4. Konfiguracja

Follow these steps to prepare your durometer for first use:

1. Rozpakowywanie: Carefully remove the durometer from its packaging. Inspect the device for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Montaż baterii: Locate the battery compartment (usually on the back or side). Open it and insert the required batteries (e.g., AAA, specific type not provided in product data), ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the compartment. Close the compartment securely.
3. Włączanie: Press the power button (often marked with a power symbol or 'ON/OFF') on the control panel to turn on the device.
4. Initial Display Check: The digital display should illuminate and show a reading, typically "0.0" or a previous measurement. If the display does not light up, check the battery installation or replace the batteries.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

The INSIZE ISH-DSA Digital Shore Durometer is specifically designed for measuring Shore A hardness, suitable for soft materials.

5.1. Podstawowa procedura pomiaru

1. Przygotuj Sampna: Ensure the test material (soft plastic, soft rubber, etc.) is flat, smooth, and has a minimum thickness of 6mm. The sample should be at a stable temperature, ideally between 20-25°C (68-77°F).
2. Position Durometer: Hold the durometer firmly and vertically above the test sample. Ensure the presser foot is parallel to the samppowierzchnia.
3. Zastosuj nacisk: Slowly and steadily apply pressure to the durometer until the entire presser foot is in full contact with the sample. The indenter should penetrate the material. Avoid sudden impacts or lateral movements.
4. Odczyt pomiaru: Observe the digital display. The reading will stabilize, indicating the Shore A hardness value. The device has a resolution of 0.1 Ha.
5. Dane rekordu: Note down the measurement. For accurate results, take multiple readings (at least 5) at different points on the sample, ensuring each measurement point is at least 6mm from any other measurement or edge. Calculate the average for a representative value.

5.2. Zaawansowane funkcje

• Zakres pomiarowy: The device accurately measures within a range of 0 to 100 Ha.
• Automatyczne wyłączanie: To conserve battery life, the durometer features an automatic power-off function after a period of inactivity.
• Połączenie bezprzewodowe: This model supports wireless connection to a printer for convenient data output. Refer to the printer's manual for specific pairing and operation instructions.
• Handhold or Test Stand Use: The device can be used handheld for quick checks or mounted on an optional test stand (not included) for more consistent and repeatable measurements, especially when testing softer materials or requiring precise force application.

6. Konserwacja

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your durometer.

• Czyszczenie: Wipe the durometer body with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the display or casing.
• Pielęgnacja wgłębnika: Keep the indenter tip clean and free from debris, dust, or residue from test samples. Avoid touching the tip with bare hands to prevent oil transfer. Use a soft brush or compressed air if necessary.
• Składowanie: Store the durometer in its protective case in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Avoid areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity.
• Wymiana baterii: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears on the display. If the device will not be used for an extended period (e.g., more than one month), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.
• Kalibrowanie: Regular calibration by a qualified technician or an accredited laboratory is highly recommended to ensure the continued accuracy of the instrument, especially for critical measurement applications or after significant use.
