GPS status. If necessary, check the gauge’s status
before taking measurements.
NOTE
To ensure the accuracy of gauge measurements, take a
reference reading each day the gauge is to be used (see
page 4–2) and periodically while taking measurements.
As described on page 2–18, the PaveTracker Plus provides
three measurement modes: continuous, averaging, and
segregation. Before taking a measurement, select the
appropriate measurement mode.
