Image processing used in the case that the effect of the reflected waves
from the surface of the concrete can not be fully removed using the
internal fixed surface wave data of the real time auto surface wave
processing. Thus, reflected waves in the form of stripes remain in the
scanning results.
Image processing where an arbitrary line is designated while scanning.
The data of the designated line is subtracted from the scanning results
data, and the reflected wave from the concrete surface is automatically
removed. Thus, only the reflected waves from rebar etc. are shown.
Image processing where an arbitrary line is designated from scanning
results. The surface portion of the data from the designated line is
subtracted from the scanning results data, and the reflected wave from
the concrete surface is automatically removed. Thus, only the reflected
waves from rebar etc. are shown.
Image processing that shows only the waveform of the first peak on the

reflected wave from rebar etc.
Image processing where an arbitrary line from the scanning results is
designated and the designated line is subtracted from the scanning
results data. Stripe reflected waves throughout the entire depth, such as
reflected waves from the concrete surface and reflected waves from the
rear surface etc., are removed and only the reflected waves from rebar
etc. are shown.
Reproduction of

Relative dielectric
constant
Object-specific coefficient. The radio wave propagation rate changes with
the value of the relative permittivity. Therefore, the wave propagation
velocity and scanning depth change change based on the relative

Description of Equipment
This equipment is indispensable for repairing/rebuilding and maintaining reinforced
concrete structures using its accurate and speedy diagnostic technology.
The Handy Search concrete internal probe vehicle, NJJ-95B, (hereafter called this
radar) radiates electromagnetic waves through the surface of concrete and receives
reflected signals from objects found inside such as reinforcing steel bars, cavities, or
other objects that have different electrical characteristics from concrete. Object
position and depth are then displayed and recorded as image data.
CAUTION
Making a judgement on the search results considering the depth sensing
capability of the NJJ-95B:
Since the depth sensing capability of the radar is subject to the conditions of
the object of investigation, judging the search results with no consideration of
the depth sensing capability may cause the accidental cutting of rebar.

1.2 Features
This device has the following features:
(1) The material of the object to be scanned can be either metallic or non-metallic
Reflected electromagnetic waves are generated at an interface when the
electrical property of an object is different from that of concrete. Thus, this radar
can probe polyvinyl-chloride pipes and cavities (dependent on the position and
size) as well as the reinforcing steel bars. Note that polyvinyl-chloride pipes and
cavities echo weakly in compared with the reinforcing steel bars.
If a polyvinyl-chloride pipe or cavity is near or below the reinforcing steel bars,
the reflected signals from the polyvinyl-chloride pipe or cavity may not be
obtained due to the strong reflected signals from the reinforcing steel bars. Thus,
care should be taken when you make a judgment on the search results.
(2) Detects rebars that cross the scanning direction
Rebar that cross the scanning direction transmit a large magnetic wave
reflection. On the other hand, rebar that is parallel to the scanning direction
transmit a smaller magnetic wave reflection. Even if scanning is performed
above rebar that is parallel to the scanning direction, this device can still detect
any rebar that is crosswise to the scanning direction.
(3) Obtaining continuous scanning results
The scanning results are obtained as a representation of the vertical cross
section of the inside of concrete. Thus, a comprehensive view of the internal
concrete conditions can be obtained.
(4) Obtaining scanning results at the site
Handy Search does not need to be secured to the surface of concrete.
Scanning is carried out while Handy Search is moved and results concerning
the internal conditions of the concrete can be provided immediately.
(5) Saving and reading scan data
Using a compact flash memory, scan data can be saved and reopened
(maximum of roughly 50 sets of data can be saved in text format for a depth of
15 m using a 512 MB compact flash). The data can also be loaded from the
compact flash memory card into a PC by using a card reader or the like.
(6) Printing without cable connection
The unit is equipped with IrDA, therefore, printing can be performed without
using a cable using a DPU-3345 series printer.
- 3 -
However, the IrDA optical receptors for this unit and the printer must be set
facing each other at a distance of 50 ~ 500 mm (without any obstacles between
them).
(7) Performing real time automatic surface wave processing
Internal fixed surface wave data is used to automatically remove the wave
reflected from the surface of the concrete during scanning enabling the showing
of the reflected wave from rebar.
Furthermore, surface wave processing can be switched to processing that
uses scan data surface waves during scanning (real time manual deduction)
enabling highly accurate surface processing.
(8) Displaying the data of an arbitrary point after scanning (scroll function)
This radar can store 15m woth of data at a time and display the data of
arbitrary points continuously.
(9) Changing sensitivity and performing image processing for scan data
This radar can display scan results after changing sensitivity or performing
image
processing
(manual
surface
wave
processing,
peak
processing,
reproduction of original image, fixed surface wave processing, or deduction
processing). Thus, performing a scan test again with a new sensitivity setting is
not necessary.
(10) A mark can be displayed in the scan results using the cursor mark function.
A maximum of 7 cursor marks can be placed in the scan results to display the
scan position and depth of the mark.
(11) Providing the screen inversion function
(11) Screen inversion function is available
In case of scanning from right to left on a wall surface, the display on the
screen is upright (normal). In the case of scanning left to right, the display will
be inverted.
Therefore, the user can achieve the correct display by performing the scan
either right to left or left to right.
(12) Recording of date and settings
The main unit records the date and settings (data number, sensitivity, etc.)
using a backup function. When data is output, the date and settings are
recorded.
- 4 -
(13) Compact and light weight
This radar weighs only about 1.1 kg, so it is easy to operate.
(14) Operating with the battery pack and commercial power supply
This radar can operate with the battery pack for about 1.5 hours (at normal
temperature). It can also operate with the commercial power supply when an AC
adapter (optional) is used.

