INTRODUCTION
Troxler, the leader in density gauge technology, now offers the
Model 2701-B PaveTracker Plus (see Figure 1–1), an
electromagnetic sensing device that quickly gives an indication of
the density of asphalt pavement. The advanced technology in the
patented PaveTracker Plus allows rapid and reliable measurements.
The PaveTracker Plus can be used on existing asphalt pavements or
on freshly placed mats. The unit is ideal for performing quick
quality control measurements to check for segregation, areas of low
density, and overall pavement uniformity.
The PaveTracker Plus is a precision device that is designed to
provide many years of trouble-free service. As any precision device,
the PaveTracker Plus requires reasonable care and maintenance to
ensure its accuracy and reliability. The user should:
♦ Keep the unit clean and free of all road debris.
♦ Return the unit to Troxler for yearly re-calibration and
inspection.
♦ Ensure that the unit remains sealed at all times. There are no
field-serviceable components inside the unit. Opening the case
will affect the integrity of the unit and therefore will void the
warranty.

FEATURES
The PaveTracker Plus (see Figure 1–1) incorporates a number of
features that provide unmatched efficiency, usability, and flexibility.
The PaveTracker Plus takes density measurements using
electromagnetic sensing technology, eliminating the need for
government licenses or special training. Measurements are
completed within 2 seconds, saving time and money.
The unit’s memory can store approximately 1000 readings for later
viewing, printing, or downloading.
Both the 30-button keypad and 4 x 20 liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen are backlit, making them easy to see, day or night.
The gauge includes a replaceable protective cover on its bottom
surface. The protective cover provides thermal protection for the
gauge’s internal components and protects the bottom surface of the
gauge against wear.
The carrying case for the Model 2701-B includes a built-in
reference standard, which provides a density measurement standard
for taking reference readings.
The PaveTracker Plus’s advanced software provides three test
modes (continuous, averaging, and segregation) for greater
flexibility and multiple applications. The software also provides
automatic calculations (average density, percent maximum density,
percent air voids, and so on) for greater ease of use.
Gauge measurements can be adjusted using a density offset, slope
adjust, or mix calibration to increase accuracy on specific materials.
Both an ac charger and a dc adapter are included with the
PaveTracker Plus, enabling the unit to be recharged from an ac
outlet or a 12 V dc system.
Model 2701-B 1–5
1. INTRODUCTION
The gauge features two audible indicators, an internally mounted
beeper, as well as a louder, external one mounted on its underside.
The internal beeper emits a short tone in response to a valid
keystroke on the keypad. It sounds a longer tone when the operator
presses an invalid key or if the gauge displays an error message. The
external beeper performs the same functions, and can be enabled or
disabled as desired by the operator.
A serial communications port is mounted on the front of the gauge.
The serial port is used to output data to a serial device, such as a
computer or printer.
The detachable telescoping handle reduces bending for gauge
operations. A second carrying handle is provided for ease of
transporting the gauge.

2. GETTING STARTED
The PaveTracker Plus features a backlit keypad and display. To
toggle the backlights on and off, press the 〈LIGHT〉 key.
NOTE
The keypad and display backlights increase the power
consumption of the unit. To conserve battery life,
Troxler recommends that the backlights be used only
when necessary.
To conserve power, the PaveTracker Plus provides a sleep mode, as
well as an automatic shutdown. If no key is pressed for five
minutes, the gauge enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the display
and keypad backlights, and most of the electronics are turned off,
but all data and gauge settings are protected. To exit sleep mode,
press any key. If no key is pressed for 60 minutes, the gauge shuts
down automatically.
NOTE
If the gauge goes into sleep mode while in the continuous
measurement mode (see page 2–16), the display returns
to the Ready screen. In averaging or segregation mode,
the gauge maintains its current state when it enters sleep
mode.
The gauge software monitors the battery voltage. If the voltage falls
below 6.0 V dc, the gauge displays a low battery symbol () in the
upper right of the Ready screen. Recharge the batteries as
described on page A–3. After charging, the battery voltage should
be between 6.8 and 7.2 V dc. If the voltage falls below 5.5 V dc, the
gauge powers down automatically after completing any memory
store functions already in progress.

