The GK404 is a palm sized readout box which displays the vibrating wire value and the
temperature in degrees centigrade.
5.1.1 Operating the GK-404
Before use, attach the flying leads to the GK-404 by aligning the red circle on the silver
“Lemo” connector of the flying leads with the red line on the top of the GK-404 (Figure

(Other functions can be selected as described in the GK404 Manual.)
The GK-404 will continue to take measurements and display readings until the unit is
turned off, either manually, or if enabled, by the Auto-Off timer. If the no reading
displays or the reading is unstable see Section 7 for troubleshooting suggestions.
