A serial port used to connect the gauge to an RS-232 device,
such as a computer or printer.
In addition to the items listed above, the Model 3440 Plus gauge
includes the following features:
♦
A backlit keypad for greater ease of use in low-light conditions.
♦
A remote keypad , including a
〈

top of its source rod housing. The remote keypad reduces the
amount of bending and stooping the operator must do while
operating the gauge.

In addition to its internal beeper, a louder, external beeper is
included on the Model 3440 Plus. The external beeper performs
the same functions as the internal one, and can be enabled or
disabled as desired by the operator.
The Model 3440 Plus can also be equipped with an optional global
positioning system (GPS) receiver . The GPS receiver enables the
gauge to store precise GPS coordinates, along with the standard date
and time stamp, for each measurement. For more information on the
GPS option, refer to Appendix I.
The Model 3430 Plus and 3440 Plus gauges meet or exceed all
applicable American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standards (or corresponding equivalent), including:
♦
ASTM D-2950: Standard Test Method for Density of
Bituminous Concrete in Place by Nuclear Method.
♦
ASTM D-6938: Standard Test Methods for In-Place Density
and Water Content of Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear
Methods (Shallow Depth)
NOTE
As of November 2006, ASTM D-6938 replaces ASTM
D-2922: Standard Test Methods for Density of Soil and
Soil-Aggregate in Place by Nuclear Methods (Shallow
Depth) and ASTM D-3017: Standard Test Method for
Water Content of Soil and Rock in Place by Nuclear
Methods (Shallow Depth).
