INTRODUCTION The Soil Compaction Supervisor 2 is a low cost, easy to use instrument that assists with optimizing the compaction of backfill by eliminating over and under compaction. The Soil Compaction Supervisor 2 also provides the ability to record compaction data for analysis and quality control. CAUTION The use of the SCS2 (Soil Compaction Supervisor 2) does not, in any way lessen the importance of following good soil reinstatement practices.
USING THE SOIL COMPACTION SUPERVISOR Power On/Off • To turn the Soil Compaction Supervisor on, press and release the “Power” button. • To turn the SCS2 off, press and hold the “Power” button for about four seconds. Release the button when the READY light turns off. 4. Position the sensor cable so it will not get damaged during compaction. 5. Plug the sensor into the top of the SCS2. 6. Start running the compactor toward the sensor.
Data Management After the first lift is completed the data is saved as Hole #1, Lift #1. The following data is recorded by the SCS2: Compaction Start Date/Time, compaction time in minutes and seconds, job number, lift number, machine type, and completion status. The only data the user defines is new hole or new lift. Using the appropriate New Hole/New Lift setting is important for managing data. The user may need to toggle this setting if it does not describe the correct compaction process.
4. Updating the Date and Time in the SCS2 The amount of memory being used is displayed according to Table 2. g Lights On* The procedure for updating the date and time requires a blank data key and a data key reader.
