1 Safety
1.1 General Instructions
The PAROTESTER impact device and the corresponding
display device are designed and constructed in keep-
ing with the state of the art and signalednized technical
safety regulations .
Please read these operating instructions carefully
before using the device for the first time. They contain
important instructions for use and maintenance of the
PAROTESTER impact device.
1.2 Use
The PAROTESTER impact device is a mechanical
device and serves for fast and almost 100% non-
destructive quality control of paper rolls and plastic rolls
in accordance with customer specifications. The device
should only be used for paper, plastic rolls and films.
Use with harder materials can damage the respective
impact bodies and result in faulty measurement results.
The PAROTESTER2 display device serves for data
acquisition, display and storage. It may only used for
these purposes and must be protected against external
influences.
1.3 Liability
Our «General Terms and Conditions» always apply.
Warranty and liability claims in the event of personal
injury and damage to equipment are excluded if they are
caused by one or more of the following:
- Incorrect functional check, operation and maintenance
of the PAROTESTER2 device
- Unauthorized modifications to the PAROTESTER2
device
- Catastrophes caused by the effects of foreign bodies,
accidents, vandalism and force.
1.4 Recommendations
- Carry out the specified maintenance work regularly.
- Observe the recommendations during cleaning or
maintenance of device components.

2 Important information
2.1 Compatibility of the impact devices
The impact devices type P and PG also mentioned
in these operating instructions refer to the previous
PAROTESTER - model ( 1 ). These impact devices can
also be used with the PAROTESTER2 if the impact
device cable has a BNC connection.
2.2 Compatibility of data upload to a PC
Upload of the saved measurement data via RS232 is
possible with the PAROLINK/PAROLINK 3 software,
version 1.X., for all PAROTESTER models.
The special corresponding cable is supplied with the
PAROLINK 3 software.
Upload of the measurement data to a PC without
the PAROLINK 3 software is also possible with the
Windows «Hyperterminal» software.
The special cable is necessary and can be ordered as
an accessory.
2.3 Compatibility with the barcode reader
A barcode reader can only be connected to the serial
interface RS232 of the PAROTESTER2 display device
from series no. SN. 511.XXXX, Eprom Vers. 5.1
onwards. The barcode reader is supplied with power
from the PAROTESTER2 display device (battery supply).
2.4 Compatibility with printing of the
measurement data
An RS232 cable, 9 / 9p, wired 1:1 is required from series
SN 511.XXXX, Eprom Vers. 5.1 onwards due to the
multi-purpose serial interface and for printing the data
on a printer with RS232.
2.5 Preventing damage
PAROTESTER2 is designed for rolled paper, films and
foils. Test impact on harder materials damages the
impact body which can produce in incorrect results.
2.6 Correct measurement
- PAROTESTER 2 is a precise measuring instrument
and should also be used as a measuring instrument.
- If the measurement is carried out too quickly, the
impact body is additionally accelerated. This can result
in incorrect measurements. PAROTESTER2 recognizes
the faulty measurement procedure.
Important information 3

This measured value is neither saved nor displayed.
Instead of displaying the measured value, the message
«Measure more slowly!» appears on the LCD display.
During the next correctly executed measurement, the
current hardness profile, the newly executed measure-
ment and all previously set parameters appear once
more. Also refer to section 10, «Error messages»
3 Measurements
3.1 Measuring process
The PAROTESTER measuring process is identical to the
EQUOTIP process, which is based on the energy mea-
surement principle; EQUO = energy quotient. During
testing an impact body with a steel calotte is knocked
against the test surface by spring force and then
rebounds. The impact and rebounding velocity are mea-
sured by non-contacting instruments when the calotte of the
impact body is approx. 1.5 mm away from the tested sur-
face. This is achieved by a permanent magnet integrated
into the impact body which moves through a coil during
the test and induces electrical voltages when moving
forwards and backwards which behave proportionately to
the speeds. The measured values from the impact and
rebound speeds are converted in the display device to
the hardness value L.
3.2 The hardness value L
This term which has been used hardness testing since
1975 is the quotient of rebound and impact speed of the
impact body multiplied by the factor 1,000.

This hardness value comprises a 3-digit value which
increases with the hardness of the tested material.
The L-value is additionally marked with the ID letter of
the respective impact device. For example: LU = 671
for the L-value of the impact device type U.

- Medium measurement spread of the L-value over
the entire measuring range: ±6L based on the L-value,

3.4 Impact device functional check
- The functional check of the PAROTESTER impact
devices and display devices is carried out electronically
with each measurement(impact energy and encoder
position).Corresponding messages are output on the
display in the event of deviation from the programmed
set value.
- An extended functional check of the impact devices
and display devices is carried out on a calibrated test
block. This serves for mechanical and electrical checks
of impact devices P, PG and U and display device
PAROTESTER2. These are carried out by measure-
ments on this test block. The PAROTESTER impact
devices and display device are working correctly when
the mean value of 3 to 5 measurements is within the
set value marked on the test block and the range R is
< 20 L . Also refer to the section 12.3 «Test block U».
