ot er qualified users and to different locations upon coordination of
c ange of owners ip or location to t e FCC and coordination wit existing
aut orized operations.
(e) T e FCC/NTIA coordination report s all identify t ose geograp ical
areas wit in w ic t e operation of an imaging system requires additional
coordination or wit in w ic t e operation of an imaging system is
pro ibited. If additional coordination is required for operation wit in
specific geograp ical areas, a local coordination contact will be provided.
Except for operation wit in t ese designated areas, once t e information
requested on t e UWB imaging system is submitted to t e FCC no
additional coordination wit t e FCC is required provided t e reported
areas of operation do not c ange. If t e area of operation c anges, updated
information s all be submitted to t e FCC following t e procedure in
paragrap (b) of t is section.
(f) T e coordination of routine UWB operations s all not take longer t an
15 business days from t e receipt of t e coordination request by NTIA.
Special temporary operations may be andled wit an expedited turn-
around time w en circumstances warrant. T e operation of UWB systems
in emergency situations involving t e safety of life or property may occur
wit out coordination provided a notification procedure, similar to t at
contained in §2.405(a) t roug (e) of t is c apter, is followed by t e UWB

3 Introduction
3.1 Overview
This document provides the operating and configuration instructions for the Concrete
Scanner. The Scanner measures locates objects that are embedded in concrete such as rebar,
pipes, and conduits, measures concrete thickness, and can located defects in concrete such as
voids. The scanner can produce simple cross sections, depth slice images, or 3D images of the
concrete structure. The system includes a scanner unit with an integrated radar, odometer, and
power line detector, and a tablet computer. An optional long handle can be used to scan hard
to reach places. The Concrete Scanner has been designed so that no cables are used in order
to increase ease of use and reliability. The shipping case contains an integrated battery
charging system to recharge all system components simultaneously. The entire system is
stored rugged shipping case is designed for shipping and transport in rugged situations.
The system consists of the following components.
1. A hard shell shipping container with custom foam inserts for the system
components.

2. A multi-port battery charging system that simultaneously charges two sensor
batteries, and the tablet computer.
3. Two batteries for the sensor unit.
. A long handle for the sensor unit.
5. The sensor unit with GPR, odometer, and power line sensors.
6. Tablet computer (may be provided separately).
4 Operation
This section provides operating instructions for conducting surveys, generating reports, and
recharging the batteries. Before starting survey, the needs to determine the area to be
surveyed and how that area will be covered. Typically, there are two types of surveys that are
conducted: a single line survey that produces a cross section view, or a multi-line survey that
produces a 3D view. Surveys consist of one or more straight-line scans. The concrete surface
must be clean and dry.
4.1 Hardware Assembly
During normal storage and transportation, the Concrete Scanner is packed in its shipping
case. Proceed as follows to assemble the unit for surveying.
Figure 2. Concrete Scanner as stored in its shipping container.

1. Open the shipping container (see Figure 2) and disconnect the charging cable from the
tablet.
2. Remove the scanner and the tablet from the shipping case. Remove one of the
batteries from the shipping case and attach it to the scanner.
3. If the long handle will be used, remove the three pieces of the long handle from the
shipping case: the wide handle, the telescoping tube, and the scanner clamp. Mount the
scanner clamp to the scanner, then attach the telescoping tube, and finally attach the
wide handle. Adjust the telescoping tube as desired.
. The tablet computer can be located in one of four locations during the survey (see
Figure 3): on a stand, on the long handle, on the scanner, or held in-hand. For most
surveys, the use of the stand is recommended.
a. For the stand arrangement, connect the long handle and telescoping tube, and
then insert the tube into the holder in the shipping case. Mount the tablet holder
to the wide handle on the stand and then mount the tablet.
b. For the long handle arrangement, mount the tablet holder to the wide handle and
then mount the tablet.
c. For the scanner arrangement, mount the scanner clamp to the scanner and then
attach the wide handle. Finally, mount the tablet holder to the wide handle and
then mount the tablet.
d. For the in-hand arrangement, attached the hand strap to the tablet.
