1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the InstroTek Model 3500
Xplorer. This gauge is designed to withstand the rugged
environment of the construction industry. We asked our
customers which features they rated as the most important in
the gauge. Reliability, reduced service costs, and price were
placed on top of the list. We analyzed all other gauges in the
market and determined that in order to improve reliability and
to reduce service cost, we had to develop and rigorously test
electronic modules to assure that they were more robust than
existing equipment. For this reason we designed our boards
with extremely reliable surface mount components.
Our goal in this development was to offer the customers a
reliable gauge at a fair price, with useful features that are easy
to operate. We stayed away from features that are seldom, if
ever, used and ones that would create operator confusion or
increase repair costs.
Developing and manufacturing gauges is not new to InstroTek.
For the last 35 years, we have developed gauges for the
construction, pulp and paper, and the aluminum industry. Our
technical staff includes some of the most experienced nuclear
moisture density gauge developers and engineers in the world.
We believe you will be impressed with the Xplorer and its
functionality.
Our promise is to provide you with a superior gauge,
unmatched expertise, and exceptional service.
