The DIGI-SCHMIDT 2000 concrete test hammer comprises the actual concrete test hammer and the display unit. Both components belong together and are calibrated as one unit. The impact bolt of the concrete test hammer strikes the surface of the concrete with a defined force. After the impact, a metal body, the so-called hammer (see pos. 14 in Fig. 6.2, page 16), rebounds. The rebound distance is measured by a sensor and passed on to the display unit as an electrical signal. The sign

Check the settings before performing a measurement! This applies in particular for the impact direction and for the shape and time coefficient. 4.1 Impact Direction • Select the symbol for the desired impact direction. The rebound value is automatically corrected according to the preselected im

4.4.2 Select Curve The compressive strength of the concrete fck can be calculated from the rebound value R by means of conversion curves. There are 3 options available for calculating the compressive strength of the concrete: - No conversion - Select 5 internal conversion curves, or - Choose between 2 programmed PROCEQ standard curves (fck 7 days and fck 14 to 56 days). No Conversion Select ”No Conversion”. At the end of a measurement series, only the average of the rebound v

Mx: Delete the Lowest and Highest Values Only possible from EPROM version 2.0. The amount ”m” of both the lowest and highest values are deleted. • Under ”m”, enter the number of measured values to be eliminated. See also the number of test impacts ”n” set, under ”Mean Value”. Example: If ”m” = 3, then at least 12 should be set for ”n”. 4.6 Display Range The display range for the rebound value R on the display can be adapted to the testing range. • Enter Rmin and Rmax. 4.7

5 Measuring Process 5.1 Measuring Procedure Preferably perform measurements at temperatures between 10 °C and 50 °C only. The items in (brackets) are illustrated in Fig. 5.4. Perform test impacts with the concrete test hammer on a smooth, hard surface, without the cable connected to the display unit, before taking any measurements you are going to evaluate. • Enter the basic settings as described under ”Settings”. • Use a grindstone to smoothen the test surface. Fig. 5.

• Obvious outliers can only be eliminated directly after the particular test impact with the PRINT/STORE key. End Measurement Series: • After the last impact of a measurement series has been carried out, a low beep sounds. If n = 0 was set under ”Calculation of Mean Value”, you must end the measurement series with the END key. New Measurement Series: The measured values set remain unaltered: • Continue from Fig. 5.1 on page 10 with ”Preparing the test surface with a grindsto