TARGET
The Model 2701-B can store up to four Gmb (Marshall) and four
Gmm (Voidless density) target values. A Gmb value is the bulk
density of a material, often determined using the Marshall method.
A Gmm value is the maximum theoretical density for a test material
as obtained in laboratory tests. The gauge uses target values to
determine the percent compaction and/or percent voids (if a Gmm
value is entered) as compared to the measured density of the test
material.
With the Target function, the operator can enter a new target value,
enable a stored target value, or disable a target value. To access the

MODE
The Model 2701-B provides three measurement modes:
♦ In continuous mode, the gauge takes a measurement and
updates the display every second. This mode is used for typical
quality control measurements.
♦ In averaging mode, the operator can take up to 30
measurements at selected locations. The gauge then calculates
the average of the measurements. This mode enables the
operator to determine the average density over a selected area.
The Store function (see page 5–9) records the most recent
results screen when in this mode.
♦ In segregation mode, the operator can take up to 30
measurements at selected locations. The gauge then displays the
high, low, and average density of the readings. This mode
enables the operator to determine the degree of segregation in
the area being measured. The Store function (see page 5–9)
records the most recent results screen when in this mode.
Before taking a measurement, select the appropriate measurement
mode. To select a measurement mode, press the 〈MODE〉 key. The
gauge displays:
-MODE-
1. Continuous
2. Averaging
3. Segregation
Press the numeric key that corresponds to the desired measurement
mode. The gauge enables the selected mode, displays a brief
confirmation message, and returns to the Ready display.

INTRODUCTION
As described on page 4–2, Troxler recommends taking a reference
reading each day that the gauge will be used, and periodically while
taking measurements. The reference reading consists of placing the
gauge on the reference standard contained in the gauge carrying
case and pressing the 〈Ref〉 key. The density read by the gauge is
then compared to the known density of the reference standard. The
result of this comparison is used to automatically adjust gauge
measurements.
For increased accuracy, measurements can be adjusted using density
offset and slope adjust values described in the following sections.
To determine the density offset, take a gauge reading and compare
the measured value to the actual density, as measured by an
alternate method (such as using a nuclear gauge or extraction and
analysis of a road core). A density offset can also be determined
using a gyratory-compacted specimen.
For a given material, the density offset and slope adjust values can
also be determined using the Mix Calibration function described on
page 3–7. The Slope Adjust function enables the operator to enter
the slope value manually.
Model 2701-B 3–3
3. ADJUSTING MEASUREMENTS
OFFSET
To improve the accuracy of the PaveTracker for a specific material
of known density, the unit can be calibrated using a density offset.
A density offset can be determined from in-place measurements or
from 150-mm gyratory-compacted samples.
DETERMINING THE DENSITY OFFSET
To determine the density offset for a given material:
1. Take a reference reading using the PaveTracker Plus as
described on page 4–2.
2. Determine the actual density of the material using a nuclear
gauge reading, road core extraction and analysis, or laboratory
analysis of a gyratory-compacted sample. If using a nuclear
gauge to make an in-place measurement, mark the test site so
that PaveTracker Plus readings can be taken in the same
location.
3. Using the PaveTracker Plus, determine the measured density as
follows:
If offsetting the PaveTracker Plus to a nuclear gauge
reading or a core analysis, measure the in-place density of
the material using the PaveTracker Plus. Be sure to take the
measurements in the same location as the nuclear gauge
reading or as close as possible to the core location (on the
site, if the core has not yet been removed).
If using a gyratory-compacted sample, set the PaveTracker
Plus up as follows:
a. As shown in Figure 3–1, place two samples of the same
height approximately 4.75 inches (12 cm) apart. Place a
mark on the sample as shown in the figure.
b. Place the PaveTracker Plus on the samples. Ensure that
the circular sensor on the bottom of the PaveTracker
Plus is centered on the sample to be measured.
c. Measure and record the density of the sample.

NOTE
For best results, repeat the above procedure to
determine the density offset at each of several in-place
locations or for each of several gyratory-compacted
samples. Then calculate the average density offset.

3. ADJUSTING MEASUREMENTS
MIX CALIBRATION
As noted earlier, the PaveTracker Plus can be calibrated for a
specific mix using the Mix Calibration function. To use this
function, the operator takes gauge measurements at three to ten
locations across the material. The gauge compares these values to
values obtained by core analysis or another method to determine a
slope and density offset for that particular material. The gauge can
store up to four mix calibrations.
NOTE
In order for the gauge to calculate both a slope and an
offset for the test material, measurements must be
performed at a minimum of three locations. Also, the
difference between the minimum and maximum reading
must be at least 3 pcf. For best results, Troxler
recommends taking measurements at seven to ten
locations.
To access the Mix Calibration function, press 〈8〉 on the Setup
menu shown on page 2–7. The gauge displays:

on page 4–5 and record the measured value. As noted earlier, in
order for the gauge to calculate both a slope and an offset,
measurements must be performed at a minimum of three
locations. The difference between the minimum and maximum
reading must be at least 3 pcf. For increased accuracy, Troxler
recommends taking measurements at between seven to ten
locations.
3. Take a density measurement at each location using an alternate
method, such as a nuclear gauge or by core extraction and
analysis.

