Quick Start - DeFelsko PosiTector BHI Mode D'emploi

The PosiTector Barcol Hardness Impressor (BHI) is a hand-
held electronic instrument that measures the indentation hardness
of soft metals (aluminum, copper, brass), harder plastics and
fiberglass. It consists of a PosiTector body (Standard or
Advanced) and an interchangeable probe.
Press the
life, the gage will automatically go to sleep after 5 minutes of
inactivity. While in Sleep Mode, the gage powers up significantly
faster— convenient when moving between parts or locations. The
gage will completely power off after 4 hours of inactivity.
Alternatively, select Power Off from the main menu. All settings
are retained.
1.Power-up the Gage by pressing
the center navigation
Ensure the probe indentor is not in
contact with any surface.
2.To take a measurement:
a) Ensure the probe is
perpendicular to the surface being
tested. Press the probe down onto
the material to be measured until
the indentor foot is in full, flat
contact with the surface. HOLD
STEADY against the surface.
b) The Gage will emit a single BEEP and display a ▼ symbol
indicating a reading is being taken. The test timer will begin
counting down (see Test Time, pg. 7). When the timer reaches
0s, the Gage will BEEP twice and display the measurement
value.
3.Lift the probe from the surface between readings.
Verify accuracy (pg. 3) on test disks at the beginning and the end
of each shift, or if the gage is dropped or suspected of giving
erroneous readings. Be sure to place the leg on the included
leveling plate when testing disks to maintain perpendicularity.
