Fine adjustment for 900-332 (for900‐332D,pleaserefertoindicatorinstructionsatthebackofthismanual) FineAdjustment:Althoughthehardnesstesterhasbeencalibratedatthefactory,transportationcansometimescausethemachineto

backintotheallowabletolerance.

Please be sure to make very slight adjustments when calibrating the 900-332 as this machine is extremely sensitive to any movement. Remove the top cover off the 900-332. Always test first in Rockwell C scale. Install diamond indentor and set weight selector to 150kg(1471N). Adjusting the set screw that controls the Indicator needle starting point: Carefully hold the #30 set screw in place with a thin blade regular screwdriver. While holding this screw steady, carefully loosen the set screw hex nut.

Take a minimum of 3 tests on your test block to make sure the machine is reading correctly. If readings are low, you will need to back off on the set screw a little. The opposite direction if readings are high. Take 3 more tests on each block to verify your readings are within the allowable tolerance. TroubleshootingChartSymptom Possiblecause(s)