2.3.6 Depth calibration
The depth calibration is the scan depth obtained from the wave propagation speed and reflected
time with the depth gauge corrected using the relative dielectric constant of concrete. The value
must be changed based on the condition (such as moisture content) of the concrete being scanned.
A large difference between the relative permittivity of the concrete being scanned and the depth
calibration value will cause a large depth error.
In order to reduce the depth error, detect an object where the depth can be confirmed (as with
rebar) and peform a correction of the depth guage by setting the depth calibration value so that the
depth displayed in the scanning results basically matches the actual depth.
If it is not possible to scan an object (such as the case with rebar) where the depth can be
confirmed, and the depth calibration value is unclear, it is recommended to set the depth calibration
to “08.0 (+0)”.
In order to change the depth calibration value, select “Depth Calibration” from the set up items
using the ▲▼ cursor keys (invert display) and switch to item selection using the
cursor keys.

connected while operating using the battery, the power turns off and then back on.
3.2.2 Scan Test
The scan test method is shown below.
a) Place the 14 V on the side of the unit over the start line and the forward/backward 14 V
over the scan test line.
b) Press 9 START. After about one second, a short single buzzer sound is generated, the
fixed cursor is displayed at a position of about 10cm of the movement distance scale on the
B mode screen, and then scan test preparation is complete.
c) Move the unit on top of the scan test line at a speed of less than 40 cm/s by rotating the
wheels. If speed exceeds 40 cm/s, a buzzer sounds and the data for that timeframe is
invalid. Please perform the scan test again.
d) Press 9 START again to finish. A double buzzer sound is generated and the scan test is
stopped.
However, if the scan distance reaches 15 m, the buzzer sounds twice and the scan test
automatically finishes.

