DeFelsko PosiTector SHD Notice D'instruction page 3

The PosiTector Shore Hardness Durometer (SHD) is a hand-
held electronic instrument that measures the indentation hardness
of non-metallic materials. It consists of a PosiTector body
(Standard or Advanced) and an interchangeable probe (SHD A or
SHD D).
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. Remove the protective rubber cap from the probe.
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button
Ensure the probe indentor (pg. 3) is not in contact with any
surface.
3. To take a measurement:
a) Press the probe down onto the material to be measured
until the presser 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. 6). When the timer
reaches 0s, the Gage will BEEP twice and display the
measurement value.
4. Lift the probe from the surface between readings.
Verify accuracy (pg. 3) on test blocks at the beginning and the
end of each shift, or if the gage is dropped or suspected of giving
erroneous readings.
IMPORTANT:
such as steel or glass. Doing so may damage the indentor and
cause the probe to read out of tolerance. Replace the rubber cap
to protect the indentor and presser foot when not in use.
Damage to the indentor caused by measuring on hard materials
is not covered by DeFelsko's warranty.
