9) Turn the #1 switch to off. Turn off the unit by pressing the “OFF” button.
Replace the display panel back onto the unit and lightly tighten the screws.
The GeoGauge is ready for operation.
Note: The gauge exterior is not water proof or dust proof. Attempts were
made to make the gauge as tight as reasonable. Do not expose the gauge to
precipitation. Should the gauge get wet, exposed to high humidity or suspected
of containing moisture or condensation, immediately dry out the gauge by
removing and gently setting aside upside down, without disconnecting the
wires, the display panel and battery caps and batteries. Allow to air dry in a dry
enough room overnight. Carefully re-assemble before using or packing back
in case.
10.0 Clock / Date Adjustment
Purpose
The clock is used to stamp the time and date of each stiffness measurement.
When saved the measurements can be downloaded into a PC onto a
spreadsheet template to analyze the complex data from the first twenty
measurements saved. Saved measurements number 21 to 500 show only the
run #, stiffness value and time/date. Changing the batteries will not delete or
lose the clock settings.
Operation
1) With the GeoGauge “ON” and in normal mode, press the “SHIFT” button
and then the “MEAS” button to get into the user input mode. The Poisson’s
Ratio values will display. Press “SHIFT” and “MEAS” buttons again, the clock
settings should display.
