measurement value of all readings taken on the sample. If the expected hardness value
is not obtained (within tolerance), adjust the displayed value up (+) or down (-) to the
known hardness value and press the center navigation button to save the value.
Zero
Zeroing the Gage may be necessary after indentor replacement or when the indentor is
worn. For best accuracy, the Gage should be zeroed on the included glass plate.
Press the (+) button to select the number of readings.
Measure on the glass plate, ensuring that both the indentor foot and leg are resting on
the glass plate. After the last measurement, the Gage will calculate a Zero which
represents the average of all the Zero readings taken.
Cal Reset
Restores the gage back to factory calibration. The factory calibration icon will appear on
the display.
2 Pt Adjust
Adjusts the Gage within a range of two material hardnesses.
Press the (+) button to select the number of readings to be used to obtain an average
for the first point, typically 3 to 10 readings.
Repeatedly measure the known hardness sample using the on-screen green arrows as
a guide. After the final reading, the Gage will calculate and display an average
measurement value of all readings taken on the sample.
Repeat above for second point.
