6. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Thanks for purchasing our Baxlo Digital Hardness Tester. This device has

been carefully designed by applying our extensive knowledge in the field of

hardness measurement of different materials, taking advantage of the latest

available technology to offer a satisfactory and reliable use. This device is also

widely used to determine the degree of ripeness of all kinds of fruits and

vegetables. (Grapes, blueberries, tomatoes, strawberries, etc).

This manual describes the operation and the different functions of the

Baxlo HT6000 Digital Hardness Tester.

For the description of the functions of the device in this manual, the four

buttons on the front panel are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right.

6.1. FUNCTION.

The main purpose of this equipment is to determine the Shore hardness

of plastic materials, soft materials, fruits, etc.

The device works with a rechargeable battery via USB.

The device can store up to 5000 measures in the internal memory and

dump these data to the computer through the USB port.

6.2. WORKING PRINCIPLE.

The apparatus applies a force by means of an internal spring and reads

the penetration of an indenter of known dimensions into the material. The

penetration has a range of 0 to 2.5mm.

By accurately reading the penetration of the indenter into the material,

the apparatus gives a measure of the hardness of the sample from 0 to 100

shore units.

The penetration measurement is done by an on-chip magnetic sensor. It

has a backlit display to show the results and access the different configurations.
