moisture content make for more accurate Soil Models.
Once the Soil Model has been created, the EDG is ready for testing at a Job Site. A Job Site is an area
of similar soil characteristics in which the user wishes to determine the physical characteristics of
the soil.
A single Soil Model is generally created for each different Job Site. Once a Soil Model has been
created that accurately models the Job Site, the soil characteristics of any Test Spot within the Job
Site can be accurately and quickly determined by the EDG by performing a Field Test.
A Field Test is electrical soil data at a particular Test Spot that is fed into the Soil Model to produce
physical soil characteristics.
IV. Components of the EDG Unit
EDG Console/Computer, Electrical Soil Measurement Sensor, Dart Template, Hammer, Cables/Clips
for Soil Measurement Sensor, Soil Darts, Battery Charger, Temperature Probe, Break-Out Cable.
Components:
EDG Console/Computer:
The EDG unit contains a computer that applies mathematical formulas to determine the physical
characteristics of the soil. The computer also contains memory that remains intact after the EDG has
been powered off; this memory is used to save Soil Models and Job Site data. The EDG console has
an LCD display that is used to provide visual information to the user and a touch screen that allows
the user to enter information into the EDG unit.
Soil Electrical Measurement Sensor:
The soil sensor is connected to the Soil Darts and EDG Computer using cables and clips. Then the
Soil Sensor gathers electrical information about the soil under test and transfers the information to
the EDG computer.
The Soil Sensor requires no maintenance or adjustment, so there is no need to open the enclosure.
Keep it clean and dry when using it. It is an electronic circuit, so treat it with the same respect you
use with your cell phone. If the Sensor Pins become loose, hold the pin with pliers while tightening
