Quick Start - DeFelsko PosiTector SHD Manual Del Usuario

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).
This Quick Guide summarizes the basic functions of the gage.

The PosiTector SHD powers-up when the center navigation button
is pressed. To preserve battery life, the Gage powers down after
approximately 5 minutes of no activity. All settings are retained.

2. Power-up the Gage by pressing the center navigation button
Ensure the probe indentor (pg. 2) is not in contact with any surface.
3. Measure
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
indicating a reading is being taken. The test timer will begin counting
down (see Test Time, pg. 5). 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:
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.