TAKING A REFERENCE READING
To ensure the accuracy of gauge measurements, Troxler
recommends that a reference reading be taken each time the gauge
is powered on, and periodically while taking measurements. A
reference reading consists of taking a density measurement on a
material of known density. The gauge then compares the reading to
the known value and uses the result of that comparison to adjust
future gauge readings.
NOTE
A reference standard, built into the gauge carrying case,
is provided for this purpose. Always take reference
readings using the reference standard in the carrying
case provided with the specific unit.
Turn the gauge on as described on page 2–4. At the Ready screen,
press the 〈REF〉 key. The gauge displays:
Place Gauge on
Reference Standard
(Carrying Case)
Press <START>
Place the gauge on the reference standard (in the carrying case).
Ensure that the circular sensor on the bottom of the gauge is
centered between the four locating pins inside the case, and that the
sensor rests flat against the surface.
Press the 〈ENTER/START〉 key to begin the reference reading.
Upon completion, the gauge displays:
Reference Reading
Complete
Press <ENTER>
Press the 〈ENTER/START〉 key to continue. The gauge stores the
result of the reading and returns to the Ready screen. The result is
then used to adjust all gauge readings.
Model 2701-B 4–3
4. USING THE GAUGE
NOTE
If the reference reading is out of range and the gauge
displays an error message, check the following:
♦ Ensure that the circular sensor cover is firmly in
place on the gauge sensor (press firmly around the
perimeter of the cover).
♦ Ensure that the cover and reference standard are
totally clean and free of any asphalt residue,
moisture, or debris. Clean with WD-40 or other
suitable means.
♦ Ensure that the sensor cover is seated flat and flush
on the reference standard, within the four locating
pins, with the gauge in the case.
Repeat the reference reading. If the reference reading
still does not pass, contact Troxler technical support (see
page A–9).
To verify that the gauge is still accurate during use,
perform the following check:
♦ Ensure that the gauge is turned on and in
measurement mode.
♦ Turn off (disable) all operator-installed density
offsets, slope adjust values, and mix calibrations. See
Chapter 3 for specifics.
♦ Place the gauge on the reference standard and verify
that it reads within ± 0.5 pcf of the actual density
value stamped on the reference standard. If the
reading is outside these limits, take a reference
reading as described in this section to adjust the
gauge.
Note that each reference standard is unique to that
individual gauge. Use care to not intermix different
gauges and cases.
4–4
PREPARING A TEST SITE
To ensure measurement accuracy, properly prepare the test site
before taking gauge measurements.
Locate a smooth site on the asphalt.
To ensure accurate readings, the gauge sensor must be
completely in contact with the test material. If the gauge rocks,
then find a more suitable test site. If taking a measurement
around a core, the gauge may be moved a few inches away from
the core to level it.
Model 2701-B 4–5
4. USING THE GAUGE
TAKING MEASUREMENTS
The Status feature (see page 2–6) allows the operator to view the
current gauge status. This feature provides a quick overview of the
battery voltage, internal temperature, selected measurement units,
and the date and time of the last reference reading. If necessary,
check the gauge’s current status before taking measurements.
NOTE
To ensure the accuracy of gauge measurements, take a
reference reading each day the gauge is to be used (see
page 4–2) and periodically while taking measurements.
As described on page 2–16, the PaveTracker Plus provides three
measurement modes: continuous, averaging, and segregation.
Before taking a measurement, select the appropriate measurement
mode.
CAUTION
The gauge includes a replaceable protective cover that
protects the bottom surface of the gauge’s sensor
assembly against wear and provides thermal protection
for the gauge’s internal components. To prevent damage
to the gauge, DO NOT operate the gauge without the
protective cover.
CONTINUOUS MODE
In continuous mode, the gauge takes a measurement and updates the
display every second. This mode is used for typical quality control
measurements.
Extend the telescoping handle (see Figure 1–1) to reduce the
bending required while taking measurements.
To take a measurement in continuous mode, select the mode as
described on page 2–16. Place the gauge on the test site and press
〈ENTER/START〉.

to the Ready screen. To exit sleep mode and continue
taking measurements, press the 〈ENTER/START〉 key.
AVERAGING MODE
In averaging mode, the operator can take up to 30 measurements at
selected locations. The gauge then calculates the average of the
measurements. This mode enables the operator to determine the
average density over a larger area.
Extend the telescoping handle (see Figure 1–1) to reduce the
bending required while taking measurements.
To take a measurement in averaging mode, select the mode as
described on page 2–16.

