Page 3: Introduction
Introduction General Thank you for purchasing a durometer PCE-1000 from PCE Instruments. The PCE-1000 portable hardness tester is ideal for testing the surface hardness of metallic surfaces quickly. In metallurgy, it’s very important to know the hardness of the materials being used and this device allows for the materials to be tested in the factory. -
Page 4: Safety Notes
Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The device may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel. There is no warranty of damages or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual. -

Page 7: Operation
Manual Operation Preparations before the measurement 6.1.1 Sample Type of hydraulic impactor Classification of samples in weight classes Heavy Medium-weight Light 2 … 5 kg 0,05 … 2 kg >5 kg Please note that the hydraulic impactor is shortly subjected to a relatively high impact force, considering his low mass and his impact energy, when it impinges on the surface. -
Page 8: Coupling
Manual 6.1.2 Coupling The coupling surface between test object and base plate should be flat, levelled and straight. Apply a thin and evenly layer of coupling compound to the contact surface of the test object. Press the test object tightly onto the subsurface by turning it. The direction of impact should be vertical to the coupled surface. -
Page 9: Switch On
Manual Switch on Press the release button on top of the device and it will switch to measuring mode. Menu Press the “M”—button and hold it. Eventually the word “MENU” blinks. This is how you get to the point where the direction of impact can be set (“DIRE”). Keep pressing “M” until you get to the point where you can set the material attributes (“MATE”), hardness scale (“CONV”) and the mean time (“AVER”). -
Page 10: Mean Time
Manual 6.4.4 Mean time After you got to the point “AVER”, press C until the desired mean time (0, 3, 4, 5) is reached. By choosing 0 no mean time is set. 6.4.5 Storage After you got to the point “SAVE”, press C once or twice, depending on if you want switch on or switch off the storage function. -
Page 11: Restore Factory Settings
Manual 6.4.8 Restore factory settings After you got to the point “DSET”, press C to choose between “ESC” to abort and “rdS” to restore the factory settings. By pressing “C” you confirm your selection. 6.4.9 Return to measurement mode Press “M” once again to return to the measurement mode. The durometer will display “000”. Measurement 1. -
Page 12: Show Statistical Values
Manual Show statistical values After measuring with certain mean times, press „M“ several times, if needed. By pressing it once the display will indicate the average value, by pressing it twice it will display the maximum value and by pressing it three times, the minimum value will be shown. Note: In case there is a value during the measurement which is unrealistic, you have to press “C”... -
