Page 18: Type "B" And "C" Scale Description
Type “B” and “C” Scale Description There are two types of scale for measuring mold hardness. Model 42142 is the B-Scale (round penetrator) measuring; Model 42143 is the C-scale (pointed penetrator). Both scales measure the surface hardness of the mold by penetration. The difference between the two depends on the load and on the shape of the penetrator (see Figure 8). -
Page 19: Working Modes Screen Description
In the upper left corner of the display is the letters Md, this repre- sents 'mode'. The starting mode is Point (see Figure 10). You may cycle through modes by pressing the <UP> button when the cursor is under the 'P' (see Figure 10). man-stc-42142-42143-V17-2 Electronic Mold Hardness Tester... - Page 20 LCD should return to Md.

It also shows the ‘n’ (number of readings taken). Like Point, it shows the maximum hardness displacement for the average (see Figure 16). Press the unit down until the penetrator face is just touching the surface of the mold. man-stc-42142-42143-V17-2 Electronic Mold Hardness Tester... -
Page 24: Scan Mode - Advanced Model
Press the unit down until the penetrator face is just touching the surface of the mold. DO NOT FORCE the penetrator face into the mold, as this will make the results inaccurate (see Figure 12).
