parallel to the assumed direction of the
rebar to be scanned. Then scan perpendicular to the CL until the probe
cart crosses a rebar. The display shows (only if probe is fixed on the cart):
Approaching a rebar
Rebar is inclined to the CL
(minimum inclination for a display is 6 degrees).
When the Center Line
16
is precisely over the rebar (red LED of probe center is lit) it shows:
Actual Cover

Both rectangles Green:
Ideal probe position:
Both coils maximum signal strength and
green
Bad probe position:

A rebar is shown only within the cover
ranges indicated in Figure 2.

MC
(SLA), even the Spot Range is set.
In most cases the rebars of the first and second layers are fixed in a rec-
tangular mesh (e. g. vertical and horizontal rebars in a wall).
