2.2.3 Connecting the Probe
Using the connecting cable connect the required probe to the probe socket on the electronic unit.
Connect the connecting cable making sure that the red dot on the plug and socket are in line (Figure
2.2).

2.3 Using the device
2.3.1 Preparing the object of testing
Prepare the tested surface area of the material, removing moisture, contamination (oil, dust, etc.),
grease, scale, oxide film, and rust from it. Grind it with a grinder or sandpaper and wipe the testing
surface.
The roughness and curve radius of the tested surface, as well as the weight and dimensional
characteristics of the product, should correspond to the parameters specified in the technical
characteristics of the hardness tester (Table 1.3), and consider the type of probe (UCI or dynamic) used
for the measurement.
The results of measurements by the UCI method are affected not only by the properties of the
metal during plastic deformation, but also by the Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity). It entails
the need to adjust the device when working with products that have the Young's modulus different
from the Young's modulus of structural and carbon steels.
To determine the additional error presence, user should compare the results of measurements with
the measurements carried out according to the static measurement principle. If the difference in the
results does not exceed the error of the device, it means that it is possible to carry out measurements
according to the characteristic written in the memory of the device with delivery. If the measurement
error exceeds the allowed accuracy, a two-point or one-point calibration of the device on the product
or sample (see 2.3.7) is necessary.
If the product or hardness value does not respond to the requirements of Table 1.3 (mass and / or
thickness), the device will make measurements with additional error. It will be as bigger, as bigger is
