1. OVERVIEW

TR-200 hand-held roughness tester is a new product . This tester applies to

production site and can be used to measure surface roughness of various
machinery-processed parts, calculate parameters according to selected
measuring conditions and clearly display all measurement parameters and
profile graphs on LCD.

Feature:

Sk, S, Sm, tp;
- High accuracy inductance pickup;
- Four filtering methods of RC, PC-RC, GAUSS and D-P;
- Compatible with four standards of ISO, DIN, ANSI and JIS;

- DSP chip is used to control and process data with high speed and low
power consumption;
- Built-in lithium ion chargeable battery and control circuit have high
capacity, without memory effect. Consecutive work time is longer than
20 hours;
- Design of mechanical and electrical integration is adopted to achieve
small bulk, light weight and easy usage;
- Can be connected to TA-220s printer to print all parameters and
graphs;
- Built-in standard RS232 interface enables communication with PC;
- Automatic switch off, memory and various prompt instructions;
- Accessories of curved surface pickup, measurement stand, sheath of
pickup, adjustable supporter and extending rod are available.

1.1 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

When measuring roughness of part surface, the pickup is placed on the surface
of the part and then tracing the surface at constant rate. The pickup acquires
the surface roughness by the sharp stylus in pickup. The roughness causes
displacement of pickup which results in change of inductive value of induction
coils thus generate analogue signal which is in proportion to surface
roughness at output end of phase-sensitive rectifier. This signal enters data
collection system after amplification and level conversion. After that, those
collected data are processed with digital filtering and parameter calculation
by DSP chip and the measuring result can be read on LCD, printed through
printer and communicated with PC.

1.4 BASIC CONNECTION METHOD

1.4.1 Installation and removing of pickup

For installation, hold the main part of pickup with hand, push it into connection
sheath at the bottom of the instrument as shown in Figure 1-2 and then slightly
pushed it to the end of the sheath. To remove, hold the main part of pickup or
the root of protective sheath with hand and slowly pull it out.

Connection sheath Sensor

Figure 1-2 Installation and removing of pickup

Tip:
1. The stylus of pickup is key part of this tester and great
attention should be paid to it.
2. During installation and unloading, the stylus should not
be touched in order to avoid damage and affecting
measurement.
3. Connection of pickup should be reliable during
installation.

1.4.2 Power adapter and charging of battery

When battery voltage is too low (that is, battery voltage symbol flashs on screen
to prompt low voltage), the instrument should be charged as soon as possible.
As shown in Figure 1-3, the plug of power adapter should be plugged into
power socket of the instrument. Power adapter could be connected to power of
220V 50Hz .then charging will begin. Input voltage for power adapter is AC
220V with DC 6V of output, about 500mA of maximum charge current,
charging time of 2.5 hours. This instrument adopts lithium ion chargeable
battery without memory effect and charging can be fulfilled at any time
without affecting normal operation of the instrument.

Power adapter

Power socket Power top guide

Figure 1-3 Connection of power adapter

Tip:
1. Layout of connection lines shall not affect measuring part
under charging state.
2. Meanings of battery voltage prompts are:
indicates normal voltage and measurement can be
carried out; the black part inside prompt shows
capacity of battery;
indicates too-low voltage and battery should be
charged as soon as possible;
indicates that battery is being charged;
indicates that battery is full and charging power
should be cut off as soon as possible;
3. Relative high noises of power source may affect
measurement of weak signal to some extent when
battery is being charged;
4. The instrument needs to monitor the process of charging
so it is not necessary to turn it off. The instrument will
turn on automatically even it's turned off.
5. Keep the battery switch on unless the TR-200 will not be used
for a long period of time (more than 2 to 3 weeks). If the
battery switch is off, the measurement results will be lost.
6. When the TR-200 is delivered the battery switch is off,
User should set the switch on firstly before use it.

- Avoid crash, intensive vibration, heavy dust, humidity, grease stain

and strong magnetic field;
- Pickup is a precise part and should be protected carefully.
Put it back in the package box after operation of each time;
- Protect standard sample plate provided with tester carefully so as to
avoid calibration fault caused by scratching.

5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
When the tester breaks down, handle the troubles according to measures
described in next section Fault Information. If troubles still exist, please return
the instrument to factory for repair. Users should not dismantle and repair the
device by themselves. Returned instrument should be accompanied with
warranty card and sample plate attached. Phenomenon of problem should be
explained.
