10) Normally, five (5) measurements will be sufficient. Average the

measurements for a result. Record all measurements and save the records

for long term monitoring of GeoGauge operation. The values from each

verifier measurement will oscillate up and down a small percentage and the

average stiffness should be used to compare with the expected stiffness. It is

not necessary to verify daily. Weekly or once a month or when questions

about the validity of the stiffness/modulus measurements occur, then the use

of the Verifier Mass is justified.

11) An average stiffness of roughly -8.6 to -9.8 MN/m is expected on the

Verifier Mass. If this is not achieved, contact Humboldt for assistance.

The GeoGauge is built to withstand normal field instrument handling. The

gauge can still be damaged from mishandling and abuse. It cannot be

over-emphasized that proper care and maintenance will give the owner long life

and reliability from the instrument.
