Taking Measurements
Lower the source rod to the desired depth by pulling the
handle trigger back and pushing down on the handle. In
positions of measurement, always ‘lock’ in to the position by
allowing the trigger to engage the notch and then gently
pushing the handle down to ‘seat’ on the notch.
Caution: Never drive the source rod into the soil by hammering
the gauge handle down.
To start measurement, press

begin taking counts.
After the gauge has completed its count time, it will display:
Depth: BS
Time: 15 sec.