Figure 3-8 B Mode Sense Test
Remarks
• For the settings such as B/BA mode, Distance feed/Time feed, Absolute value gradation/Offset
gradation, Depth calibration value, and Sensitivity, see section 2.3 “Parameter Setting Screen."
• Automatic real-time surface wave processing may not eliminate all waves reflected by the
concrete surface depending on the conditions. If the peak processing of image processing is
performed in this state, waves reflected by reinforcing steel bars may become invisible.
The waves reflected by reinforcing steel bars can be displayed by the method explained in
section 3.2.5 “Manual real-time deduction processing" or section 3.4 “Image
processing."
• If the unit is moved too fast, a buzzer will sound. Data at the time is not displayed.
• Even if this unit moves in the direction opposite to the traveling direction, data will be displayed
on the assumption that the antenna moves in the traveling direction.
• The latest scan test data in B mode includes data about the antenna's center mark "▼" at the
lower part of the case.
• The position of the fixed cursor on the B-mode display indicates the rear end of this radar, and it
can be used to identify the position of the reinforcing steel being scan tested. (See Figure 3-9
for the fixed cursor.)
- 37 -
3.2.3 Sensitivity
When the power is turned on, sensitivity is set to “A shallow”. “A shallow” is a sensitivity setting that
is applicable to the detection of rebar with a depth of less than 10 cm in general concrete.
"A" of "A shallow" indicates the overall sensitivity; "shallow" indicates depth sensitivity.
There are five levels for overall sensitivity: "-2, -1, A, +1, +2." In general, use the unit in the "A"
setting. Use the +side to increase sensitivity and use the –side to reduce sensitivity.
There are two levels for depth sensitivity: "shallow and deep." Select "shallow" when the object to
be probed is at a depth less than 10 cm. Select "deep" when the object to be probed is at a depth of
10 cm or more.
To change the sensitivity, press 3 GAIN . The sensitivity is changed as follows:
A, shallow → +1, shallow → +2, shallow → -2, deep → -1, deep → A, deep → +1, deep →
→ +2, deep → -2, shallow → -1, shallow → A, shallow → +1, shallow →
Remarks
• To change sensitivity for scanning results, press 3 GAIN after scanning.
If sensitivity is changed after scanning, the unit uses the new sensitivity for the next
scanning.
For the changing of sensitivity after scanning, see "Section 3.3.2 Sensitivity Switching."
3.2.4 Antenna Mark
If core-boring or reinforced rebar locations are known beforehand (shown on a
construction diagram) the NJJ-95B can mark the locations by placing an “Antenna Mark”
at the applicable places during scanning.
The method of use for this antenna mark is shown below.
a) Place the 14 V on the side of the unit over the start line and the forward/backward 14 V
over the sense test line.
b) Press 9 START. After about one second, a short single buzzer sound is generated, the
fixed cursor is displayed at a position of about 10cm of the movement distance scale on the
B mode screen, and then scan test preparation is complete.
c) Move the unit on top of the scan test line at a speed of less than 40 cm/s by rotating the
wheels. If speed exceeds 40 cm/s, a buzzer sounds and the data for that timeframe is
invalid. Please perform the scan test again.
d) Push 10 MARK when the 14 V on the side of this unit overlaps the rebar position or
core-boring as based on design blueprints. (A ▼ is shown on the movement distance
gauge)
e) Press 9 START again to finish. A double buzzer sound is generated and the scan test is

3.2.5
Real time manual deduction processing
Waves reflected by objects to be probed (e.g., reinforcing steel) at a position near the concrete
surface are difficult to identify because they are combined with waves reflected by the concrete
surface (called surface waves). This radar contains the standard surface wave data (fixed surface
wave data) with which it eliminates the influence of the concrete surface waves in real time, thereby
making it easy to identify the waves reflected by the objects to be probed.
However, with the condition of the concrete surface and moisture content in the concrete and for
special concrete, the effect of the reflected wave from the surface of the concrete may not be fully
removed even if auto surface wave processing for standard surface waves is performed and there
may be lateral stripe reflected waves near the surface.
In this type of situation switch to real time surface wave processing based on surface waves in the
scanning data to remove lateral stripe reflected waves.
Perform manual deduction processing as explained below.
a) Place the 14 V on the side of the unit over the start line and the forward/backward 14 V
over the scan test line.
b) Press 9 START. After about one second, a short single buzzer sound is generated, the
fixed cursor is displayed at a position of about 10cm of the movement distance scale on the
B mode screen, and then scan test preparation is complete.
c) Move the unit on top of the scan test line at a speed of less than 40 cm/s by rotating the
wheels. If speed exceeds 40 cm/s, a buzzer sounds and the data for that timeframe is
invalid. Please perform the scan test again.
d) When results for objects that are not being probed overlap with the fixed cursor position,
push 5 Enter. (See Figure 3-9.)
The reflected wave that the fixed cursor is pointing to can be processed into a surface
wave by real time manual deduction. The resulting data of this processing is indicated in “A”
mode or “BA” mode.
A “↓” is shown at the position that the real time manual deduction processing was
performed on the movement distance guide. In the “Processing” area at the bottom right of
the screen, <> is displayed.
e) Press 9 START again to finish. A double buzzer sound is generated and the scan test is
stopped.
However, if the scan distance reaches 15m, the buzzer sounds twice and the scan test
automatically finishes.
- 40 -
Remarks
• Real time manual deduction processing performs the same processing as deduction
processing for image processing during scanning.
See section 3.4.5 “Deduction Processing" regarding deduction processing.
• If image processing is performed for scan data by using real-time manual deduction
processing and the surface wave data for manual surface wave processing is rewritten,
data may not be reproduced during scanning.
See section 3.4 “Image Processing."
• If scanning is to be performed again after scanning is complete using real-time manual
deduction processing, automatic real-time surface wave processing using the fixed
surface wave data will be performed.
• The fixed cursor position shows the rear end of this unit and can be used to decipher the
position of the rebar during scanning.

