2.2 Testing Principle
The instrument will generate the pulsed magnet field via high-current excitation
transmitting coil. In case of rebar being detected underneath the magnetic field,
the rebar will produce the turbulence at the excitation of pulsed magnet field, and
then make an induced magnetic field. The receiving coil will convert the induced
magnetic field to an electrical signal. The main machine performs real-time analysis
of the electrical signal, and then identify the location of rebar, concrete cover
depth and diameter. The receiving coil is configured in a multiple set of coil
combination, thus yielding the higher testing accuracy against the traditional coil
testing in a single way.
3 Operation Description
3.1 System Overview
LR-G200 Integrated rebar scanner system is designed to assure indication of each
function menu, instrument status, measurement data and result. The man-machine
interaction for the entire system is achieved through the key and touch units,
which is easier to operate than the traditional simple key operation.

3.2.1 Rebar Detection
The rebar detection function is designed for detection on depth of rebar cover,
rebar location, rebar diameter and distribution. Moreover, the obtained testing
data can be saved to facilitate data view or uploading after detection. The rebar
detection interface is illustrated in Fig.3.2.

Fig.3.2 Main interface on rebar detection

The following operations are allowed in the rebar detection interface:
Key:
【 】and【 】key: select the mode of rebar scanning
【OK】key: go to the parameter setting interface under the appropriate mode of
scanning
【C】key: return to the main menu
11
 Touch: touch the appropriate icon to go to the appropriate mode of scanning
3.2.1.1 Scanning parameter setting
The scanning parameter setting is mainly used to set the parameters which may
be selected under the current mode of scanning. The parameter scanning
interface is illustrated in Fig.3.3 (take the quick scanning parameter setting
interface as an example).

Fig.3.3 Scanning parameter setting interface

The following operations are allowed in the parameter setting interface:

Key:
【 】and【 】key: select the option requiring adjustment
12
【OK】key: go to the status of change for the option
【C】key: exit the parameter change status or return to the rebar detection
interface.
【FN】key: go to detection
Touch: touch the area requiring change to complete parameter change. Touch
the appropriate icon button to function as expected.
The parameters permitting change are as follows:
Component No.
The component no. consists of digit, letter and symbol. The user can set a
component no. in max. 12 digits and min. 1 digit. The user may carry out setting
whenever required, as detailed below:
Move the cursor to the desired component no. Press【OK】key or directly touch
the field to go to the component no. edit status. Now, a soft keyboard will appear
in the bottom of screen. Select the character to be entered with use of direction
key, and press【OK】key to confirm or directly touch Enter. Later, press【C】key or
touch the return button to exit the edit status.
Design Diameter
It is used to set the diameter of rebar being detected. Total 15 types of rebar diameter
can be selected, ie. 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 50.
You have to set the design diameter at both X and Y directions simultaneously
13
under the grid scanning and image scanning modes.
Design Depth
It is used to set the depth of design cover for the rebar being detected within a
range of 2-200.
You have to set the design depth at both X and Y directions simultaneously under
the grid scanning and image scanning modes.
Type Of Component
It is used to set the type of rebar component being detected. You may select two
types of component, i.e.“Beam”and“Slab”.
Notes:
1)The component no. can be set in max. 12 digits without space. If you start
detection without entering the component no., a prompt message will appear,
reminding you of entering the component no.
2)For rebar cover depth measurement, it is required to set the rebar diameter
beforehand. Only with correct setting of design diameter, can the correct Detailed
specification on testing of concrete cover depth being measured be assured.
Otherwise, deviation to a varying extent may occur.
3)Setting of design depth and component type parameters is a basis of assessing
if the Detailed specification on testing of concrete cover depth at the measuring
point during measurement is acceptable. All unacceptable measurements in the
14
measurement interface are highlighted in red for quick identification.
3.2.1.2 Quick scanning
In the quick scanning interface, slowly move the trolley at constant speed to the
right to start measurement. When the trolley approaches the rebar, a green
aiming box appears. Now, slowly move the trolley while the aiming box slowly
approaches the centerline. When the aiming box completely fits the centerline,
the aiming box turns out to be red and the red light gets lit, plus beep sound being
heard. The laser light in front of the instrument will emit a red line,indicating that
the instrument has detected the rebar, right below the red line. In case of
automatic storage mode being set, automatic storage is performed to assess the
concrete cover depth. In case of manual storage mode being set, press【FN】key
to save the depth value, which appears in the bottom of screen. When the trolley
moves far from the rebar, the aiming box gets away from the centerline. When the
aiming box moves beyond the effective range of detection, the aiming box
returns back to the centerline, highlighted in grey. When the trolley stays between
two rebars, the aiming box is in blue.
Continue to move the trolley to the right for detection of next rebar. The same
hint will appear in the instrument. Now, the concrete cover depth and distance to
the previous rebar will appear simultaneously. As illustrated in Fig.3.4, the
concrete cover depth is now 11mm, concrete cover depth for the previous rebar
15
 is 13mm and the distance between two rebars is 21mm.
When the scanning distance is beyond the range of screen display,the screen will
go to the next page. In case of unacceptable concrete cover depth for the rebar
being detected during detection, you may withdraw the trolley for measurement
again. When the trolley moves back to the left side of measuring point, the system
will automatically remove the measured data.

