6.1. Using the DL Accessory Kit
The Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2 can be used either with impact body D (standard) or with impact
body DL (available as accessory), respectively:
• The D front section (impact body 27 mm long) is commonly used for most Leeb rebound testing,
often referred to as “universal probe for most applications”.
• The DL slim front section (impact body 82 mm long) is used where its narrow profile allows ac-
cess to confined spaces and recessed surfaces.
Make sure the correct impact body and support ring are inserted in the device, otherwise the instru-
ment does not display a hardness value. Support ring and impact body can be changed simply by
releasing an impact and unscrewing the support ring.
