MIX CALIBRATION
As noted earlier, the PaveTracker Plus can be calibrated for a
specific mix using the Mix Calibration function. To use this
function, the operator takes gauge measurements at three to ten
locations across the material. The gauge compares these values to
values obtained by core analysis or another method to determine a
slope and intercept for that particular material. The gauge can store
up to four mix calibrations.
NOTE
In order for the gauge to calculate both a slope and an
intercept for the test material, measurements must be
performed at a minimum of three locations. Also, the
difference between the minimum and maximum reading
must be at least 3 pcf. For best results, Troxler
recommends taking measurements at seven to ten
locations.
To access the Mix Calibration function, press 〈7〉 on the Setup
menu shown on page 2–7. The gauge displays:
1. 2.
3. 4.
5. New 6. Disable
7. View
Selections 1 through 4 show the mix calibrations that have been
stored previously. Use the numeric keys to enable an existing mix
calibration, create a new calibration, disable an active calibration, or
view a calibration.
ENABLE A MIX CALIBRATION
To enable a displayed mix calibration, press the corresponding
numeric key. The gauge enables the mix calibration and returns to
the Setup menu.