3.3 Operation while not Scanning
3.3.1 Mode switching
This radar can scan test/display data in both "B mode (vertical cross section)" and "BA mode
(vertical cross section and reflected waveform display)". When the display mode is switched
between "B" and "BA" after scanning, data scan tested in "B mode" is displayed in "BA mode," and
data scan tested in "BA mode" is displayed in "B mode." (See Figure 3-10.)
When the “Distance feed system” method is being used as the “Scan test method”, one screen
displays 49 cm of sense test (movement) distance in “B mode” (maximum recordable test distance
is 15 m). In “BA mode” one screen is the same as in A mode, which is 32.5 cm shown in B mode
(maximum recordable scan test distance is 15 m).
The A-mode (waveform display) portion in BA mode indicates the waveform at the vertical cursor
position in BA mode.
Perform the following procedure to switch between the "B mode" and "BA mode:"
a) Push 4 SET while scanning is stopped and switch to the parameter settings screen.
b) Select the settings item “Display Mode” using the ▲▼ cursor keys (invert display) and
transfer to item selection using the
cursor keys.
c) Select “B” or “BA” using the ▲▼ cursor keys or use the
cursor keys to transfer to
set up items.
d) Push 4 SET to switch to the scan test screen.
Remarks
• If the display mode is switched from “B” mode to “BA” mode or vice versa when the scan
testing stops then the display mode last selected when the scan testing restarts will be in
operation when scan testing is resumed.

Figure 3-10 B-mode/BA-mode Display
3.3.2 Sensitivity switching
As sensitivity can be switched for the scan test results in the same way as during scanning,
scanning does not have to be performed again after changing sensitivity.
Sensitivity is displayed, for example, as "A shallow." "A" indicates the overall sensitivity; "shallow"
indicates sensitivity to depths.
There are five levels for overall sensitivity: "-2, -1, A, +1, +2." In general, use the unit in the "A"
setting. Use the +side to increase sensitivity and use the –side to reduce sensitivity.
There are two levels for depth sensitivity: "shallow and deep." Select "shallow" when the object to
be probed is at a depth less than 10 cm. Select "deep" when the object to be probed is at a depth
of 10 cm or more.
To change the sensitivity, press 3 GAIN . The sensitivity is changed as follows:
A, shallow → +1, shallow → +2, shallow → -2, deep → -1, deep → A, deep → +1, deep →
→ +2, deep → -2, shallow → -1, shallow → A, shallow → +1, shallow →
Remarks
If sensitivity is changed when scanning is stopped and scanning is performed again, the new
sensitivity set while scanning was stopped will be used for scanning.
3.3.3 Cursor operation
Figure 3-11 shows sample display with cursor operation.
(1) Cursor Display
If the cursor keys
, ▼ are pushed after scanning is complete, a vertical cursor is displayed
on the 1 liquid crystal display screen.
The cursors on the screen move vertically when the ▲▼ keys are pressed, and horizontally
when the
keys are pressed. The distance and depth at the intersecting point are displayed
in the upper area of the screen.
If the scan test data does not fit into the scan test screen, the vertical cursor disappears when it
reaches the right or left end of the screen, and the scroll mode is enabled to continuously display
the data stored in the memory.
(2) Cursor Mark Display
With scanning stopped, if the vertical/horizontal cursor intersection point is moved to the
position of the rebar etc. and 10 MARK is pushed, a cursor mark (▼ symbol and number) is
displayed at the cursor intersection point. The coordinates of the cursor mark are distance moved
and depth and are shown on the right side of the 1 liquid crystal display. Up to seven cursor
marks can be displayed.
To delete a cursor mark, move the cursor onto the cursor mark and press 10 MARK.

