The light weight deflectometer is used to determine the soil bearing capacity and compaction or consolidation of soils and non-cohesive sub bases, as well as for soil improvement applications. The test method is suited for coarse-grain and mixed-grain soils having maximum grain size of 63mm.
Testing inbuilt soil layers can be carried out very quickly and without requiring a vehicle, which means it is also suitable for sites that are difficult to access. The machine is used in many areas - in road construction, railway engineering and earthworks, for quality protection in canal construction and utility trenches, and in the examination of roadbeds and foundation fillings.

Test Procedure
Set-up
- level the test area
- lay down the full-size load plate
- put loading mechanism onto it
- connect it with measuring instrument
- switch on, confirm mode 'Measuring'
- follow the instructions in the display
- perform successively 3 precompacting impacts & 3 measuring impacts
- displaying the settlement after each impact
- automatic calculation and displaying all measured data and the Evd value
- save the measurement, print and transfer it
- showing the GPS and curve data after completion of the measurement
Start display
Welcome. The start display shows the charging sta-tus of measuring device + printer and also the GPS + Bluetooth activity. Warnings will additionally inform you about critical values, so that your testing device is al-ways optimally ready for operation.
Measurement
After activating the menu item with ENTER you will be guided through the measurement process.
An acoustic signal indicates the readiness to measure.
The internal plausibility control avoids measurement errors.
After the third impact, the individual settlement amplitudes, the average settlement Sm, the de-formation speed and the calculated Evd-value will be shown.
You can have a look at the measurement series and its GPS + curve data, print out directly (if unit with printer has been purchased), re-ject or upload for later processing.
Settings
Adjust the display and device confi-gurations to your requirements. Re-garding menu navigation just choose one of the various languages and use nationally usual measuring units.
Measured data
Here you can find all stored measu-rements clearly arranged for further processing and documentation
