3.3.2 Read the Cover Depth

Step 2 - Place the centre line of the Profoscope directly

over the rebar and read off the cover depth.

e.g.

Cover depth = 15 mm

Note: Ensure that the measurement centre is not

placed over a horizontal/vertical intersection in

the rebar grid.

3.3.3 Advanced Settings

(Neighboring Rebar Correction)

As described in the tutorial neighboring rebars

that are within the sphere of inﬂuence will also be

detected by the Profoscope and will affect cover

depth results. The effects of neighboring rebars can be

mitigated by keying-in a correction value.

Note: This works for rebars of the same layer run-

ning in parallel to the rebar under test.

Measure the distance from the rebar under test to a

neighboring rebar. (See 3.2.5)

Enter the settings menu, select the icon and input this

value. Verify that neighboring rebar correction symbol

is active in the status line at the top of the display. Repeat

step 2.

3.3.4 Advanced Settings

(Minimum Cover Alert)

This is particularly useful for detecting insufﬁ-

cient concrete cover depth when conducting

large scale checks on structures after removing

the formwork or large scale building inspections and so

forth.