3.4 Image Processing
Image processing is processing that is performed on data input through scanning and enables
easy deciphering of objects that are being probed for from the scanning results.
This radar contains the following five types of image processing:
a)
Manual surface wave processing
b)
Peak processing
c)
Reproduction of original image
d)
Fixed surface wave processing
e)
Deduction processing
3.4.1 Manual surface wave processing
Manual surface wave processing is used when the effect of reflection near the surface of the
concrete on the scanning results can not be completely removed. (See Figure 3-12.)
(1) Move the cursor to a location where there is not an object that is being
probed
A: Before processing
B: After processing
Figure 3-12 Display before/after Manual Surface Wave Processing
- 45 -
The operation is performed as described below.
a)
a) Press the 6 PRCS key .
“Inverted display” is shown as the item for “Processing” at the bottom of the screen and
operation switches to image processing.
b)
Set "Manual" using the cursor keys ▲▼.
c)
Use the cursor keys
to move the cursor to a location where there is not a object to
be probed in the sense test results. (See Figure 3-12 A-(1))
d)
Press 5 ENTER . Manual surface wave processing will be performed while the reflected
wave at the cursor position is used as the surface wave. At this time, the mark "↓" is
displayed at the previous cursor position.
(See Figure 3-12B.)
e)
To end the image processing mode, press the 6 PRCS key again.
“Normal display” is shown as the item for “Processing” at the bottom of the screen and
image processing mode is exited.
Remarks
• When "Manual" is set with the cursor keys ▲▼ after manual surface wave processing
(including real-time manual deduction processing) and deduction processing, image data will
be displayed using manual surface wave processing that uses the surface wave at the cursor
position (indicated by “↓”) of the last-executed processing. (Manual surface wave processing
can be newly performed by moving the cursor and pressing 5 ENTER.))
→ See section 3.2.5 “Real Time Manual Deduction processing” regarding real time
manual deduction processing.
• If manual surface wave processing and deduction processing (including real time manual
surface wave processing) after scanning are not performed, the image does not change
when the cursor keys ▲▼ are used to set operation to “manual”.
(Manual surface wave processing can be performed by moving the cursor and pressing 5
ENTER.))
• To perform manual surface wave processing again, repeat steps c) and d).
• Manual surface wave processing and deduction processing are almost the same but have a
different depth processing range.
• Manual surface wave processing: area where the effect of surfaces waves is high
• Deduction processing: full scanning depth
→ See "Section 3.4.5 Deduction processing" regarding deduction processing.
- 46 -
3.4.2 Peak Processing
Peak processing deletes multiple reflected waves of surface wave processing results and displays
only the reflected waves from objects being probed (rebar etc.). Use this when it is difficult to see the
depth of the objects being probed due to multiple reflected waves.
Note that peak processing cannot be used for probing objects (e.g., cavities) that have a lower
relative permittivity than concrete.
Peak processing can be performed for the results of fixed surface wave processing (including
real-time automatic surface wave processing), manual surface wave processing (including real-time
manual surface wave processing), and deduction processing.
Procedure for reduction processing:
a)
a) Press the 6 PRCS key.
“Inverted display” is shown as the item for “Processing” at the bottom of the screen and
operation switches to image processing.
b) Set "Peak" using the cursor keys ▲▼.
c)
c) Select “Peak manual," “Peak fixed," or “Peak deduction" using the cursor keys
Peak processing will be performed for the relevant process results.
d) To end the image processing mode, press the 6 PRCS key again.
“Normal display” is shown as the item for “Processing” at the bottom of the screen and
image processing mode is exited.
Figure 3-13 shows sample display when peak processing is performed for the result of manual
surface wave processing.
- 47 -
Remarks
• The display items at the bottom of the screen and their meanings are as follows:
• Peak manual: Peak processing for the result of manual surface wave processing
• Peak fixed: Peak processing for the result of fixed surface wave processing
• Peak deduction: Peak processing for the result of deduction processing
• If “Peak manual" or “Peak deduction" is set without manual surface wave processing or
deduction processing being performed after scanning, the same data as when “Peak fixed" is
set will be displayed.
• If reflected waves shaped as horizontal stripes appear near the surface of concrete after
scanning (with automatic real-time surface wave processing performed), the setting of “Peak
fixed" may cause waves reflected by the reinforcing steel bars to be invisible due to the
remaining horizontal stripes.
In this case, use the following method (1) or (2) to solve the problem:
1.
Perform manual surface wave processing for scanning results to eliminate
the reflected horizontal stripe waves from the data, and then perform “Peak
manual."
2.
Perform deduction processing for scanning results to eliminate reflected
horizontal stripe waves from the data, and then perform “Peak deduction."

