4. Getting started
4.1. Setting up the instrument
A functional Equotip 3 instrument consists of the following components:
• Equotip 3 indicating device to process, display and store the measurements
• Equotip 3 stand to attach to the back of the indicating device (or alternatively, use the
optional protective carry pocket with neck strap for enhanced portability)
• Equotip impact device connected to the indicating device via impact device cable
• Equotip hardness test block to conduct the performance check
4.2. Power on / off
To switch on the Equotip 3 indicating device, simply press the on / off button
2 seconds. The instrument will go through a booting sequence, subsequently displaying "Start-
ing up ...", "Loading configuration ..." and the measurement screen. The measurement screen
displays the last readings shown before shutting down.
4.3. Auto idle / standby / shutdown
In accordance with the power manager settings, the instrument automatically switches to idle
or standby mode or shuts down after a certain time without any activity.
Note: In case the device is powered on but the screen does not respond to
i
pressing any keys, a reset can be carried out by pressing the on / off key for
approx. 20 seconds.
4.4. Charging the battery
A fully charged battery is sufficient for at least 8 hours of operation. The operation time can be
extended by reducing the brightness of the backlight or switching it off. If the battery becomes
weak, the battery indicator on the screen starts flashing until the indicating device eventually
switches off. To recharge the battery, use the Equotip 3 AC power adapter. The charging status
of the battery is indicated by the green status LED beside the on / off key:
LED continuously on

- LED mostly on
- LED mostly off
LED continuously off
To fully recharge the battery, the device needs charging for approx. 8 hours.
Danger: Only use the Equotip 3 AC power adapter (12 V, 1.25 A) to charge the
Equotip 3 indicating device.
Only the Equotip 3 Li-Ion battery can be charged internally in the

LED does not go off even though the battery has been charged for days.
