A  set  of 

operational documents 

contains  data  on  design,  principles  of  operation, 

properties of the device and its components. It also contains instructions on correct and safe 

device operation and evaluation of its technical condition when deciding whether it is necessary 

to send it for repairs.

The device is designed as a compact unit for desktop use. The general view of the device 

is given in Figure 1.

Means of Measurement, Tools and Accessories

The device belongs to indicating (not measuring) equipment. Therefore control of device 

operation  is  carried  out  using  test-objects,  simulating  several  known  methods  of  number 

alteration (cold calking, sealing with fusible metals, dot welding and pressing-in fragments). 

See paragraph 2.2.1.2 for the details of the device operational check-up using the test-object.

Test-object specifications

The test-object (see Figure 2) imitates an examined object. It is a plate (unkilled sheet 

steel) with the thickness of 0,8–0,9 mm bearing “291634” original number applied by mechanic 

pressing (cold stamping). The original number details: manual stamping with the use of “font 

No.6” stamping set and a hammer on a massive anvil. The depth of digit relief is about 0,3–

0,4 mm.

Three digits of the original number were modified: “9” to “0”, “6” to “9” and “4” to “5”. 

Thus, the altered number appears as “201935” (altered digits are underlined).

Digit “9” of the original number was altered manually using 

cold calking

 of one element 

(crosspiece)  of  digit  “9”  with  the  help  of  bench  tools.  Then  digit  “0”  was  stamped  over 

the remaining contour of digit “9”.
