PREPARE
| • |
Preparing the plain ground |
| |
|
| • |
Place the load plate on plain ground such that full-area support is ensured. |
| |
|
| • |
Position the loading mechanism on the load plate. |
| |
|
| • |
Interconnect the settlement, measuring instrument and the load plate by the measuring cable. Disengage shipping & handling lock. |
|
|
MEASURE
| • |
Switch on the settlement measuring instrument. |
| |
|
| • |
Arrange device in vertical position. |
| |
|
| • |
Perform three impacts in succession. |
| |
|
| • |
The settlement amplitudes S1, S2 and S3 are displayed on the screen. |
| |
|
| • |
After the third measurement the mean settlement Sm and the computed Evd value are displayed. |
| |
|
| • |
In addition, the device determines the path-to-speed ratio and settlement curve. |
|
|
|
EVALUATE
| • |
via Thermal printer |
| |
|
| • |
Printing of measured data from memory for documentation purposes at anytime and anyplace. |
| |
|
| |
The series of measured data comprises: |
| |
| • Date |
 |
| • Time |
| • Settlements |
| • Settling speed v |
| • Path-to-speed ratios/v |
| • Dynamic modulus of deformation Evd |
| • Settlement curve |
| |
| |
|
| • |
Up to 200 series may be stored. |
| |
|
| |
via Personal computer |
| |
| |
Apart from printing series of measured data by using a thermal printer, they may be also transferred to a PC |
| |
|
| • |
Establish the connection between the PC and the settlement measuring instrument. Read in the series of measured values. |
| |
|
| • |
Comfortable processing of the protocol by means of a special software program. |
