2. Description

2.1 Purpose

The PS 200 Ferroscan system is designed to be used
for localizing steel reinforcing bars and determining their
diameter and depth of cover.

2.2 Overview

The appliance can be used for various concrete rein­forcement detection applications. The scanning mode
used depends on the application. These fall broadly into
the following categories:

Application

Avoiding hitting reinforcing
bars when hammer drilling
or coring

Determining the position/
number and diameter of
reinforcing bars for checking
loading capacity

Determining depth of cover
over large areas

2.3 Operating principle

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, viewing the scans and also for evaluation of
results. 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.

2.3.1 Quickscan detection

The scanner is run over the surface perpendicular to the
reinforcing bars. The position and approximate depth
of the reinforcing bars can be determined and marked
on the surface of the concrete.

2.3.2 Quickscan detection with accurate
determination of depth of cover

Before scanning, the operator is required to enter values
for the diameter of the reinforcing bars and the spacing
between the bars. The scanner is then used as described
in "2.3.1 Quickscan detection".

2.3.3 Quickscan recording

The scanner is used as in described in "2.3.2 Quickscan
detection". The data, however, is recorded while the scan­ner moves over the surface. This data is then transferred
to the monitor where it can be evaluated and the average
depth of cover determined. If the data is downloaded to
a PC, this information can be evaluated, archived and a
report printed. Enhanced evaluation options allow Quick­scans to be imported and evaluated automatically.

2.3.4 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. The diameter of the bars and the depth of cover
can be determined.

If the data is downloaded to the PC application, this infor­mation can be evaluated as on the Ferroscan monitor,
with the additional advantage of allowing a series of
points to be recorded along with associated depth and
diameter, archived and a report printed.

2.3.5 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.
Move the grid and then scan as before. This procedure
can be repeated for up to 3 ×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 Ferroscan mon­itor, with the additional advantage of allowing a series
of points to be recorded along with associated depth
and diameter, archived and a report printed.

any information or warning labels.

● Have the appliance repaired only at a Hilti service cen-

ter.

● In particularly critical situations where measurements

have safety and structural stability implications, always

check results by removing material from the surface
of the structure and physically checking the position,
depth and diameter of reinforcement at key positions.

● When drilling at or near to a bar indicated by the appli-

ance, never drill deeper than the bar depth indicated.

5.3 Work area safety

● Ensure there are no objects in the area of work with

which you could injure yourself.

● Keep other people away from the work area, especially

children.

● Avoid working in awkward body positions.

● Wear footwear with a non-slip tread and ensure you

always employ a stable standing position.

● Avoid leaning when working on ladders. Always work

from a secure position and stay in balance.

● Use the appliance only within its defined performance

limits.

● Check with a qualified person that it is safe to drill at

a specified point before beginning drilling.

● Never use the appliance in areas where there is dan-

ger of explosion.

● Ensure the toolbox is properly secured during trans-

port and does not pose a risk of injury.

5.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility

Although the appliance fulfills the requirements of the
relevant regulations, Hilti cannot rule out the possibili­ty that:

● Other equipment (e.g. airborne navigation systems,

medical equipment) will be disturbed by the PS 200
or

● That this disturbance will lead to a malfunction of the

PS 200. In such cases or in case of any uncertainty,
control measurements must be carried out.

5.4 General safety measures

5.4.1 Mechanical

● Check the appliance for possible faults before use.

In case of a fault, have the appliance repaired by Hilti
Service.

● If the appliance is dropped or subjected to an impact,

its accuracy must be subsequently checked.

● Check the accuracy of the appliance each time before

use.

● When moving the appliance between temperature

extremes, allow it to become acclimatize to the new
temperature before use.

● Even though the appliance is protected against the

ingress of moisture, always wipe it dry before storing
it in the toolbox.

5.4.2 Electrical

● Avoid shorting the battery terminals. Such electrical

shorting can cause fire.

● Ensure that the exterior surfaces of the battery are

clean and dry before connecting it to the charger.

● Use only the battery specified in these operating

instructions.

● Ensure that the battery is safely disposed of at the end

of its life.

● When transporting the appliance or storing it for a

longer period of time, remove the battery. Before
reusing it, inspect the battery for any signs of leak­age or damage.

● To avoid environmental pollution, the battery must be

disposed of in accordance with country-specific reg­ulations. In case of doubt, contact Hilti.

5.4.3 Liquids

-WARNING-

A corrosive liquid can leak from defective batteries.
Avoid contact with this liquid. Should the liquid come
into contact with the skin, wash the area affected liber­ally with soap and water. In case of contact with the
eyes, rinse them immediately with water and consult a
doctor.

5.5 Requirements to be met by the user

● The appliance is intended for professional users.

● The appliance may be used, maintained and cared for

only by authorized, personnel who have recieved
instruction in its use. This personnel must be specially
instructed in the hazards associated with the appli­ance.

● Always concentrate on your work. Always think care-

fully about what you are doing. Do not use the appli­ance if you are unable to concentrate.

● Do not use the appliance if it appears to be defective

in any way.

● If you are unsure of any scan results, consult a Hilti

specialist before proceeding.

● Observe all warning and information messages dis-

played by the scanner and monitor.

5.6 Scanning requirements and limitations

● Always check the accuracy of the appliance before

commencing work on structures where measurements
have safety and structural stability implications. Scan
a reinforcing bar of known location, depth and diam­eter and check the results against the accuracy spe­cifications.

● Do not use the PS 200 S scanner if the wheels do not

turn freely or appear to be worn. Contact Hilti for repair
information. Additionally, you can clean or replace the
wheels – refer to section 8.

● Check the settings made in the appliance before use.

● Apply only light pressure to the scanner when mov-

ing it across the surface.

● Reinforcement that lies beneath the uppermost layer

of reinforcement may not be detected.

● Remove all items such as rings, bracelets, etc. before

commencing scanning.
