To use the gauge in a trench or within 0.6 m (2 ft.) of a large
vertical surface, first perform a trench offset. The trench offset
adjusts all moisture measurements and density measurements
from backscatter to 4 inches. For direct transmission
measurements over 4 inches deep, the gauge will only adjust the
moisture measurements. In the displays shown below, M refers
to trench moisture offset; D refers to trench density offset values.
NOTE
Before determining a new trench offset, ensure that a
standard count has been performed recently outside
the trench.
To access the Trench Offset menu, press ¢3² at the Offset menu.
The gauge displays:

turned off.
