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.

6.5. SWITCHING ON THE DEVICE.
To turn on the device, press the left button (1). If it does not turn on,
charge the device by connecting it using the attached cable to any USB socket.
A full charge will last from 4 to 6 hours.
6.6. SWITCHING OFF THE DEVICE.
With the device ON, press the key (1) for 3 seconds. The device will be
switched off and will only respond by pressing again the power button (1).
6.7. STANDBY MODE.
To save battery, the device enters the Sleep or Standby state after 1
minute of no activity (This time can be adjusted in the parameters section). If
the sensor is activated again or if any key is pressed, the instrument returns to
work normally. In the Standby state, the screen is simply turned off, but the rest
of the functions are still active.
6.8. CHARGING THE BATTERY.
When the battery indicator shows that it is discharged or the unit is off
and don’t respond to the pressing of any button, connect the device to any USB
socket by means of the supplied USB cable. The battery indicator will indicate
that it is charging. Disconnect from the USB socket, after 4 –6h.
6.9. MAIN FUNCTION OF THE BUTTONS.
•Button 1: On/Off the device. Resetting the measurement
•Button 2: Transfer the current reading via USB to the computer.
•Button 3: Measurement list / Data management
•Button 4: Settings
6.10. TAKING THE MEASUREMENTS.
Press the sample piece to be measured against the durometer disk
exactly the same as in a conventional analog durometer.
After X seconds (user-definable time) the device will emit a sound and
the “Magic Eye” LED will light up, showing the hardness of the piece. The “Magic
Eye” led will light up in blue, green or red depending on the margins that we
have entered in the configuration parameters.
•Blue = Over limit
•Green = Within limits
•Red = Below limit
The sound also indicates the state of hardness.
•Three beeps = Over limit
•Two beeps = Within limits
•1 beep = Below limit
At this point, the reading and all his associated data (date, time,
temperature, etc.) is stored in the internal memory of the device and
immediately afterwards, the device is ready for the next measurement.
The internal memory can store up to 5000 readings with all its associated
data.
6.11. TAKING MEASUREMENTS ON PLASTIC MATERIALS,
RUBBERS, PLASTERS, ETC.
1. Test probes must have a thickness of, at least 6 mm. and not
being subjected before to any mechanical effort. For thinner test

User Manual

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by minor inconsistencies in these instructions, which may occur as a result of device development and improvement. P a g e 11|26
blocks, you must provide a base of the same material or other of
the same hardness.
2. The surfaces to be tested must be as flat as possible. On rubber
materials they should be dusted with talcum powder prior to the
test.
3. Temperature is an important factor in hardness measurement.
Check that the ambient temperature indicated by the instrument
is within those specified by the measurement standards.
4. The standard stabilization time for elastic materials is 3 sec.
Check the stabilization time in the parameters section. The
stabilisation time is of utmost importance for the measurement
of the hardness of elastic materials.
5. Make at least three impressions at different positions on the test
piece, separated at least 5 mm from each other. To determine
the nominal hardness of the material, take the arithmetic mean
of the three measurements.
6. When testing, the durometer must exert a force of
approximately 1 kg on the surface to be measured. For the Shore
00 scale the force must be 250 g and for the Shore C, D and D0
scales the force shall be 5 kg.
7. The pressure must be exerted perpendicular to the surface. If
the shape and size of the workpiece allow, better results can be
obtained by using a device to hold the apparatus (durometer
stand) which allows the durometer to be pressed
perpendicularly, with an adequate and constant force.
6.12. TAKING MEASUREMENTS ON FRUITS.
1. The surface of the sample must be clean and dry. Choose an
area as smooth as possible.
2. Take at least two measurements on each side of the fruit. If you
obtain different readings, thake the average as a
representation of the hardness of the fruit.
3. When performing the test, the durometer should be pressed
firmly against the fruit sample with regular pressure while
assuring that the durometer´s lower disk is in contact with the
surface of the fruit. Please, make sure that the instrument axis
is as perpendicular as possible to the surface of the sample.
Once in position, exercise a pressure of approx. 1Kg except for
the F0 scale which is approx. 250 gr.
4. Wait without moving the piece until the stabilization time has
passed and the durometer beeps and fixes the reading on the
screen.
5. If the shape and size of the fruit allows it, better results can be
obtained by using a device to hold the apparatus (durometer
stand) which allows the durometer to be pressed
perpendicularly, with an adequate and constant force.

6.15. DATA EXPORT TO EXCEL.
The following steps explain how to export the data contained in the
device's memory to an Excel table.
What do we need?
We will need the following:
•Baxlo Digital Durometer
•USB Cable
•Windows 10 or 11 computer with Excel installed.
•USB communication drivers.
•The Termite Communications Program.
•Excel data template.
Step by step instructions:
1. Installation of communication drivers:
i. Unzip the file "Durometer Drivers Baxlo.Zip" that we
have previously provided.
ii. Run the installer:
Inside the “Baxlo Durometer Drivers” folder there are
2 executable files (Files with the .exe extension).
For computers with Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-
bit, you must run the file
"CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe" and follow the
installation instructions.
iii. Connect the durometer using the supplied USB cable.
iv. Once the installer has been executed, and the
durometer is connected to the computer, we are
going to verify that the driver has been successfully
installed using the Windows Device Manager. To do
this, in the Windows search bar we will enter the
following command: “devmgmt.msc”.
v. The following screen will appear:
We will locate the lines marked in the previous figure that indicate that
the Durometer is connected and has been recognized.
