Operations Manual for the 

HardyTest D400

1. Introduction 

!

!

Welcome to SaluTrons HardyTest D400 operations manual. The D400 was developed to do 
fast, comfortable and easy measurements in the field of hardness testing. 

!

!

The following are included in the delivery: 

!

!

Measuring device: The D400 gauge for hardness tests. From chapter 2 
on all functions of the D400 

!

are explained. 

!

!

Hydraulic  impactor:  With  the  hydraulic  impactor  the  actual 
measurements  are  executed.  For  all  necessary  information 
about the hydraulic impactor see chapter 7. 

!

!

Wires:  Included  is  one  USB  cable  for  transferring  the 
measured data from the gauge to the PC and a wire for connecting the gauge with 
the  hydraulic  impactor.  You  connect  the  wire  by  inserting  the  end  with  the  three 
spikes to the hydraulic impactor and the other end to the round input at the top of 
the gauge. Note that there is a red dot at the input as well as at the end of the wire. 
To plug in the wire correctly both dots have to match with each other. 

!

!

TKM Link: This is the software for transferring the measured data from the gauge to 
your Windows PC. You can find all relevant information in chapter

 

8.

!

!

Test  block:  The  test  block  (steel)  is  used  to  control  the  right 
calibration  of  the  gauge.  It  has  an  hardness  of  roundabout  800 
HLD.  If  the  standard  deviation  should  be  higher  then  +/-  6  HLD 
contact our service department. 

!

!

Paste: The included paste serves for connecting a test coupon with 
a weight below 5 kg to a heavier object. See chapter 7.2 for details. 

!

!

Brush: Cleaning brush for the hydraulic impactor. See chapter 6.2.
