    Press key to print out the measured values after measurement. Press key to manually feed the paper. FEED 2.4 Leeb Hardness Testing Principle The basic principle is to use an impact body of certain weight impacts against the testing surface under certain test force, then measure the impacting velocity and the rebounding velocity of the impact body respectively when the spherically test tip is located 1mm above the testing surface.

    In strength testing, the following materials are selectable: Mild Steel、High-Carbon Steel、Cr Steel、Cr-V Steel、Cr-Ni Steel、Cr-Mo Steel、Cr-Ni-Mo Steel、Cr-Mn-Si Steel、Super Strength Steel and Stainless Steel. The relationship between the material number displayed on the instrument screen and the material is as follows: Table 5-2 Material No Material Material No...

    5.6 Data logging At most one hundred files (F00-F99, one group as one file) can be stored inside the gauge. By simply pressing the key after a new measurement finishes-the screen showing the “AVE” icon, the measured hardness/strength group values will be saved to memory. The new saved file is appended as the last file of the memory.

    reduce the print quality or even damage the printer. When the printer is powered on and ready for printing, press key then the instrument will start FEED manual paper feeding. Press and keep holding the key to start paper feeding, while releasing the FEED key to stop paper feeding.
  • Page 18: Battery Replacement

    The battery switch should be at ‘ON’ condition before charging. Plug the power adapter into the mains supply power socket and then plug the charger connector into the power jack of the instrument. If the instrument is in power off condition, it will turns on automatically after the charger plug is inserted into the power jack.
  • Page 19: Instrument Maintenance Program

    6.2 Instrument Maintenance Program When using standard Rockwell hardness block to testing, if all the error is bigger than 2 HRC, it may be the invalidation of impacted ball top caused by abrasion. Changing the spherical test tip or impact object should be considered. When the hardness tester appears some other abnormal phenomena, please do not dismantle or adjust any fixedly assembled parts.