3.5 How to Determine Depths and Sample Scan Test Data
The reflected waves shown in the scan test example in Figure 3-16 are reflections of rebar. (↓
position)
The position of the object to be probed (e.g., reinforcing steel) in the traveling direction is
determined as the peak of the reflected wave.
An approximate depth (covering depth) of the object to be probed (e.g., reinforcing steel) is
determined as the center of the reflected wave.
Perform depth calibration (see section 3.2.6 “Depth Calibration”) to reduce the error in the depth
(covering depth) of the object being probed (such as rebar). Use the A mode waveform from BA
mode (see section 3.3.1 “Mode Switching”) to determine the position of the object to be probed.
The position of the object to be probed (such as rebar) is shown by the peak on the right side of
the A mode waveform.
Match the cursor to the peak position to determine the depth.

3.6 External Output Methods
This unit is equipped with functions for printing the screen to a special printer (option) and a function
for saving scan test data to a compact flash memory card.
The following explains how to use the functions:
3.6.1 Printer Output
(1) Setting of an output destination
Press the 4 SET key on the scan test screen, and set "Printer (I)" for "External output" on the
parameter setting screen.
(2) Installation of the printer
Set up the printer so that the IrDA optical receiver faces the IrDA optical receiver on the front of
this unit at a distance of between 50 and 500 mm.
Note that if there is an obstacle between the radar and printer or the printer is not
installed at an angle of ±15 degrees, the printer is unable to operate.
(3) Printing
Pressing the 13 OUTPUT key enables printing to the printer.
Data in the range from 0 m (0 s) up to the currently displayed screen contents will be printed.
During output to the printer, "Date, Data No." as well as the message "Under printing" will be
displayed on the LCD screen.
Notes
●Use the designated (recommended) printer.
- 54 -
Remarks
• For details on the printer, see the printer instruction manual.
• To stop in the middle of printing, press any key.
• The printing range is from 0 m (0 s) up to the currently displayed screen contents. To print all
the scan test data, scroll to the last scan test screen using the cursor keys
, and then
start printing.
• The direction of printed image data changes depending on the setting of the screen inversion
function. For the printer to always output image data in the same direction, retain the same
setting "Normal or Reverse" for "Inversion of the screen."
See section 2.3.2 “Inverting the Screen” regarding inverting of the screen.
• As the voltage of the printer's battery pack lowers, the printing speed decreases. Replace the
battery pack as soon as a sign of a voltage drop is detected.
• When the message "Charge the printer's battery" is displayed on the screen, the voltage of the
printer's battery pack has lowered.
In this case, charge the battery pack or change to a new battery pack according to the
message, and press the 13 OUTPUT key again to start printing.
• If pressing the 13 OUTPUT key does not start printing and the message "Turn OFF/ON the
printer" is displayed, the printer settings may have been initialized. (The system may take
about 30 seconds to display this message after the 13 OUTPUT key is pressed.)
In this case, turn OFF/ON the printer according to the message. The printer will be set again
and get ready for printing. Press the 13 OUTPUT key again to start printing.
• When the message "No printing paper" is displayed on the screen, the printer has run out of
paper.

