Resipod 38mm Concrete Surface Resistivity Meter User Manual

1. அறிமுகம் மற்றும் தயாரிப்பு முடிந்ததுview

The Resipod is a comprehensive solution designed for accurately measuring the electrical resistivity of concrete. It is suitable for both laboratory use under controlled conditions and on-site applications. This device is known for its reliability, accuracy, and rugged, waterproof construction.

The Resipod Geometric model includes a standard fixed spacing surface Wenner probe, with additional accessories for variable spacing and bulk resistivity measurements. The ResipodLink software allows users to input correct probe spacing and geometric correction factors, providing direct resistivity readings on the instrument. Users can also apply self-determined correction factors.

முக்கிய பயன்பாடுகள்:

• Estimation of corrosion rates in concrete structures.
• Assessment of concrete resistance to aggressive agents.
• Evaluation of concrete homogeneity and curing conditions.
• Checking fiber distribution in steel fiber reinforced concrete.
• Identification of wet and dry areas within a concrete structure.
• Correlation to water permeability of rock.
• Indication of variations in water/cement ratios within a concrete structure, including areas most susceptible to chloride penetration.

2. தொகுப்பு உள்ளடக்கங்கள் மற்றும் அமைப்பு

Before beginning, ensure all components are present and undamaged. The standard package includes:

• Resipod Geometric Instrument (38mm probe spacing)
• சோதனை துண்டு
• Foam Contact Pads
• Charger with USB Cable
• சுமந்து செல்லும் பட்டா
• Documentation (User Manual, Calibration Certificate)
• பாதுகாப்பு கேரிங் கேஸ்
• Resipod Geometric Accessory (stand for mounting and variable spacing probe)

ஆரம்ப அமைப்பு:

1. பேட்டரி சார்ஜ்: Connect the Resipod to the charger using the provided USB cable. Ensure the device is fully charged before first use. A full charge provides over 8 hours of operation in standard mode, or over 50 hours autonomy.
2. சுமந்து செல்லும் பட்டையை இணைத்தல்: Securely attach the carrying strap to the designated points on the Resipod for ease of transport and handling.
3. Familiarization with Probes: The Resipod Geometric comes with a 38mm fixed spacing probe and a variable spacing probe (40mm to 70mm). Select the appropriate probe based on the aggregate size of the concrete being tested.
4. மென்பொருள் நிறுவல் (விரும்பினால்): For advanced data management and correction factor input, install the ResipodLink software on a compatible computer. Refer to the software's specific instructions for installation.

3. இயக்க வழிமுறைகள்

ஒரு அளவீட்டைச் செய்தல்:

1. மேற்பரப்பைத் தயாரிக்கவும்: Ensure the concrete surface is clean and free from loose debris. For optimal contact, use the provided foam contact pads if necessary.
2. Position the Resipod: Place the Resipod's probes firmly onto the concrete surface. Ensure all four electrodes make good contact. For the variable spacing probe, adjust the spacing as required for the specific test.
3. Initiate Measurement: The device will automatically begin the measurement once stable contact is established. The resistivity reading will be displayed on the instrument's screen.
4. Record Readings: Note down the displayed resistivity value. For comprehensive analysis, consider recording environmental conditions and specific test locations.

Using ResipodLink Software:

• தரவு பரிமாற்றம்: Connect the Resipod to your computer using the USB cable. Use the ResipodLink software to download stored measurement data.
• Probe Spacing Correction: Within the software, accurately enter the probe spacing used for the measurement. This ensures the correct resistivity value is calculated and displayed.
• Geometric Correction Factor: Apply the appropriate geometric correction factor based on the geometry of the concrete element being tested (e.g., slab, column, rebar presence).
• Custom Correction Factors: The software allows for the input of user-determined correction factors for specialized applications.

4. பராமரிப்பு

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Resipod instrument.

• சுத்தம்: After each use, wipe the probes and the instrument body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the charging port or other openings.
• சேமிப்பு: Store the Resipod in its protective carrying case when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• பேட்டரி பராமரிப்பு: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%). Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• ஆய்வு ஆய்வு: Regularly inspect the probes for wear or damage. Damaged probes can affect measurement accuracy and should be replaced.
• அளவுத்திருத்தம்: While the Resipod is designed for high accuracy, periodic calibration by an authorized service center is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
