2 Description
2.1 Use of the product as directed
The tool is intended to be used for locating reinforcing bars in concrete, measuring depth of concrete cover and
estimating the diameter of the bars in the uppermost layer in accordance with the specifications detailed in the
technical data provided in these operating instructions.
The tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained, authorized
personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The tool and its ancillary
equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not use the tool or appliance where there is a risk of fire
or explosion.
Modification of the tool or tampering with its parts is not permissible.
2.2 PSA 55 infrared adapter
The PSA 55 infrared adapter is used to store scans before they are subsequently transferred to a computer. The
adapter has a storage capacity of approx. 100 scans.
2.3 Applications
The tool can be used for various non-destructive detection applications on steel-reinforced concrete structures (e.g.
locating reinforcing bars in the uppermost layers, measuring depth of concrete cover and estimating the diameter
of the bars detected). The scanning mode used depends on the application. These fall broadly into the following
categories:
Application Scanning mode
Avoiding damage to reinforcing bars when drilling or core drilling Quickscan detection, Imagescan or Blocks-
can
Determining the position / number and diameter of bars for load-
bearing capacity checks or depth of cover measurements
Imagescan
Determining depth of concrete cover over large areas Quickscan recording
2.4 Using the system
The system functions by running the scanner directly over the surface of the structure. The data collected is stored in
the scanner until it can be transferred to the monitor. The monitor is used for storing large amounts of data and for
viewing the scans. It can also be used for on-the-spot evaluation of scans. The data can also be downloaded to a
PC. The PC software offers advanced evaluation options, data archiving functions and the ability to quickly print out
complete reports.
2.5 Quickscan detection
The scanner is moved across the surface at right angles to the reinforcing bars. The position and approximate depth
of the reinforcing bars can be determined and marked right away on the surface of the concrete.

Printed: 07.07.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5135462 / 000 / 00

2.6 Quickscan detection with accurate depth measurement
Before scanning, the operator is required to enter values for the diameter of the reinforcing bars and the spacing
between the bars. The scan is then carried out as described for Quickscan detection.
2.7 Quickscan recording
Data is recorded automatically as the scanner is moved over the surface of the concrete. This data is subsequently
transferred to the monitor where it can be evaluated and the average depth of cover determined. If the data is
downloaded to a PC, the information can be evaluated, archived and a report printed. Further evaluation options
allow Quickscan recordings to be imported and evaluated automatically, statistical evaluations prepared and scans
displayed in the form of large-area evaluations.
2.8 Imagescan
A reference grid is attached at the area of interest using the adhesive tape supplied. After selecting the Imagescan
mode with the scanner, the rows and columns of the grid are scanned following the instructions on the screen. The
data is transferred to the monitor where the image can be viewed and evaluated. The position of the reinforcing bars
relative to the concrete surface is indicated. Bar diameter can be estimated and bar depth determined. If the data is
downloaded to the PC application, this information can be evaluated as on the monitor, with the additional advantage
of allowing a series of points to be recorded along with associated depth and diameter, and the data saved for
future use. Reports can also be printed. Further evaluation options allow Imagescans to be imported and evaluated
automatically, statistical evaluations prepared and scans displayed in the form of large-area evaluations.
2.9 Blockscan
A reference grid is attached at the area of interest using the adhesive tape supplied. After selecting Blockscan mode,
the user is prompted to select the first area to scan. An Imagescan is then made. After completing the Imagescan, the
user is prompted to select the next area to scan. This should be adjacent to the previous area. Attach the grid and then
scan as before. This procedure can be repeated for up to 3 x 3 Imagescans. The data is transferred to the monitor. The
Imagescans are automatically stitched together to form a larger image. The reinforcement layout can then be viewed
over the whole area. Individual Imagescans can be selected for evaluation by “zooming in”. If the data is downloaded
to the PC application, this information can be evaluated as on the monitor, with the additional advantage of allowing a
series of points to be recorded along with associated depth and diameter, andthedatasavedforfutureuse.Reports
can also be printed.

4.3 Detection range, measurement range and accuracy
NOTE
If one or more of the specified conditions are not fulfilled, accuracy and precision may be compromised. The ratio of
bar spacing to depth of cover (s:c) is often a limiting factor in resolving individual bars.
This is defined as:
cDepth of cover
sSpacing
XSurface
In order to be able to resolve and locate individual bars, the ratio of bar spacing (s) to depth of cover (c) must be at
least 2:1. Minimum bar spacing is 36 mm. The higher of the two values applies when resolving individual bars. A depth
of at least c≧10 mm is required in order to carry out a depth measurement.
NOTE
Place a sheet of non-metallic material (e.g cardboard, wood, polystyrene foam,...) between the scanner and the surface
to be scanned if the minimum depth cannot be adhered to.
The starting point and finishing point of the scan (e.g. from the edge of the reference grid) must be at least 30 mm
away from the nearest reinforcing bar.

5 Safety instructions
In addition to the information relevant to safety given
in each of the sections of these operating instructions,
the following points must be strictly observed at all
times.
5.1 Intended use
a) The tool and its ancillary equipment may present
hazards when used incorrectly by untrained per-
sonnel or when used not as directed.
b) To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti
accessories and additional equipment.
c) Modification of the tool or tampering with its parts
is not permissible.
d) Observe the information printed in the operat-
ing instructions concerning operation, care and
maintenance.
e) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do
not remove information and warning notices.
f) Check the condition of the tool before use. If the
tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a
Hilti Service Center.
g) In particularly critical situations where measurements
have safety and structural stability implications, al-
ways check results by removing material from the
surface of the structure and physically checking the
position, depth and diameter of reinforcement at key
positions.
h) When drilling at or near to a bar indicated by the sys-
tem, never drill deeper than the bar depth indicated.
5.2 Proper organization of the workplace
a) Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could
cause injury should be removed from the work-
ing area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to
accidents.
b) Keep other persons, especially children, away
from the area in which the work is being carried
out.
c) Wear non-skid shoes.
d) Avoid unfavorable body positions when working
from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
e) Only use the tool within the defined limits.
f) Check with a qualified person that it is safe to drill at
a specified point before beginning drilling.
g) Do not use the tool where there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
h) Make sure that the toolbox is properly secured during
transport and does not present a risk of injury.
5.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the tool complies with the strict requirements of
the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the
possibility of interference to the tool caused by powerful
electromagnetic radiation, leading to incorrect operation.
Accuracy must be checked by taking measurements by
other means when working under such conditions or
if you are unsure. Likewise, Hilti cannot rule out the
possibility of interference with other devices (e.g. aircraft
navigation equipment).
5.4 General safety precautions
5.4.1 Mechanical safety precautions
a) Check the tool for damage before use. If the tool
is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti
Service Center.
b) You must check the accuracy of the tool after it
has been dropped or subjected to other mechan-
ical stresses.
c) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
d) Although the tool is protected against the entry of
moisture,itshouldbewipeddrybeforebeingput
away in its transport container.
5.4.2 Electrical safety precautions
a) Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Check
that the terminals on the battery pack and in the tool
are free from foreign objects before inserting the
