1.0 Introduction
The new Check-Line DD-100 digial durometer is the ideal choice for a
wide range of Shore hardness measuring applications. Seven scales are
available: A, B, C, D, DO, O, OO.
The DD-100 conforms to:
• ASTMD-2240
• DIN53505
• ISO868
• ISO7619
1.1 Unpacking
Unpack the durometer and inspect it for any shipping damage. Notices
of defect must be filed immediately, in writing, at the latest within 10 days
on receipt of the goods.
1.2 Complete Kit
The DD-100 is supplied as a complete
kit including the durometer, instruction
manual and NIST-traceable calibration
certificate all in a foam-fitted metal
carrying case.

2.0 Power
2.1 Battery Installation
The DD-100 digital durometer use two
internal batteries or an AC adapter.
1. Using a narrow screwdriver, gently
pry under the tab on the left side of
the plastic bezel and slide the battery
tray as you turn the gauge face down.
2. Insert two batteries, “+” side up, into tray cavities,
then slide the tray into its bezel slot, taking care
that the batteries stay in proper position.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the batteries be removed from
the gauge if it will not be used, or will be powered by the adapter for an
extended period of time. This is to prevent damage to the gauge from
battery leakage or corrosion.

limited to 30mA. Connecting the AC adapter disconnects the internal
batteries (if installed).
NOTE: Do not attempt to attach the AC adapter when the gauge is already
on, this could result in erroneous readings on an error condition

top of the gauge and depress the screw with a
pen or pencil, then press ON/CLR. This resets
the gauge—no further calibration is necessary.
