Best accuracy achieved for bars between 10 mm and 40 mm in diameter.
: Configured with a wider magnetic field to measure deep concrete covers, though it sacrifices a degree of spatial resolution in dense rebar grids. 3. Step-by-Step Operating Instructions
Locating reinforcing bars requires systematic scanning patterns. Step 1: Locate the Rebar Direction Place the probe flat against the concrete surface. Move the probe slowly in a straight horizontal line.
: Compare results against the design minimum cover to provide a clear "Accepted/Not Accepted" status. Section 5: Visual Documentation
This is the most common use case. The manual breaks this into a 5-step procedure. proceq profometer 4 manual

Re-verify the bar diameter setting and ensure the probe face sits completely flush against the concrete surface.
Watches, steel-toed boots, and mobile devices held close to the probe.

When rebars are positioned close together, their magnetic fields overlap. The search head senses the combined metal mass, causing the instrument to register a shallower cover depth than what actually exists. Use the Close-up range and execute slow, deliberate sweeps to isolate individual peaks. 3. Presence of Tie Wires and Welded Mesh
The instrument typically offers two operating modes optimized for different depths:
Running the probe parallel to adjacent bars can interfere with the signal of the target bar. Always scan perpendicular to the direction of the bar you want to locate. 5. Maintenance, Storage, and Troubleshooting Maintenance Guidelines
Move the probe slowly across the concrete surface in a grid pattern. : Compare results against the design minimum cover
Consult the official Proceq Profometer 4 user manual and technical datasheet for exact specifications, calibration procedures, and safety certifications.
Temperature and magnetic interference can drift over time. Re-zero every 15–20 minutes for maximum precision. 2. Locating Rebars Like a Pro Profometer 4