3.6.2 Data saving in compact flash memory
Notes
Mount/remove the compact flash memory card while the power switch of this unit
is off.
● Make sure of the insertion direction before mounting the compact flash memory card.
● Operation of this unit has been confirmed with compact flash CF115-512M manufactured
by IO Data. The unit may not operate with a compact flash memory card of another company,
so an IO Data compact flash memory card should be used.
● Be sure to initialize the compact flash memory using this unit. If this is performed
using other equipment (NJJ-95B, PC etc.) the compact flash may not be recognized.
● Please do not use a compact flash memory that was used with a NJJ-95A. As the
data format used by NJJ-95A and NJJ-95B are different, this may cause an error.
●
This unit can save sense testing results as data to a compact flash memory card.
There are two types of data save formats: binary format and text format.
(1) Binary format
a)
Configuration
The data format in binary mode consists of the following two sections:
Header section (ASCII data) + data section (binary data)
The header section contains information incidental to the scan test data (date, scan test
parameters, scan test data size, etc.).
The data section contains data attributes and scan test data.
- 56 -
b)
Header section
The following shows a sample configuration of the header section and explains the
items.
The control codes in the header section are as follows: [0x0D] = CR, [0x0A] = LF, and
[0x1A] = EOF.
Sample configuration of the header section:
(1)NJJ-95 B Measurement Data ###[0x0D][0x0A]
(2)Date : 31.12.06[0x0D][0x0A]
(3)Time : 23:59[0x0D][0x0A]
(4)Data # : 999[0x0D][0x0A]
(5)X Data Size : 3000[0x0D][0x0A]
(6)Y Data Size : 512[0x0D][0x0A]
(7)X Scale : Distance[0x0D][0x0A]
(8)Y Scale : 06.2[0x0D][0x0A]
(9)X Scale Adjust : +5[0x0D][0x0A]
(10)Y Scale Range: 6ns[0x0D][0x0A]
(11)MarkX 1 :
3[0x0D][0x0A]
(12)MarkY 1 :

(14)MarkY n : 508[0x0D][0x0A]
(15)END[0x0D][0x0A]
(16)[0x1A] [0x0D][0x0A]
Items in the header section:
(1)ID data such as the model name
(2)Date
(3)Time
(4)Data No.: 000 to 999
(5)Number of lines: 1 to 3000
(6)Number points per line: 512 (fixed value)
(7)Scan test system: "Distance" for distance feed, and "Time" for time feed
(8)Depth calibration value: 06.0 to 11.0, or ns
(9)Distance error compensation value: -20 to +0 to +20
(10)Shows the display range when saving: shallow
= 4ns, standard = 6 ns, deep = 8 ns
(11) X coordinate of the 1st cursor marker: Shown by line No.
(12) Y coordinate of the 1st cursor marker: Shows the point No.
(13) X coordinate of the n-th cursor marker: Max. n = 7
- 57 -
(14)Y coordinate of the n-th cursor marker
(15) Header section ending data
c)
(16)EOF
Data section
Scan test data is configured as a collection of 1-line data.
One-line data is fixed to a length of 769 bytes as follows:
1 byte of header + 768 bytes of scan test data = 769 bytes
The header represents line attributes in the following format:
A0-Bit7(MSB)
A0-Bit6
A0-Bit5
1 when this line contains an antenna marker; 0 when it does not.
A0-Bit4
1 when this line is specified as the surface wave; 0 when it is not
A0-Bit3
A0-Bit2
A0-Bit1
A0-Bit0(LSB)
- 58 -
Details on 768 bytes of scan test data:
Scan test data per line includes 512 points, and 1-point data consists of 12 unsigned
bits.
Two-point data is sent after being re-listed as 3 bytes, so a total of 512 points (= 768
bytes) are sent.
Data is re-listed according to the rule shown below.
[0xABC]+[0xDEF]→[0xAD]+[0xBC]+[0xEF]
Following the fixed surface wave data, the single-line scan test data explained above is
output for each scan test line. The header of the fixed surface wave data is [0xFF].
Therefore, the length of the data section is variable:
(1 byte of header + 768 bytes of scan test data) x (number of scan test lines +1)
(number of measurement lines + 1)
(2) Text mode
a)
Configuration
The data format of the text mode is the same as for the binary mode.
The difference from the binary mode is that the text mode processes all data as ASCII
data.
Header section (ASCII data) + data section (ASCII data)
b)
Header section
The configuration of the header section is the same as for the binary mode.
c)
Data section
The text mode converts one byte of data output by the binary mode to two bytes of
ASCII data (HEX) and outputs the converted data with [0x0D] and [0x0A] being added.
Remarks
• The size of data in binary mode is smaller than that in text mode, thereby saving
space of the compact flash memory.
• The saved data is A/D conversion data (original image data), but not the one after image
processing such as surface wave processing has been performed.
- 59 -
(3) Saving data to compact flash memory
Procedure for saving data in compact flash memory:
a)
Setting of an output destination
Press the 4 SET key on the scan test screen, and set "CF (text)" or "CF (binary)" for
"External output" on the parameter setting screen.
b)
Setting of a data number
An arbitrary number can be assigned to scanned data by setting the number for "Data
No." on the parameter setting screen. The data number (Data No.) is incremented each
time data is saved.
c)
Saving of sense test data
If the 13 OUTPUT key is pressed while a scan test is stopped on the scan test screen,
data from scan testing can be saved to a compact flash memory card.
The file name of saved data is determined as follows:
B1230450.001
Data No.
Scan test time: The first 2 digits indicate hours; the last 2 digits
indicate minutes.
Scan test date
Scan test month month: A, B, and C stand for October, November, and