Fig.3.4 Quick scanning interface

The following key operations are allowed during quick scanning:

【 】key: view the measurement data in the previous page during detection
【 】key: view the measurement data in the next page during detection
【FN】key: save the current depth of determination under the manual mode
16
【OK】key: switch between the manual or automatic save mode
【C】key: exit the scanning interface
【�】key: keep pressing the key to estimate the diameter of rebar being scanned,
and instantaneously press for instrument self-calibration.
Touch operation: complete appropriate operation in the field corresponding to
the touch status bar.
3.2.1.3 Profile scanning
Profile scanning is a type of scanning designed to display the location of rebar
being detected, concrete cover depth, distance of neighboring rebars, measurement
diameter, etc. in the longitudinal profile distribution diagram. This type of
scanning is similar to the quick scanning. The profile scanning is illustrated in
Fig.3.5.
With use of profile scanning, slowly move the trolley to the right. When the trolley
moves above the rebar, the aiming box in the bottom right will turn out to be red,
with the same display as that for quick scanning. Refer to the related chapter for
more details. In the bottom left of the screen, the current displacement value may
appear in a real-time manner. When the rebar is being scanned, you may see the
display in the profile point in the screen, in which the concrete cover depth is
marked. The following key operations are allowed for calculation of distance of
neighboring rebars during profile scanning：
17
 Fig.3.5 profile scanning interface

Key:
【 】key: view the measurement data in the previous page during detection
【 】key: view the measurement data in the next page during detection
【�】key: keep pressing the key to estimate the diameter of rebar being
scanned, and instantaneously press for instrument self-calibration.
【C】key: exit the profile scanning
Touch operation: complete appropriate operation in the field corresponding to
the touch status bar.

18
3.2.1.4 Fine scanning
The mode of fine scanning provides the real-time indication of waveform of the
rebar being detected, rebar location, concrete cover depth, center-to-center
distance of neighboring rebars, estimated diameter, etc. in the waveform
diagram. The user may also manually add or delete the measuring point of rebar
according to the waveform distribution pattern.
It is required to determine the location of rebar in a real-time manner under the
quick scanning. Thus, the quick scanning is not suitable for scanning of heavi-
ly-distributed rebar. The fine scanning is specifically designed for heavily-distrib-
uted rebar. The fine scanning interface is illustrated in Fig.3.6.

Fig.3.6 Fine scanning interface

19
In the fine scanning interface, locate the instrument on the surface of object to
be measured, and slowly move to the right to start measurement. The signal
waveform will appear in the screen, and the real-time displacement value will
appear in the bottom left of screen. The signal value starts to increase with the
instrument approaching the rebar, and the waveform curve slowly rises. When
the instrument moves far from the rebar, the waveform curve slowly lowers
down. Now, a peak may appear. The location of peak is just the location of rebar.
A white line appears at the peak, indicating that there is a rebar here. The
concrete cover depth for the rebar will appear above the peak. When a number
of rebar is detected, the instrument will automatically calculate the rebar
distance, to be displayed below the waveform.
In case of intensive distribution of rebar distance occurring during detection, the
waveform signal will get gentle, wider than the waveform signal in the single
rebar waveform diagram. Now, the instrument has to make judgment on rebar
location in combination with variation in the neighboring waveforms. Thus, the
delayed determination of rebar location may occur.
It is required to switch to the pretty heavily-distributed rebar mode in case of
need to measure the heavily-distributed rebar. In the detection interface, press
the Down key to switch to the pretty intensive rebar mode. Under the pretty
intensive rebar mode, slowly move the trolley at constant speed to assure detection
20
accuracy. Press the Down key again to return to the intensive rebar mode.
When the scanning distance is beyond the range of screen display, the instrument
will automatically conduct screen scrolling for display, and permit max. 10m
range of scanning.
The following operations are allowed in the fine scanning:
Key:
【 】key: view the measurement data in the previous page during detection
【 】key: view the measurement data in the next page during change on mode of
detection or during detection
【�】key: keep pressing the key to estimate the diameter of rebar being scanned,
and instantaneously press for instrument self-calibration.
【FN】key: keep pressing the key to go to the manual addition and deletion of
measuring point interface
【C】key: exit the fine scanning
Touch operation: keep pressing the waveform display field in the touch screen to
go to the manual addition and deletion of measuring point interface to complete
appropriate operation in the field corresponding to the touch status bar.
In case of unacceptable waveform signal or deviation in rebar determination
occurring during detection, you may withdraw to the left to erase the waveform
with determination deviation, and restart scanning. Alternatively, you may keep
21
pressing【FN】key at the end of scanning or keep pressing the waveform display
field in the touch screen to go to the manual addition and deletion of measuring
point interface, as illustrated in Fig.3.7. Now, the user is allowed to manually add
or delete the rebar measuring point in the interface.
The following operations are allowed in the manual addition and deletion of
measuring point interface.
Key:
【 】key: instantaneously press the key to move the cursor to the location of last
signal. Keep pressing for quick move
【 】key: instantaneously press the key to move the cursor to the location of next
signal. Keep pressing for quick move
【FN】key: add or delete a rebar at current position
【C】key: exit the fine scanning
Touch:
Touch the waveform data display field to move the cursor to the location where
the rebar needs to be added or deleted. In case that rebar addition at the current
position is allowed, the rebar button in the top of screen is highlighted. Now, you
can touch the button for rebar addition. Similarly, when the button for rebar
deletion is On, touch the button for rebar deletion.

