Safety Precautions 1. The complete instruments may not be immerged into water either be exposed to rain. This could lead to unpredictable damages. The accumulator or display could be destroyed. 2. If the instrument is not used for a longer period of time, it should be stored cool and dry, the best in its original package.

Work piece supporting —— Support is not necessary for heavy test work pieces —— Work pieces with medium weight must be placed on flat and solid plane, and they must be placed stably without any shaking. Enough thickness of work pieces is necessary, and the min. thickness should comply with the specification in table 3.
4.2.3 Testing Press down the release button on the top of the impact device to make a test. At this point, the test sample, impact device and the operator are all required to be stable; and the force direction should comply with the axis of the impact device. Five measurements should be carried out per measuring position of test sample.
400HVHLD expresses that the Vickers hardness value is 400, which changed from Leeb hardness value measured by D type impact device. Note: HL values which measured by various impact devices are various. For example: 700HLD≠700HLC. 5 Special prompts Replacing impact device must be performed under the condition of turn off, otherwise the impact device type cannot be identified automatically, and even it is possible to cause the damage of circuit board of the tester.
The measured values are displayed with big font in this interface, and multiple short- cut key operation functions supplied. 6.3.1 Explanation of the main display interface Battery information: displaying rest capacity when no charging, and displaying charging degree when charging. Impact direction: current impact direction.
key to move the cursor to 【YES Press the . Then press the 【ENTER】key to confirm the deletion of the latest single measured value. Press the key to move the cursor to【NO】. Then press the 【ENTER】key to cancel the deletion. Deletion can be also cancelled by pressing the 【ESC】key wherever the cursor is located.
The parameter setting and additional function of equipment can both realized by menu operating. At the main display interface, pressing 【MENU】 key to enter the main menu. 6.5 Measuring condition setting When being in main display interface, press【MENU】 key to enter the main menu. Press 【ENTER】...

2. Material should be chosen prior to the hardness scale. 3. The symbol ↓ on the left bottom of menu shows the menu is not end, which can be paged down by press 【 】key; The symbol ↑ on the top of menu shows the menu is not end, which can be paged up by pressing 【...
Press 【ENTER】 key to finish the change. Press 【ESC】 key to cancel the change. Note: 1. If the setting exceeds the measuring range, the tester will ask operator to reset. 2. Exchanging will be done automatically if the Min. tolerance limit is more than Max.
6.6.2 Print memory value As for 【Print Memory】, the group range is necessary to be selected firstly, and the group range which saved in memory will be displayed at the same time. Press number key to input the value, and the cursor can move in circles to right automatically.
2. No difference for the sequence to print the starting and ending group, that is to say if 1~5 groups will be printed, the sequence can be set from 1 to 5 or from 5 to 1. 3. Wider the range of groups, shows the nearer the group from current; on the contrary, it will be further.
6.7.4 Deleting selected group Press 【Delete by No.】 key, an interface including group range to be deleted will be shown. Press number key to input digital value. Press 【Enter】 key to cancel selected group. Press 【Esc】 key to cancel the operation. Note: 1.
By pressing 【ENTER】 key, cursor will be shown and furthermore details can be viewed. Press 【 】or 【 】 key to select the group in this interface. Press 【ESC】 key to return to the previous viewing interface. Press 【ENTER】 key to view detail information in this group. Press 【...
If 【Auto Trans.】 is set to 【On】, the current group data can be output in text for- mat via RS232 after measuring finished and average value displayed. If 【Key Sound】 is set to 【On】, buzzer will send out a short sound with each pressing.
Information about the tester and embedded software will be displayed on this inter- face. The software version and embedded software identification are subjected to change due to the upgrading of software without notifying in advance. 6.11 Calibration of the Tester The tester and impact device must be calibrated with a standard Leeb hardness test block (not included in delivery) prior to the first use, or reusing after a long term idle.
In case of too low battery voltage, “Battery Empty!” will be displayed and turn off automatically. 6.14 Battery replacement Battery symbol will flash if battery capacity runs out. At this point, User can re- place the damaged battery according to the following procedures. Turn off the Power of main unit.
9 Transportation and Storage The tester should be stored in room temperature, away from vibration, strong mag- netic field, corrosive medium, dampness and dust. 10 Non-warranty parts 1 Sheath of Main unit 2 Panel 3 Impact body 4 Support ring 5 Sensor cable 6.
