Soil Electrical Density Gauge (Non-Nuclear) - Touch Screen

The Electrical Density Gauge (EDG) is a nuclear-free alternative for determining the moisture and density of compacted soils used in road beds and foundations.The EDG is a portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear safety.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES :

Status Bar :

• Displays GPS status, battery voltage, low battery and date and time.

Storage :

• Built-in 512MB memory, stores up to 40000 project measurement points with details, and up to 200 soil models.
  Data Logging: When enabled, stores all measurements taken in single or average modes. (Status Bar Icon)

Reports :

• Easily download data to be imported into Excel.

GPS Control :

• When activated will display latitude and longitude positions, number of satellites the gauge is connected to as well as the UTC date and time, also available in UTM format. GPS information will store with each measurement when Data Save and GPS feature is enabled. (Status Bar Icon)

Update Software :

• One touch upload of new software using a USB memory stick.

• Ability to download files from the device via USB drive.
• Fast, reliable, accurate Material density and compaction test, and repeatable readings in real time, user friendly, cost effective.
• No additional calibration is required and field testing can be performed directly users only need to input the corresponding data to create the soil model procedure.
• The data can be read accurately in 5 seconds, with higher precision and better stability.
• Non-nuclear means no badges, licenses or storage and transport concerns.
