Profoscope Rebar Locator and Covermeter, Basic Model
The Profoscope by Proceq is a versatile, fully-integrated rebar detector and covers meters with detection capabilities to a maximum depth of 7in (180mm). A single #5 reinforcing bar can be located to a depth of 5.5in (140mm). This model is designed for one-handed operation and feature rebar-proximity indicators with visual and acoustic locating aids for location and minimum cover alert. The detector can identify the mid-point between bars as well as their orientation. Rebar diameter can also be estimated within the specified testing range. These unique features and Proceq’s intuitive user interface make the task of locating reinforcing steel simple and efficient.
The icon-based menu system on the display shows all setting, detection, and navigation information. A simple crosshair icon shows the relative location of strongest signal beneath the meter. All values are easily switched between metric and imperial units of measure. The display itself has a switchable backlight for low-light environments. The 30-second sleep mode and 120-second auto shut-down features extend the battery life of the Profoscope. A start-up test kit consists of two short lengths or rebar in a cardboard box with a lid. The kit allows simple user orientation and training for all functions in a comfortable environment, before use on a job site. A canvas carrying bag, carrying strap, batteries and marking chalk are also included. The Profoscope unit is powered by two AA batteries, and has a battery life of up to 50 hours with the display backlight off.
