2 Description

2.1 Use of the product as directed
The tool is intended to be used for locating reinforcing bars in concrete, measuring depth of concrete cover and
estimating the diameter of the bars in the uppermost layer in accordance with the specifications detailed in the
technical data provided in these operating instructions.
The tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained, authorized
personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The tool and its ancillary
equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not use the tool or appliance where there is a risk of fire
or explosion.
Modification of the tool or tampering with its parts is not permissible.
2.2 PSA 55 infrared adapter
The PSA 55 infrared adapter is used to store scans before they are subsequently transferred to a computer. The
adapter has a storage capacity of approx. 100 scans.
2.3 Applications
The tool can be used for various non-destructive detection applications on steel-reinforced concrete structures (e.g.
locating reinforcing bars in the uppermost layers, measuring depth of concrete cover and estimating the diameter
of the bars detected). The scanning mode used depends on the application. These fall broadly into the following
categories:
Application
Avoiding damage to reinforcing bars when drilling or core drilling
Determining the position / number and diameter of bars for load-
bearing capacity checks or depth of cover measurements
Determining depth of concrete cover over large areas

2.4 Using the system

The system functions by running the scanner directly over the surface of the structure. The data collected is stored in
the scanner until it can be transferred to the monitor. The monitor is used for storing large amounts of data and for
viewing the scans. It can also be used for on-the-spot evaluation of scans. The data can also be downloaded to a
PC. The PC software offers advanced evaluation options, data archiving functions and the ability to quickly print out
complete reports.
2.5 Quickscan detection
The scanner is moved across the surface at right angles to the reinforcing bars. The position and approximate depth
of the reinforcing bars can be determined and marked right away on the surface of the concrete.
