Profometer Covermeter

Profometer 5+

TThe Profometer Covermeter in use by an engineerhe Proformeter 5+ locates reinforcing bars and measures concrete cover - quickly, simply and with complete accuracy. It can also be used to give bar diameter.

The Proformeter 5+ is a lightweight, compact unit. It works with non-destructive pulse-induction that is largely insensitive to external interferences. It is available in two versions, Model S and Model SCANLOG.

The Profometer 5+ now has a processor twice as fast as its predecessor the Profometer 5+ making Bars even easier to find.

Profometer Model S

The Profometer Covermeter Model S is the basic model but performs all the functions necessary to locate reinforcement and determine its depth and the bar size. Model S can be upgraded to Model SCANLOG by purchase of the ScanCar probe carriage. The heart of the PROFOMETER 5 is a display unit with non-volatile memory to store up to 40,000 measured values.

The unit can be set up to record data from 63 locations. The results are displayed on a 128 x 128 graphics LCD or can be downloaded via and RS 232 interface to the PC. Batteries give 45 hours of operation in the operating range of -10°C to +60°C. The probe automatically compensates for effects resulting from magnetic aggregate material or special cement.

Model S Kit

  • Display Unit 128 x 128 graphics LCD
  • Universal Probe
  • Probe cable (1.5 m) & Transfer cable (1.5m)
  • ProVista Software on CD with Step by Step guides
  • Carrying strap and Headset
  • Protection sleeve for display unit
  • Operating instructions
  • Carrying case 463 x 365 x 107mm weighing 2.6kg

Model SCANLOG

The Model Scanlog is identical to Model S except that it also comes with the ScanCar probe carriage with path measuring cable. This enables the additional features to be used ie:

  • CyberScan for displaying the reinforcement.
  • Measuring with Grid for grey-scale display

The results of both functions can be stored and transferred to a PC using the interface converter.
