Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Main features and application
TIME TH210 Shore D hardness tester (hereafter called hardness tester) is a kind of advanced integral digital
hardness tester. It includes measuring device and data processing system. It is of the merit of advanced
technology, pocketsize, accurate measuring data, appearance beautiful, light weight, and easy to operate. It
can be connected with computer by RS-232 communication cable. It is mainly used to measure hardness of
hard plastic and rubber such as heat plasticity, hard resin, floor materials, bowling etc. Especially suitable for
finished products in working situation.
1.2 Fundamental
When the steel indenter of certain shape is pushed into the sample surface vertically with testing force, and
when surfaces of pressure foot and the sample touched completely (see figure 1), the indenter extends out for a
certain length “L” from the pressure foot plane. Greater length “L” means lower Shore hardness value and
smaller length “L” means bigger Shore hardness value. The formula is HD=100-L/0.025, HD is Shore D
hardness value in the formula.
The formula indicates that the hardness value is relevant to displacement of
indenter. Displacement of the indenter is measured by the sensor, then the value is given through calculation
and processing of the CPU.

Chapter 5. Functions setting
5.1 Start
Press button ON/OFF，screen displays “0” firstly after seconds, the data displayed changed as “00.0”. At
same time, the program of hardness tester starts to work, see figure 10. Press switch button ON/OFF again, the
machine power off.
Figure 10
5.2 Max value function
Press MAX button, screen displays MAX symbol, see figure 11. The value is the maximum of once test
(Auto locks peak value function). If you want to cancel this function, only need to press MAX again (MAX
symbol vanishes).
Under MAX situation (when do not set Ave. function), it needs to press button MAX to clear zero before
next measurement ( MAX symbol vanishes correspondingly), then press MAX again to start measuring.
Figure 11
5.3 Test times function and average value function setting
Press down button N/AVE (the MAX function do not be set), the “00.0” vanishes and displays AVE symbol at same time as
well as display test times on right bottom corner ( before setting, it displays the test times to be set last time, the test times is
supposed as 7 on illustration), see figure 12. At this moment, the test times setting should be carried on. The setting method
sees below 5.3.1. Supposed setting value is 3 shown on screen, see figure 13. Seconds later of completed
setting, displaying area restore hardness value as “00.0” and test times changed as “0” at same time, see figure
14. It indicates setting successful and can be put into measuring situation. If want to cancel this function, only
need to press button N/AVE again, AVE symbol and test times vanishes at this moment.

BATTERY SR441.55V¡Á3
6.3.2 Measuring by the operating stand:
Before using Shore hardness operating stand for measurement, the hardness tester should be assembled with
the operating stand firstly, the assembled state see figure 18. Assemble 5 kg balancing weight on top of fixing
rod through its middle hole. Place sample 3 on working table 2, then loosen locked wheel. Adjust height
between hardness tester 4 and sample 3 by using of lifting and descending sliding arm 9. Make proper distance
between indenter point and sample surface (forbid to touch). Fasten locked wheel 10. Fix sliding arm 9, then
press down handle 7. At this moment, test sample 3 moves up with working table 2 until the pressure foot 4
touches sample 3 surface with balancing weight 5 lifted up slightly. The value displayed on the screen is
hardness value, read it within 1 second.
6.4 Communication with computer
This tester can communicate with computer which the band rate is 9600. The data is transferred by text file
which can receive by common communication software (such as super technical device of WINDOWS). The
RS-232 communication cable is needed to connect the tester with a computer, see figure 9. It can send signal
to computer when gets the reading value. The operation procedure is as follow when using super terminal
device of WINDOWS:
6.4.1 Connect the nine cores bottom of RS-232 communication cable to series interface of computer. Insert the
other bottom into communication interface of hardness tester (series interface), see figure 9. Switch on the
tester.
6.4.2 Click “start” “program” “ Accessories” “communication” on WINDOWS to
HyperTerminal.
6.4.3 Run HyperTerminal, type in a file name at new established connection, then press “Enter”.
6.4.4 Select the series interface of communication cable, then select band rate 9600, press “Enter”. At this
moment, the measured value should be displayed on computer.
6.4.5 If you want to store the measured result, select “Disconnect” under “dial” menu of HyperTerminal, select
“save as” under “file” menu. Type in a file’s name. That is OK.
