Figure 12: 

Single-Line option to mask a rebar by double-tapping on it

When utilizing the Single-Line Mode, the user has the option to display 
the Cover curve, Signal Strength curve or no curve.  The Signal Strength 
curve is used to confirm the presence of reinforcing bars. Local effects 
such as metallic elements present below the surface (metallic wire, anchor-
age, etc.) or changes in testing speed when obtaining the data can result 
in an “apparent” reinforcing bar appearing on the screen. It is possible to 
hide the “apparent” reinforcing bar by double tapping on the correspond-
ing dot when in Single-Line Cover or Signal Strength View and selecting 
the “Mask” option. The corresponding cover values will not be taken into 
account in the Statistical View (refer to Section 

 

“3.2.3. Cover Meter Display 

Views”).
The path length measurement accuracy depends on the test surface. The 
accuracy of measurements done on a smooth concrete surface (concrete 
poured in metallic shuttering) is shown in the specifications, see “7. Tech-
nical Specifications”. On rougher surfaces the measured length may be 
reduced or checked at certain intervals by setting markings on the test 
surface and comparing with marks set on the display (long push on 

).

After storage (tap 

7

), the data can be seen in the Statistics View, the 

Single-Line View  and also in the Snapshot View if at least one diam-
eter was measured (see  “3.2.3. Cover Meter Display Views”).
The maximum scan length is 999 m / 3’280 feet in each direction (to the 
right and to the left from the zero line).
