Operating Instructions
Power ON/OFF
Turn the meter on by pressing the button. To turn the meter off, press
and hold the button for approx. 2 seconds and release when "OFF"
appears on the display.
Measuring Procedure
The material under test should be a minimum of 6mm (0.25"). The test
area should allow measurements to be taken at least 12mm from any
edge. The test area may be layered with multiple pieces to achieve the
necessary thickness requirements, however the measurements taken
may not be as accurate as those taken on solid test areas, due each
layer not being in complete contact.
1.
When first powered on, the meter should display "0.0". If any other
value appears on the display, perform a zero calibration (see
Zero
Calibration section
for details).
2.
To check accuracy, simply insert the indenter into the hole of the
calibrated test block.
3.
Apply enough force to make enough contact between the top
surface of the test block and the presser foot.
4.
The reading should match the test block.
5.
If inaccurate, perform a single point calibration (see
Single Point
Calibration section
for details).
6.
When ready to use, simply hold the durometer vertically with the
point of the indenter at least 12mm from any edge.
7.
Place the presser foot onto the test piece while keeping the foot
parallel to the surface.
8.
Apply enough force to ensure proper contact between the presser
foot and the test piece.
9.
Keep in place and Hold for approx. 2 seconds.
10. The LCD will display the measured value and will hold this value until
the presser foot is removed from the test piece.
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 for each measurement.
