Page 3: Introduction
The mean value is automatically generated as soon as more than one measurement is performed with the ultrasonic durometer PCE-5000. Its design allows reaching even locations that would be otherwise hard to reach, and it allows reviewing and reading the values comfortably at its graphic display. Due to an option to calibrate, the ultrasonic durometer can be always calibrated by the user at any time. - Page 4 Manual Charger: Only use the original manufacturer’s battery Do not disassemble the battery When inserting the battery, make sure that it is properly seated and the poles were not mistaken Do never throw the battery into fire and never bring it in intense heat Do not throw the battery into water and also do not touch the water If the battery should be deformed, do not use it Turn off the power before removing or changing the battery...

The hardness-measuring of heavy work pieces, built-in machinery and permanently assembled parts is therefore relatively difficult. The ultrasonic hardness tester PCE-5000 uses the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance procedure to carry out comparative hardness measurements for test pieces, with the advantages of a highly accurate, efficient, portable and non-destructive measurement with simple operation. -

Manual Measurement probe 8-pin socket Vickers diamond Note: The standard probe is preset to 20 N. Other probes are available as optional accessory. - Page 11 Manual Ultrasonic indenter and recesses During measurements the inspection stamp entrudes minimally within the material. The indentation depth (H) and the mean value of the dialog lengths (d) of the various probes of the ultrasonic hardness tester can be reduced with increasing value. Material hardness (HV) Depth (µm) Material hardness (HV)

Condition of the surface The applied test force (i.e. the selected UCI probe) must not only match the application but also the surface quality and roughness of the material.

Page 13: Battery
Manual Battery The main unit includes a rechargeable battery (charger, 4.2 V, 4800 mAh). You can find the battery lid on the back of the device. When the battery is flat the symbol “ “appears in the upper right corner from the main menu, to remind you to charge the battery in time. -
Page 14: Operation
Manual Operation Initial operation Connect the angle plug of the 8-pin data cable to the 8-pin connector of the probe together. If you hear a clicking noise, the device is in the correct position. Now connect the other end of the 8-pin data cable to the 8-pin connector of the ultrasonic hardness tester. - Page 15 Manual 4. Hold the probe for about 2 seconds in this position until the measurement is complete. The device then sends a signal, which states that the measurement is complete and the measured values can be read from the display. The first reading is not included in the determination of the average value.

Page 18: Print Setup
Manual Print setup Here you can print out all measured data or certain data slot. This works just as deletion or part-deletion works. Calibration Reasons to calibrate If the readings are stable in the process of reviewing the durometer with the reference block, but the nominal value of the reference hardness block is different. -
Page 19: Calibration With One Calibration Standard
Manual 9.3.2 Calibration with one calibration standard The calibration with only one calibration standard is similar to the calibration with two standards. The difference is that you do not calibrate the “TEST-H” part. Press the “MENU” key after “TEST-L” calibration and enter the nominal value. -
Page 20: 10 Disposal
Manual 10 Disposal For the disposal of batteries, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose. In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back.