22
 Fig.3.7 Manual rebar addition/deletion
measuring point interface for fine scanning
Note:
Max. 10m scanning is permitted under fine scanning.
With access to the manual addition/deletion measuring point function under fine
scanning, the instrument is not able to return to continue measurement of this
component.
Set to the intensive rebar mode in default under the fine scanning. Measurement
of most intensive rebars can be accomplished under the fine scanning. For the
pretty intensive rebar measurement, press the Down key to switch to the pretty
intensive rebar mode, in which the rebar diameter has to be correctly set.
Conduct scanning slowly at constant speed to assure accuracy of sampling data.

3.2.1.5 Grid scanning

Fig.3.8 Grid scanning interface

Grid scanning is a type of measurement designed to display the location of rebar

being measured, concrete cover depth and rebar distance in the grid schematic.
In the grid schematic obtained from grid scanning, the user can clearly view the
rebar distribution. The grid scanning is illustrated in Fig.3.8.
For grid detection, firstly carry out“Grid horizontal”scanning, and slowly move
the trolley to the bottom left of screen to start recording the displacement. When
the rebar is detected, plot the rebar measuring point and concrete cover depth
with use of the grid line at the appropriate location, and calculate and display the
distance of neighboring rebars. At the end of scanning the rebar in the horizontal
direction, press【OK】key to switch to the“Grid vertical”scanning to continue
24
detection. At the end of entire detection, press【C】key to save data and exit the
grid detection.
The following key operations are allowed in the grid scanning:
【 】key: view the measurement data in the previous page during detection
【 】key: view the measurement data in the next page during detection
【�】key: keep pressing the key to estimate the diameter of rebar being scanned,
and instantaneously press for instrument self-calibration.
【OK】key: switch the direction of scanning
【C】key: exit the grid detection
Touch operation: complete appropriate operation in the field corresponding to
the touch status bar.
3.2.1.6 Image scanning
Image scanning is a type of measurement for comprehensive analysis following
repeated scanning horizontally and vertically in a field of given area based on
combination of fine scanning and grid scanning, which is suitable for measure-
ment of rebar in an irregular distribution.
For image scanning, the user can conduct scanning in max. 5x5 grid (or 2x2, 3x3,
4x4 grid), i.e. horizontal scanning 5 times and longitudinal scanning 5 times. The
sequential location of scanning is up to your desire. Fig.3.9 shows the location
selection interface for image scanning.
25
 Fig.3.9 Image scanning location selection interface
The following operations are allowed in the image scanning location selection
interface:
Key:
【 】【 】key: select the location to be scanned
【FN】key: go to the location scanning or cancel the scanned data for measure-
ment again
【C】key: exit the image scanning.
Touch:
Touch the location field requiring scanning for selection. Use the touch button to
complete operation.
During the single scanning measurement for image scanning, the measurement
26
results are displayed via the waveform diagram. For detailed function and operation
parameter, refer to the fine scanning chapter for more details.
At the end of all data acquisition, the user can perform data import to the
computer for data analysis, and meanwhile generate the 3D graphics to view the
rebar distribution more accurately.
Note:
An individual scanning can cover max. 1m for image scanning mode.
An individual scanning for image scanning mode is not suitable for the manual
addition/deletion rebar measuring point function.
3.2.1.7 Diameter estimation
It is able to display the estimated diameter under all scanning modes. In case of
need to estimate the rebar diameter, move the trolley to a point just above the
rebar, and keep pressing【...】key to go to the diameter estimate function. Wait for
3sec. after measurement, and the instrument interface will display the estimated
diameter and concrete cover depth. Automatically exit 3 sec. later.
Note:
Keep the instrument location constant during diameter measurement, which
may otherwise lead to deviation of measurement result.
The diameter measurement results are displayed only, and not saved.
3.2.1.8 Signal resetting calibration
27
In case of change to the detection environment or considerable difference
between the measured depth of rebar cover and the design, it is necessary to
carry out signal resetting calibration for the instrument. Under any mode of
measurement, press【...】key to start the signal calibration function.
Note:
Instrument calibration shall be carried out to atmosphere, far from the ferromag-
netic substances. As instructed in the interface, press【OK】key to start calibration.
Exit at the end of instruct self-calibration.
The unacceptable calibration signal indicates calibration failure. Now, carry out
calibration again.
3.2.2 Data view

