SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter Item #29360

SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter Item #29360

Maximum Reading Display

The maximum compaction reading attained during the penetration will automatically display 
as the probe is withdrawn from the soil.  The display will show “-HI-“ followed by the maximum 
compaction reading.  This reading will show for a few seconds before the meter reverts back to its 
normal operation mode.

Over Force

If excessive force is applied to the meter the display will flash “9999” until the force is reduced 
below the meter’s upper limit.

Note

Meter will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of non-use if not turned off by the user to 
conserve battery power.

Taking a Reading

Power on the meter by pressing the 

POWER

 button.  Zero 

the meter if necessary with the 

ZERO

 button.  Slowly press 

the meter into the soil with a firm and steady pressure.  Do 
not stop or reverse force on the meter until the desired 
depth has been reached.    Keeping the meter vertical during 
the entire penetration sequence assures readings are true 
cone pressures and not a result of side loading on the shaft.

Penetration Rate

ASABE Engineering Practice EP542 recommends a 
Penetration Rate of 

1.2 in./second (30mm/sec)

 for best 

accuracy.

GENERAL OPERATION:
Installing the Batteries

Zero Calibration

Changing Display Units

Remove the metal end cap on the meter’s handle with a straight screw driver.  Install two (2) 
new alkaline AA or LR6 size batteries with the plus (+) side of both batteries facing into the tube.  
Replace the metal end cap with the spring contacting the negative (-) of the last battery.  When it 
is time to replace the   batteries a low battery symbol (       ) will show on the unit’s display.

With the meter powered on, hold the meter above the ground with the shaft facing down.  Press 
the ZERO (       ) button and continue holding the meter steady and above the ground until the zero 
function completes and the LCD displays a “0” value.  

The compaction meter should show a zero value when suspended in air prior to taking a probing 
with the meter.  Temperature changes, battery voltage changes, and rough handling can cause 
shifts in the meter’s zero point.  All the above variations are easily and quickly accounted for when 
the zero function is complete.

Note: When the meter tip is placed on the ground the display may show a value of 5-8 PSI (34 kPa) 
but will show 0 PSI/kPa when suspended about the ground.  This is correct and due to the weight 
of the meter’s head applying force to the shaft.  

Pressing both buttons (

POWER & ZERO

) at the same time while the meter is on will change the 

displayed units.  This change will be saved when the meter is turned off.
