[. . . ] Ferroscan System FS10 Bedienungsanleitung Operating instructions Contents 1. 18 Main functions The Ferroscan FS10 system provides the following main functions: q Rapid detection and verification of minimum concrete coverage (see section 5. 4). q Scanning and recording of images, with determination of depth of coverage and diameter of reinforcement (see sections 5. 2 and 5. 3). q Printing out of images (see section 5. 5). [. . . ] Not only Hilti but also Hilti customers carry the responsibility for ensuring that batteries which have reached the end of their life are returned for recycling. q Return used batteries to a Hilti centre for recycling. q The raw materials, nickel and cadmium, can be extracted from used Hilti batteries in a special recycling process. Important: Never dispose of RB10 nickel-cadmium batteries with household waste. Do not throw the batteries into a fire or into water. 22 The battery is charged and provides its power via the two power terminals (a). The charger monitors battery cell temperature via the temperature control terminal (b), protecting the battery from damage due to overheating. Notes q The RB10 battery can be recharged more than 1000 times. q The RB10 battery does not suffer damage even when left in the charger for long periods. Safety precautions: See page 17, section 3 5.

Starting point: Main menu Press the Set up button. The hand side of the screen. Set up menu appears at the right- Note: As a result of the detection principle utilised, reinforcement which runs parallel to the direction of movement of the scanner cannot be detected. The grid area must be scanned in two directions, at right angles to each other. Note: In order to receive a correct image, it is necessary to follow the prescribed scanning traces in the prescribed sequence. A) Attach the supplied paper reference grid, using adhesive tape, to the surface of the concrete. Alternatively, if the condition of the surface does not allow the use of adhesive tape, the grid can be marked directly on the concrete using the ruler. Optimum results will be achieved when the grid axis lies parallel to the reinforcement. B) Connect the RS10 scanner to the RV10 monitor using the RC10 connecting cable. The starting position of the scanner is shown on the screen in black. Select the Volume , Date , Time or Display keys. Language and unit of measurement (mm/inch) can be set by selecting Display .
