1. Getting Started
Note: First time user: Complete the tutorial OR see a demo by a qualified Proceq
representative. If you only need to do simple measurements, please go to chapter
3.3.
Charging the PaperSchmidt
The PaperSchmidt uses a built-in Lithium Polymer accumulator. In case of a low battery alert, you
can still record approximately 100 to 200 impacts. When the display indicates a low battery, connect
the PaperSchmidt to the charger or to a PC. Approximately 90 minutes of charging will bring your
PaperSchmidt to its full capacity. The PaperSchmidt can be recharged at any time.
Power ON
Press the SELECT button to power on.
Plunger USB port LC Display SELECT button
Check the calibration of the hammer
Perform a calibration check on your hammer as described in chapter 6.
Congratulations! Your new PaperSchmidt is fully operational and you can now continue with your
measurements.
Performing a reset
In case a reset is required, this can be done by performing an impact with the select button
pressed.
Note: This will remove any lower and upper limits that may have been set.
Note: Should your instrument be fully discharged, start with a reset after recharging.
Power OFF
The PaperSchmidt will shut down automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Standards and Regulations Applied
The following standard has been applied in the PaperSchmidt.
TAPPI T 834 om-07 (Determination of containerboard roll hardness)
The following recommendation has been taken into consideration in the PaperSchmidt.
TAPPI TIP 1004-01 (TAPPI Roll Number for inventory/tracking systems and bar codes)
This standard recommends a 12 digit roll number. The PaperSchmidt is able to accept roll identifier
names (Roll IDs) in this format.
