Troxler Model 3440
Troxler NTO v HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Before using the Troxler NTO (New Technology Oven) Asphalt Content Ignition Oven or “oven,” read this manual carefully.Of particular importance is the safety information in Chapter 2. It is also available worldwide through the extensive network of Troxler distributors. Certification following successful completion of Troxler training courses is widely accepted for licensing. Both the Model 3440 and 3430 meet or exceed the following ASTM standards. Troxler Nuclear Soil Moisture Density Gauge, Model 3440 is used to measure the density of asphalt, soil, aggregate or concrete and the moisture of soil or aggregate. The Troxler Model 3430 Nuclear Soil Moisture Density Gauge provides the basic features required for determining the density of asphalt, soil, aggregate or concrete and the moisture of soil or aggregate. And user manual are available in Chinese, Spanish, French. Humboldt's nuclear gauges provide density and moisture measurements for road bed construction to determine the percent of soil compaction.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Units intended for use in countries that are members of the European Community are shipped with a CE approved AC adapter, Troxler bin number 108354. Gauge cover is to be removed by trained service personnel only. No user-serviceable components inside. Note: Components behind cover can have voltage potentials in excess of 50 volts during normal operation of the gauge. Appendix C Radiological Safety should be read carefully and understood before using the gauge. Alkaline Battery Use: See page F2. Safety Glasses: See page 32. The source rod should automatically retract to the SAFE position when the gauge is lifted. See Scraper Ring/Tungsten Sliding Block Maintenance on page F5.
