2.1 Use
The PS 1000 is used for locating objects embedded
in concrete structures.
2.2 Limitations of use
The tool complies with the requirements of EN
302066-1 and 302067-2.
Prior to planned use of ground or wall penetrating
radar equipment, the user/operator should check that
there are no sensitive radio sites/systems in the near
vicinity (airfields, radio astronomy sites, etc.). These
sites may be generally defined in the licence issued by
the responsible national administration. If these are
present in the area, then liaison with the organization
en

concerned should take place to obtain agreement,
prior to any measurements being performed.
3. Before use

On brand-new devices, you will first be prompted to select the language, country, region and unit.
1. Use the rocker switch to select the desired language and confirm your choice with the "OK" function
button.
2. Then use the rocker switch and the confirmation button to select the required parameter and then carry
out the settings.
3. After carrying out the settings, use the "OK" function button to confirm them.
NOTE You can also use the "Skip" function button to shift these settings so that they will remain the same
the next time the device is switched on.

4.3 Carrying out Quickscan detection
Locating objects embedded in concrete structures in real time mode for direct marking.
1. Switch the device on and navigate to the home screen using the Home button.
2. Select the "Quickscan detection" function.
3. Hold the scanner onto the surface to be examined.
4. Start the measurement with the start/stop button.
A beep is heard which signals the start of the measurement and a red recording point appears in the
display field.
5. Move the scanner to the left or right (at least 30 cm / 12") and back along the same measurement track
over the surface to be scanned in order to locate the embedded objects.
If the scanning movement is very fast, an audible and visible warning is issued. If the scanning movement
is too fast, the measurement is canceled.
6. You can use the "Color scheme", "Contrast" and "Param." function buttons to adjust the visualization
parameters.
NOTE You must set the values for "Param." before measuring (see Operating instructions in the device).
7. End the measurement with the start/stop button.
A double beep signals that the measurement has ended.
4.4 Quickscan recording
NOTE
This function is not available for the PS 1000‑B version.
Recording a relatively long measurement scan line in concrete structures.
1. In the home screen, select the "Quickscan recording" function.
2. Set the scanning direction.
3. Hold the scanner onto the surface to be examined.
4. Start the measurement with the start/stop button.
A beep is heard which signals the start of the measurement and a red recording point appears in the
display field. You must scan a minimum length of 32 cm (13") in order to receive analyzable data. The
maximum scanning length is 10 m (30 ft).
en

5. Move the scanner in the direction which you preset.
If the scanning movement is very fast, an audible and visible warning is issued. If the scanning movement
is too fast, the measurement is canceled.
Do not change the scanning direction. If you move the scanner more than 16 cm (7") in the other direction,
the measurement will be automatically canceled.
6. End the measurement with the start/stop button.
A double beep signals that the measurement has ended.
7. Check the measurement result with the "Preview" function. Set the control behavior of the rocker switch
using the function button at the top on the left.
NOTE You can use the "Contrast", "Param." and "View" function buttons to change the visualization
parameters. If you change the "Param.", the data must be recalculated. To do this, press the "OK"
confirmation button.
4.5 Image scan 4
For a flat view of objects embedded in concrete structures.
1. Carry out a Quickscan detection to evaluate the orientation of the embedded objects (see Section 4.3).
2. Move the reference grid at right angles to the location of object location onto the surface to be examined.
3. In the home screen, select the "Image scan" function.
4. Select the grid size (only possible with the PS 1000 version) and the starting point.
5. According to grid and starting point, hold the scanner on the surface to be examined.
6. Start the measurement with the start/stop button.
A beep is heard which signals the start of the measurement and a red recording dot appears in the display
field. A double beep signals the end of the track.
The measurement ends automatically at the end of each measurement track.
7. Move the scanner according to the specified grid over the surface to be examined. As far as possible,
measure all the tracks.
If the scanning movement is very fast, an audible and visible warning is issued. If the scanning movement
is too fast, the measurement is canceled and the measurement track must be repeated.
8. To discard the track which was last measured, press the Cancel button.
You can then start a new measurement.
After the last track has been scanned, the measurement result is displayed immediately and you can check
and analyze the measurement result.
You can use the "Contrast", "Parameters" and "View" function buttons to change the visualization
parameters. If you change the "Parameters", the data must be recalculated. To do this, press the "OK"
confirmation button.
