Determining Cover - James Rebarscope R-C-400 Operator's Manual

Determining Cover

The Rebarscope® allows the operator to easily determine the
concrete cover of rebar. Since the Rebarscope® utilizes eddy
current technology, cover is determined with even more accuracy
than its predecessor. With this, only the bar/pipe is located and no
small particles of metals (such as fly ash) in the concrete can
influence the measurement. The following steps allow for proper
cover measurements:
Step 1: Choose either Imperial or Metric units on the system menu
screen.
Step 2: Decide whether short or deep mode is necessary for your
testing. If needing to adjust this setting, go to the Locate Cover
screen and follow the steps.
