Gauge-Derived Moisture Offset
To allow the gauge to derive the moisture offset, the operator must
take readings with the gauge and then enter the true moisture
derived by an oven dry or similar method. The Model 3450 can
store one partial offset. A partial offset allows the operator to take
readings and enter the true moisture at different times.
NOTE
When using destructive methods such as drilling cores
or sample removal for true moisture measurement, take
gauge readings before removing samples.
Access the Offset menu by pressing the 〈OFFSET〉 key. Access the
Moisture Offset menu by pressing
〈2〉 Moisture. To change the
offset, press
〈3〉 Change Offset.
Press 〈2〉 Gauge Derived.
If the operator saved a partial offset earlier, then the gauge will
display a P beside the option entered before. To take readings for
the offset, press
〈1〉 and refer to Measuring the Moisture below. To
enter the true moisture, press
〈2〉 and refer to Entering True
Moisture on page
6–7.
