Xplorer 3500 Upgrade to Xplorer 2

This drop-in upgrade brings modern connectivity and a refreshed user interface to an existing Xplorer 3500 nuclear moisture-density gauge without requiring replacement of the complete instrument. GPS and Bluetooth capabilities help technicians associate readings with field locations and move records without a cumbersome cable-based workflow. A backlit display and keypad make the instrument easier to operate in changing outdoor light, while onboard storage and backup power features support day-to-day field use. It is a practical modernization option for fleets seeking more useful data handling from gauges already in service.

Key Features

• Supports field density and moisture testing workflows associated with ASTM D6938 and AASHTO T 310 when the upgraded gauge is properly calibrated and operated according to the applicable method.
• Adds GPS location information and Bluetooth connectivity to simplify the transfer and organization of field test records.
• Refreshes the operator interface with a backlit LCD and keypad that are easier to read during early morning, evening or shaded-site testing.
• Retains the existing gauge platform while adding useful electronic capabilities, helping extend the value of equipment already in the fleet.
• Provides onboard data storage and a 9V backup-power feature for greater flexibility during field operations.
• Allows service through existing calibration-center networks and provides a micro-USB connection for compatible gauge-tracking accessories.

Lab Manager's Tip

Confirm the gauge serial number, hardware compatibility and required service/calibration steps before scheduling the upgrade. For ASTM D6938 or AASHTO T 310, continue performing the prescribed standard counts, site preparation and measurement documentation; GPS coordinates do not replace method-required records.