Theory
5.1 Principle of Operation
The principle of this radar is basically the same as for general radars widely used at present.
Electromagnetic waves are transmitted from the antenna toward the concrete as shown in Figure
5-1. The electromagnetic waves are reflected by an interface with the reflecting objects (e.g.,
reinforcing steel bars or cavities) whose electrical property is different from that of concrete. The waves
are reflected back onto the surface of concrete and received by the receiving antenna placed near the
concrete surface. The distance to the reflecting objects can be calculated from the time the reflected
waves need to reach the receiving antenna. The horizontal locations of the objects can be detected by
moving the main unit on the surface of concrete.
Since this radar is designed to probe objects with high resolution that are near from the surface of
concrete, it transmits pulse waves having a width of only about one nanosecond (one-billionth of a
second) or less.

Velocity V of electromagnetic waves in concrete is obtained from the following formula:
Ｖ＝
Ｃ
εｒ
（ｍ／ｓ）
C: Velocity of electromagnetic waves in vacuum (in air) (3 × 108 m/s)
: Relative dielectric constant of concrete (6 to 11 in the example)
Distance D to the reflecting object is obtained from the following formula:

Ｄ＝ ＶＴ（ｍ）

5.2 Applicable Conditions
(1) Applicable measuring conditions
(Waves reflected by objects to be scan tested in reinforced concrete structures must be received
adequately, so the applicable measuring conditions vary slightly depending on the on-site condition.)
○ Scan test depth (covering depth) within 0.5 ~ 30 cm (case where relative permittivity of concrete
is 6.2 and the diameter of the rebar is at least 6mm)
○ Objects to be probed that are at a depth of less than 75 mm have an interval spacing of at least
75 mm and where the depth of the object to be probed is greater than 75 mm, the interval
spacing of the objects is more than the depth
○ Quality of concrete: Uniform
○ Direction of reinforcing steel: Orthogonal to the Handy Search's traveling direction
(2) Inapplicable measuring conditions
○ Scanning of reinforcing steel or the like in concrete whose surface contains objects such as
metal that reflect radio waves
○ Presence of reinforcing steel bars that are parallel to the Handy Search's traveling direction
○ Concrete that has a narrow (pitch) arrangement for the interval of rebar in the horizontal
direction
(Target: depth less than 75 mm → interval between rebar, less than 75 mm
Depth of greater than 75 mm → interval of rebar less than depth)
