Report: Proceq Profometer 4 — User Manual Overview

Summary

The Proceq Profometer 4 is a rebar locating and concrete cover meter used to detect reinforcing steel (rebars) in concrete, measure concrete cover depth, estimate rebar diameter, and optionally assess rebar corrosion risk via half-cell potential when combined with accessories. This report summarizes key features, operation, measurement modes, calibration, maintenance, safety, limitations, and typical applications based on the Profometer 4 user manual.

• Measurement Principle: It utilizes the Eddy Current principle (pulse induction) to detect ferromagnetic materials (steel rebar) within non-magnetic concrete.
• The Probe: The device uses a dedicated search probe connected via a cable. The probe contains coils that generate a magnetic field; when steel interrupts this field, the device calculates the distance (cover) and bar size.
• Display: A backlit LCD screen that displays cover depth in mm and signal strength visually.
• Memory: The unit has internal memory capable of storing thousands of readings, which can be downloaded to a PC via the Proceq software.

Proceq Profometer 4 (also known as the Profometer 4+) is a legacy non-destructive testing (NDT) instrument used for the detection of reinforcing bars (rebars) and the measurement of concrete cover. While newer models like the Profometer 600 series have superseded it, the Profometer 4 Proceq Profometer 4 (also known as the Profometer

• Setup: Connect reference electrode (to green terminal) and rebar connection (to black terminal).
• Drill hole to rebar, clean steel, connect wire.
• Sponge moistening: Use wetting agent (not plain water).
• Measurement: Point electrode on grid → Press trigger → Values in mV displayed.
• Interpretation (ASTM C876):
