Profoscope Rebar Locator

The Profoscope cover meter is used for locating bars, measuring the concrete cover and the bar diameter.

The Profoscope uses electromagnetic pulse induction technology
to detect rebars. Coils in the probe are periodically charged by current pulses and thus generate a magnetic field. On the surface of any electrically conductive material which is in the magnetic field eddy currents are produced. They induce a magnetic field in opposite direction. The resulting
change in voltage can be utilized for the measurement.
The Profoscope uses different coil arrangements to generate several magnetic fields. Advanced signal processing allows:

• localization of a rebar
• localization of the mid-point between rebars
• determination of the cover
• estimation of the bar diameter
• determination of the orientation of a rebar

The Profoscope is designed to permit single handed operation.
All functions can be programmed/activated using the two function keys and the navigation.
The instrument is compact, light and robust suitable for use on a construction site.

Unfavorable lightning conditions may be found for instance in parking decks. Equipped with the optional illumination, the display can be examined much easier even under such adverse conditions.
