The instrument carries out a self-check and then
switches over to the measure mode automatically if there
is no key operation.
The instrument is now ready for the first measurement.
The instrument will automatically reload last settings. It has a special memory that retains all of its
settings even when the power is off.
The type of connected impact device will be detected automatically if the impact device setting is “AUTO”.
User should check if the type of the impact device is correct. If the type of the impact device is incorrect,
change the setting or check the connection.
Probe specific parameters must be measured again if the impact body has been changed, or hardness
test shows deviations greater than ±6 HLD from the nominal value. Recalibration of the probe is
recommended if: the impact device has been cleaned; the impact device has not been used for a longer
time; or particular high accuracy is required. Refer to 4.3 for details.
To shut off the instrument, keep pressing down
key until shutting down message appears.
Note:The instrument will shut off automatically if the battery capacity level is too low.
3.4 Configuration of the standby settings
To save battery power, the device supports the following power states:
Run state
– The main unit is running at full frequency
Standby state
– After 5 seconds (default setting) the brightness of the LCD display is tuned to a low
level and the CPU is running at reduced frequency. This has no effects on the data or the memories.
Pressing any key or performing a measurement sets the unit back to run state and the brightness is
tuned back.
Power off state
– After 2 minutes (default setting) the instrument changes from standby state to power
off state. The main unit and the display is switched off and consumes almost no energy. Pressing any
key will stop the unit entering power off state while it prompts out “Idle Timeout!” and return back to run
state.
The change from run state to standby state is controlled by display standby delay setting. The time delay
can be configured by the user in the Display Standby Delay dialog box. The main unit can be reset to run
state by any user activity while in standby state.
