1. Overview
1.1 Advantages

Wide measuring range. Based on the principle of
LEEB hardness testing theory. LEEB hardness
of all metallic materials can be measured.

Large LCD screen, showing all functions and
parameters, with EL backlight.
 Seven impact devices are available for special
applications. The type of impact device can be
automatically identified.
 Testing possible at any angle, even upside
down.

Direct display of hardness scales HRB, HRC,
HV, HB, HS, HL.

Large memory can store 100 information groups
including single measured value, mean value,
impact
direction, impact times, material,
hardness scale etc.

Battery information shows the rest capacity of
battery

User calibration function
 Software for connection to PC via RS-232 port;
Micro printer support

Compact plastic case, suitable as well for use
under poor working conditions.

Continuous working period of about 100 hours
with two Alkaline batteries (AA size)
