  • Page 8: Charging

    Charging Battery symbol will flash if battery capacity is close to empty. The tester will automatically switch on during charging. will flash alternately while in charge mode. will flash once fully charged. Battery Replacement The R9030 is equipped with a lithium rechargeable battery. Battery life expectancy with regular use is 3 years. Should you require a new battery please contact REED Instruments 1-877-849-2127 or info@REEDinstruments.com. Auto Shut Off • Auto switch off function is supplied to save the energy of battery. • If neither measurement nor any key operation is performed within 5 minute, the tester will switch off automatically, a flash showing for 10 seconds on the OLED screen prior to switch off. At this time, any key except the key can be pressed to stop the flash of OLED screen, and cancel the switch off operation. • In case of too low battery voltage, “Battery Empty!” will be displayed and switch off automatically. reedinstruments GlobalTestSupply www.
  • Page 9: Maintenance

    Maintenance • After using the impact device 1000 times, it is recommended to use the nylon brush provided to clean the guide tube and the impact body of the impact device. To clean the guide tube, unscrew the support ring and then take out the impact body. Use the nylon brush to clean in a counter-clock direction. Repeat this 5 times and remount the impact body and the support ring. • Remember to release the impact body after use • It is strongly recommended to not use any lubricant agent to clean the impact device • The tester should be stored at room temperature, away from vibration, strong magnetic field, corrosive medium, dampness and dust.

    2.0 Preparation of test surface Please note that measurement values may be affected if the material under test is exposed to extreme temperatures. If the tested material is too rough, a measuring error will appear. The surface of the sample must have metallic luster and the surface must be flat and smooth. No oil or dirt should be present. Curved surface: It is better that the testing surface of workpiece is flat. When the curvature radius (R) of the curved surface to be tested is less than 30mm (for D and DL type impact device), a small support ring (included with the R9030) should be used. Self-magnetism of the workpiece should be less than 30 Gauss. reedinstruments GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...

    3.0 Adjusting R9030 Settings Set your hardness scale, material and impact direction on the R9030. 4.0 Instrument Calibration The tester and impact device must be calibrated with a standard Leeb hardness test block prior to first use, or after not using the instrument for an extended period of time. Press the key as well as the key at the same time to enter instrument calibration mode. The interface impact times is set to 5 by default. The impact selected direction should be vertically down on the Leeb hardness test block. Average value will be showed after measuring. Press the or the key to input nominal value. Press the key to finish calibration and back to the main unit.
  • Page 15: Taking Measurements

    7.0 Taking Measurements Press down on the release button on the top of the impact device to take a measurement. At this point, the test sample, impact device and the operator are all required to be stable; and the force direction should comply with the axis set on the instrument. Five measurements should be carried out per measuring position of test sample. The divergence of data should be not exceeds ±15HL of mean value. Distance between any two indentations, or the distance between any indentation center and the edge of test sample should be in accordance with the following specifications: The distance between The distance of two indentation center and indentations center Type of impact device edge of test piece No less than No less than D, DC, DL, D+15 3 mm 5 mm...
