6.2 Instrument Description
6.1 Power on/off
Power on: Long press to start the device;
Power off: Long press to turn the device off;
Auto-off: The device will automatically shut down without
operations within 5mins.
Forced shutdown: Long press for more than 10s to shut

● Long press to store the current data, which can only be
saved once. It is valid only after the set impact times is reached.
● Press to delete the last single measurement value, but
confirm it in the following display interface:
(1) Description of Main Display Interface
(2) Operation of Measurement
(3) Operation of Keys
Time Display: Display the current time.
Battery level: Display the remaining power.
Impact direction: Current impact direction.
Average value: Current avarage value.
Hardness unit: Hardness unit of current test value.
Test value: Current single test value.
Material: Current set material.
Impact times: Displays the impact times that have been
completed. When viewing a single measurement value, the
screen displays the corresponding times of the single
measurement.
Measurement can be carried out under the main interface. After
each measurement is completed, the measured value will be
displayed, and the number of impact will be increased by 1. If
the tolerance limit is exceeded, the instrument will \"beep\" once,
after reaching the set impact times, the instrument will \"beep\"
twice.

want to delete?
Yes No
● Press to change the material, which can be circularly
selected from a variety of alternative materials. If the current
setting is hardness measurement, the hardness unit will be
changed to HL every time user press . So user should set
the material first and then the hardness unit when measuring.
1> Press to move the cursor to [Yes] and then short
press to confirm deletion of the last single measurement
value.
2> Press to move the cursor to [No] and then short
press to cancel the deletion.
● In the main screen, long press to enter the main menu;
● Short press to change the impact direction;
● Short press can change the hardness unit, it can
converse in a variety of hardness units circularly;
3> Regardless of the cursor position, pressing can cancel
the deletion, too.
Note:
The so-called \"transformation\" refers to the corresponding
relationship established for a material according to the Richter
hardness and other hardness on the basis of a large number of
tests. Based on this relationship, the hardness tester
automatically converts the measured Leeb hardness value to
the hardness value of other hardness unit.

[ Remove error ]: It works by 3σ code to delete values that are
not within the range of (μ-3σ, μ+3σ), μ is the average value,
and σ is the standard difference.
For instance: 16 measurements are made, which are x1, x2,
x3..., x16.
In the formula, Xi means the ith value. If |Xi -μ|>3σ, Xi is
considered to be the largest error, and this value will be deleted.

● The instrument has automatic shutdown function to save
battery power; If there is neither measurement nor any key
operation within 5 minutes, the instrument will shut down
automatically.
● When the battery voltage is too low, the instrument will
display , and then automatically shut down.
● Clean the conduit and the impact body of the impact device
with nylon brush after utilizing 1000~2000 times. First screw
the back-up ring off, take the impact body out, screw nylon
brush inside conduit counterclockwise till the end, then pull it
out. Repeat 5 times, then install the impact body and back-up
ring;
● Release the impact body after using;
● All kinds of lubricants are not allowed inside the impact device.

● The instrument should be far away from vibration, strong
magnetic field, corrosive media, moisture, dust, and stored at
room temperature;
● Under the condition that the original packaging is maintained,
the transportation can be carried out on the tertiary highway.
● When the standard Rockwell hardness blocks are used for
test and all errors are greater than 2HRC, the possible reason
is that the head is worn out. So the ball head or impact body
should be replaced.
● Please do not disassemble or adjust any fixed parts if there is
any abnormal phenomenon with the device. Please fill in the
warranty card and send it to our maintenance department for
after service.
● The built-in 3.7V 2000mAh lithium battery is non-removable.
Please charge the device in time when it fails to start or the
battery level is low. Please charge it with adapter of DC 5V
1A whose charging port is Type-C.
● When charging, a scrolling battery symbol is displayed. After
a full charge, the battery symbol is displayed as full
power.
Note: When user don't use the device for a long time, charge it
fully and recharge it every six months to avoid battery damage.
