3. Zapnutí: 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. Návod k obsluze

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

5.1 Základní postup měření

1. Připravte Sampten: 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 sample povrch.
3. Aplikujte tlak: 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. Měření odečtu: Observe the digital display. The reading will stabilize, indicating the Shore A hardness value. The device has a resolution of 0.1 Ha.
5. Data záznamu: 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. Pokročilé funkce

• Rozsah měření: The device accurately measures within a range of 0 to 100 Ha.
• Automatické vypnutí: To conserve battery life, the durometer features an automatic power-off function after a period of inactivity.
• Bezdrátové připojení: 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. Údržba

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your durometer.

• Čištění: 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.
• Indenter Care: 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.
• Skladování: 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.
• Výměna baterie: 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.
• Kalibrace: 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.