44
to the software description profile for details.
Note:
You shall not shut down the instrument during firmware upgrading. If upgrading
fails, shut down the instrument and manually go to the upgrading interface for
upgrading again.
4 Maintenance and repair
4.1 Pre-operation inspection
Switch on the instrument and go to any mode of scanning for instrument self-cal-
ibration. Later, carry out scanning in the calibrated unit to check for correct
signal.
4.2 Cleaning
The instrument has no water resistance function. Cleaning with wet rag is prohibited.
Cleaning the instrument and accessories with the organic solvent is prohibited.
Clean the instrument and accessories with the clean and soft dust-free rag.
4.3 Battery
The instrument is charged with the chargeable lithium battery. The instrument
can operate for continuously 24h when it is fully charged. In case of low battery, it
will provide a warning on low battery and automatically goes to shutdown. Now,
the instrument has to be charged. In order to ensure that the instrument is fully
charged, please keep charging for 6-8h.
45
Note:
Charging at high temperature is prohibited. In case of out of use for an extended
period, the battery may have slight power loss, leading to reduced power.
Recharge prior to use. It is acceptable that the charger may be hot during
charging. Keep the charging environment well ventilated to facilitate heat
dissipation. Carry out charging with the specific charger. Use of other types of
charger or adaptor may damage the instrument.
5 Precautions on field detection
1. The rough or uneven detection surface may affect the detection accuracy.
Thus, keep the scanning surface flat without large protrusion. If the surface is too
rough to be cleaned, place a sheet on the scanning surface. The depth of the
sheet shall be deducted from the measurement result;
2. Keep the instrument to slowly move at constant speed during scanning;
3. Set the instrument to scan in a direction perpendicular to the rebar routing
direction. Otherwise, it may lead to misjudgment or deviation in depth measure-
ment;
4. For mesh rebar, typically locate the rebar at the top, and then carry out
measurement between two rebars at the top to locate the rebar in the base;
5. In case of change to the detection environment or considerable deviation in
measurement result, carry out resetting calibration on instrument signal. It is
46
recommended to carry out resetting calibration on instrument signal before
every measurement. During resetting calibration, keep away from the ferromag-
netic materials for calibration to atmosphere to ensure calibration accuracy;
6. The instrument is configured to allow large and small range switchover. There
is a higher measurement accuracy for small range case, so it is recommended to
use the small range for detection provided the conditions on range of measure-
ment are met;
7. The design diameter in the measurement parameter setting must be correctly
entered. Otherwise, deviation may occur on depth judgment.
6 Metering and calibration
The instrument will be calibrated according to the national calibration criteria
before factory delivery. The calibration content and procedure are outlined
below:
1)Calibration environment: room temperature, free of strong magnetic interfer-
ence, air relative humidity of less than 80%.
2)Calibration device: 3 rebar calibration coupons, separately standing for the
deformed bar of Φ12, Φ16 and Φ25.
3)Calibration content and detection method:
Depth: For the deformed bar in 3 sizes, the calibrated depth varies. For the Φ12
rebar, depth up to 40mm shall be detected.For the Φ25 rebar, depth above 60mm
47
shall be detected.
Carry out detection with the large and small ranges, and take 3-5 key sampling
points for continuous measurement and take note of results.
The detection results shall be acceptable to the requirements in 1.3 Performance
indicator.
Diameter: make measurement on diameter of deformed bar in 3 sizes in the
coupon. Make measurement on the deformed bar of each size 3 times and figure
out the average value. The detection results shall be acceptable to the require-
ments in 1.3 Performance indicator.
Diameter: make measurement on diameter of deformed bar in 3 sizes in the
coupon. Make measurement on the deformed bar of each size 3 times and figure
out the average value. The detection results shall be acceptable to the require-
ments in 1.3 Performance indicator.
