It is highly recommended that you contact us as soon as you receive your MET.

Your MET-U1A has been Opened, Inspected and Calibrated to perform at Optimum
Accuracy and Repeatability. If you have any questions, please call Tech Support.
Calibrated in HRC Scale (Steel) Scale Selection = HRC
Note: Your hardness tester has had all parameters pre-programmed to read in the
hardness scale and material for your personal application. If this is the scale you will
be testing in, you do not need to go through all of the steps to set parameters for the
MET. You can begin your testing procedures immediately. However, you should spend
some time getting acquainted to the usage and methodology of the UCI transducer
and related components.
a) Power unit on by pressing the Ð button. This will bring you to the “archive”
screen.
b) Press the Ð button again and that will put you in the measurement screen.
c) Place the UCI transducer on the top of one of the supplied test blocks. Hold the
footing at the bottom of the transducer firmly flat against the block. This must
be held extremely steady during this test procedure.
d) Gently Press down on the transducer until you feel the diamond tip touch the
block. At that point, using more force, press down further on the transducer until
you feel it bottom out. Be sure to hold the transducer steady. At that moment,
the transducer symbol on the display will stop blinking and will stay lit. This
tells you that you have made contact and the test is being performed. After
approx. 3-4 seconds, the tester will beep and give you the hardness value on the
display.