TROUBLESHOOTING
GAUGE WILL NOT COMMUNICATE WITH PRINTER OR
COMPUTER
Check that the correct cable is being used.
Ensure that the printer/computer baud rate is 9,600 bps.
Ensure that all other parameters match:
♦ Data bits = 8
♦ Stop bits = 2
♦ Parity = none
♦ Protocol = DSR/DTR
GAUGE TURNS OFF AFTER IT IS TURNED ON
To conserve power, the gauge provides an automatic shutdown
if no key is pressed for 60 minutes. To turn the gauge on, press
the power switch.
If the rechargeable NiMH battery pack is below 5.5 V dc, the
gauge shuts down. Recharge or replace the batteries (see page
A–3).
SHORT BATTERY LIFE AFTER RECHARGING
NiMH batteries may be charged up to 500 or more full
charge/discharge cycles, and typically have a 4-year life. The
batteries may be reaching the end of their life cycle, and should
be replaced.
Charger/adapter may not be supplying full charge – check the ac
outlet and the dc output (12 V dc) using a voltmeter on the
proper setting.
Check that you are using the correct charger.
The ac charger may be defective. To check, use the dc adapter
to charge the batteries.
Model 2701-B Appendix A–3
A. TROUBLESHOOTING
BATTERIES
The PaveTracker Plus is equipped with one set of rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (pack of five C batteries).
The gauge software monitors the NiMH battery voltage. When the
batteries are fully charged, the battery voltage should be between
6.8 and 7.2 V dc. If the voltage falls below 6.0 V dc, the gauge
displays a low battery symbol () in the upper right of the Ready
screen. Recharge the batteries as described below.
If the voltage falls below 5.5 V dc, the gauge powers down
automatically after completing any memory store functions already
in progress. Troxler recommends that the operator recharge the
NiMH batteries. The NiMH batteries can be fully recharged in only
2.5 hours.
CHARGING
To charge the NiMH batteries, plug the charger into the round jack
on the front of the gauge. Plug the other end of the ac charger into a
standard 100–240 V ac outlet.
The dc adapter may be connected to any 12-14 V dc source (such as
a vehicle's cigarette lighter). To ensure a full charge, charge the
batteries for at least 2.5 hours. After charging, the battery voltage
should be between 6.8 and 7.2 V dc.
After recharging the batteries, unplug the charger from both the wall
outlet and the gauge. Store the charger for later use.
Appendix A–4
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
To replace the NiMH battery pack (PN 110374):
Turn the gauge off.
Using a 1/8-inch Allen wrench, remove the two screws that
secure the battery cover to the base of the unit.
Clean the screws and set them aside.
Carefully lift the old NiMH battery pack from the gauge.
Unplug the battery cable from the battery connection on the top
circuit board. Gently squeeze the connector to disconnect.
Plug the battery cable for the new NiMH battery pack into the
battery connection on the top circuit board.
Slide the battery pack into the gauge.
Replace the battery cover and replace the two screws.
Model 2701-B Appendix A–5
A. TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING THE BASE AND TOP SHELL
To clean the gauge base, use a putty knife to scrape away any built-
up accumulations of soil or asphalt. Be careful not to damage the
gauge base! After removing any large accumulations, wipe the
gauge base with a cloth soaked in WD-40® (see note below). The
WD-40 should remove the remaining debris.
CAUTION
WD-40 can damage the keypad. Do not allow WD-40 to
come in contact with the keypad! The keypad may be
cleaned using a mild soap (such as 409™ or Fantastic™),
followed by clean water.
The 2701-B gauge top shell is manufactured from an engineering
thermoplastic designed specifically to provide high impact strength
and to offer excellent compatibility with many industrial solvents
and petro-chemicals. The top shell may be cleaned with mild (low
alkaline) soap and water. Other approved cleaning substances
include: methyl, isopropyl, or isobutyl alcohols. A cloth dampened
with kerosene or diesel fuel may be used to remove heavy soils.
Avoid prolonged exposure and do not soak.
CAUTION
The use of any unapproved cleaning agents such as
methyl-ethyl-ketones, amines, and methylene chloride
will damage the top shell and void the warranty.
Appendix A–6
REPLACING THE PROTECTIVE COVER
The gauge includes a replaceable protective cover (PN 113073) that
protects the bottom surface of the gauge’s sensor assembly against
wear and provides thermal protection for the gauge’s internal
components. The protective cover snaps into place over the rear
base assembly. When this cover becomes worn, it should be
replaced as described below.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the gauge, DO NOT operate the
gauge without the protective cover.
To remove the old protective cover:
Turn the gauge over so that its bottom surface is exposed. To
prevent damage to the keypad or display, place the gauge on a
soft surface.
Using both hands, place fingers beneath the rim of the old
protective cover on one side. Press down on the flat surface of
the cover with your thumbs while prying and lifting the rim
with your fingers.
Gradually work your way around the cover, prying and lifting
the rim until it is completely unsnapped from the base assembly.
Lift the protective cover from the gauge.
To install the replacement protective cover:
Lay the replacement protective cover on the circular sensor base
assembly.
Push down on the outer rim of the protective cover, working
your way around the cover until it is completely snapped into
place.
