1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The Impact Test has been designed to be as safe as possible. However as with all equipment the user needs to follow the required safety instructions. Always ensure yourself that local health and safety regulations do not include any extra specifications. To ensure safe operation please follow the following guidelines: + Never put your hands under the tube when the weights raised. + Always have a stamp in place when testing. + Make sure the Impact Test is positioned fully level. 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Impact Test is used to determine the impact resistivity and flexibility of coatings. The dual scale instrument is equipped with a special guidance which assures that the distance between each impact is always according to the standard. For correct positioning a spiit-level is built-in, Each Impact test comes as a complete set, {instrument and accessories) to perform a test according DIN/ISO 6272, ASTM 02794 and ASTM G14 Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories. 3 STANDARDS Below mentioned standards area ist of the possible standards.

Please check if your package is complete and without physical damage. When there are any signs of damage please record this by making photo's and report it to the delivery ‘company. Make sure they sign for acknowledgement of the damage. 5.2 Disposal The package consists of cardboard and foam, please dispose of these in an environmental sensitive manner. Your local Environmental Authority can help with the disposal. 5.3 Assembling and placing your impact tester To get the most benefit from the Impact Test itis important that itis not only assembled the correct way but also placed on a suitable location. The height isthe guide tube posts limitations to where it can be placed but also the force created at impact limits the amount of suitable surfaces. Please read following instructions and confirm the check list. Ease of use of the impact tester mainly depends on the placement of the instrument. Placing it on a table limits the accessible height and placing it on the floor causes the operator to bend to place the specimens. Placement check list: 1D Surface must be level (Free height above the work surface must be 2.2 meters (Test surface may not flex under test conditions Temperature and humidity should be in accordance with the selected standard D_Check local health and safety regulations to ensure placement and intended use is accordance with local demands Mount the impact tester to the surface TAC Sheen 2908 LL Capelle aan den Lissel phone: +31 (0)10-7900100 email: info@tqcsheen.com Molenbaan 19 TheNetherlands fax: 431(0)10-7900129 www.tqcsheen.com@@rTac Sheen 1. Select the desired punch [7 ] to perform the test with, 2. Place the punch [7 ]in the holder above the ground plate. Mount the weight (4 in the guide tube [1]. 4, Shove the release collar 10 ] over the guide tube [ 1} 5. Pull the release collar [ 10] and weight [4] completely down, and block the weight by turning the release collar lever { 11]. 6. Tighten the fixing knob [ 12 to fix the release collar [10] 7. Place the guide tube [ 1] with the locked release collar [10] and weight [4 ]in the base plate assembly. 8. While holding the weight [ 4] unlock the release collar [10] by turing the lever [11 ] back and lift the release collar { 10] up to the height that the drop test needs to start from. 9. Press the red button [9] to lft the punch and shove the panel under it. Zero the instrument on the sample that is the test object (test sample with coating layer downwards) 10. Hold the guide tube while releasing it by turning the handle [6 } 2) Move the guide tube until the weight lifter lines with Oonthe scale of the guide tube. 11. The Impact tester is now ready to perform the test (see 5.) 6 PERFORM A MEASUREMENT. 6.1 Validation If required a validation has to be performed prior to use. The validation procedure may vary depending on the used standard, Please note the results of this initial validation and store these results together with this, manual, 6.2 Performing tour test The test procedure used depends on the required standard. Not only a difference between ISO and ASTM has to be taken in account, but also if it isan impact resistance determination or a pass/fail test. Please check what applies before using your impact tester. The following procedure is only a guideline to ensure safe use during testing, Please always follow the complete protocol as given in the used standard.

Please note the used standard and check available methods. Below given methods are often used for assessment: 10x Magnifying loupe: A magnifying loupe is the basic method for evaluation. Visual checking for elongation, peeling and cracking of the coating, Please note that visual assessment produces different results between different operators. Several test standards allow the use of chemically testing for cracking. These tests use chemicals that react with the ferrous substrate of the test panel. These tests are less prawn to be influenced by differences between different operators. Voltage testing: Voltage testing is only possible on a fully closed coating surface. To ensure accurate interpretation a reference panel has to be tested prior to performing the impact test. Check if this method is allowed according to the standard. 7_MAINTENANCE + Though robust in design, ths instrument is precision-machined. Never drop it or knockit over + Always clean the instrument after use. + Clean the instrument using a soft dry cloth, Never clean the instrument by any mechanical means such as a wire brush or abrasive paper. This may cause, just ike the use of aggressive cleaning agents, permanent damage. 8 DISCLAIMER The right of technical modifications is reserved.
