Page 4: Intended Purpose
1.Intended purpose The dynamic plate load test with the help of the ZFG 3000 Light Weight Deflectometer is a rapid method of determining the dynamic deflection modulus E [MN/m² . This allows conclusions to be made about the load-bearing capacity and compaction of soils. In accordance with German regulations TP BF-Stb Part B8.3, the procedure can be used on mixed-grained and course-grained soils up to a grain size of maximum 63 mm, loose base courses, backfill material and for soil improvement. -

5. Printer The integrated printer is a thermal printer. This requires thermal paper only for printing. To change the thermal paper roll, open the printer compartment by pulling the access depression upwards. Take the empty thermal paper roll out and replace it with a full one. When replacing the thermal paper roll, please ensure that the full thermal paper roll is inserted with the side to be unwound facing to the left and downwards! (Figure 5.1). -
