REMSCAN
QUICK START
INSTRUCTIONS
PDA v1.12
PREPARATION PRIOR TO SCANNING SAMPLES
1. In advance, ensure that the batteries in the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and the instrument are
fully charged and loaded as per the Operations Manual instructions. The PDA battery will give up
to 8 hours of regular scanning and the instrument batteries will each give at least 3 hours of regular
scanning. It is good practice to ensure that one instrument battery is charging while the other is in
use to allow continuous scanning.
2. Turn on the RemScan instrument using the button at the base of the handle below the trigger. The
button will ash red/green for a few seconds before turning solid green. When the light is green the
instrument is turned on. It is recommended that the instrument is turned on BEFORE the PDA is
turned on.
3. Start the PDA as follows:
a. Once the instrument is turned on, using the stylus (or a pen) press the at the top right hand
corner of the PDA once and release (see diagram over page). The green Windows Mobile
home screen will appear.
b. Push the “START” button on the PDA front panel (see diagram over page).
4. After a few seconds a warm up screen will appear with a blue/green progress bar in the centre
of the screen. The message “Device is warming up” will appear. After around 15 minutes the
instrument will be warmed up and a message “Background Required. Please attach Background
cap and press trigger” will appear.
5. Place the Background Cap (black cap labeled “Background”) on the nose cone of the instrument
and ensure it is secured and clipped on correctly. Pull the trigger and a blue/green progress bar will
appear and the scan will take around 1 minute to complete.
6. If the Background Cap scan was unsuccessful the message “Background energy is out of range.
Make sure the background cap is clean and rmly in place” or “Background Failed” will appear.
Please ensure that the Background Cap and Nose Cone is clean and dry. This can be done using
deionized water but MUST be thoroughly air-dried before using. If background material is noticably
dirty, replace with spare Background cap supplied with kit. Then ensure the cap is attached rmly
and follow the prompts on the screen to repeat the calibration process.
7. If the Background Cap scan was successful, the message “Background Scan Complete.
Reference Scan Required” will appear. Place the Reference Cap (white cap labeled “Reference P/S”)
on the nose cone and ensure it is secured and clipped on correctly. Pull the trigger and a blue/green
progress bar will appear and the scan will take around 1 minute to complete.
8. If the reference scan is unsuccessful the message “Re-present sample” or “Reference Failed” or
“Reference energy is out of range. Make sure the reference cap is clean and rmly in place” will be
displayed on the screen. Please ensure that the Reference Cap is clean and dry and that the cap
is attached rmly and follow the prompts on the screen to repeat the calibration process.
9. If the Reference Cap scan is successful the instrument is now ready for scanning soil and a
message will be displayed “instrument is now ready for scanning soil”.
10. If the Background and Reference Caps are both clean and dry and the calibration steps are
unsuccessful after several attempts, please contact Ziltek for technical assistance.
11. The PDA will ask the user to repeat the background standarization (steps 5-8) every hour.
NOTE: A quick reference check may be required to calibrate the instrument before the next
background is needed. A message will be displayed saying that a quick reference check is
required. Clean the nose cone and place the Reference P/S cap on and click the trigger.
12. Select Calibration Model - Press the “Admin” icon and enter password, the default password is
“admin”, then click “Login”. Select desired calibration model from the drop down menu, click “Save”.

SCANNING SAMPLES
13. Prepare soil scanning area.
a. Remove any gross pieces of organic matter (e.g. bark, woodchip, straw) or foreign objects
(e.g. brick, stones, gravel, glass) from the soil surface to be scanned.
b. Firmly compress the soil surface to be scanned, so the surface is at and rm using the
tamping tool provided in the kit (or a hand trowel).
c. If the soil surface to be scanned contains excessive moisture, air-dry the sample before
scanning. The TPH prediction is likely to be more accurate if the soil is dryer.
14. Enter the Sample ID into the PDA (up to 20 characters, please note “\”, “/” and “:” are not allowed).
15. Place the nose cone of the instrument in direct contact with the soil ensuring that the nose cone
face is ush against the soil surface. Use the weight of the instrument to hold the nose cone in
place – DO NOT push down on the instrument as this may cause a reading failure due to soil being
forced into the nose cone.
16. Press the trigger button once and release. A blue/green bar will appear to progress over 15
seconds and a TPH reading in mg/kg (C10-C36/40) will be displayed on the screen. You MUST hold
the instrument as still as possible during the scanning period.
If RemScan gives a reading greater than 1,000, clean the nose cone prior to next measurement to
avoid cross contamination onto the next sample.
17. To scan more soil samples repeat steps 12 to 15 above and follow the prompts on the screen.
DOWNLOADING DATA AND SWITCHING OFF
18. To switch o the PDA, rstly press the “RemScan Program Exit Button” on the screen. Once at
the home page, the Bluetooth connectivity automatically switches o then the screen should then
switch o.
19. Once the PDA is switched o, turn the RemScan o by pressing the power button on the bottom
end of the handle once and release. The green light in the centre of the power button will turn red
and then switch o.
20. To download scanning data, remove the SD card from the slot on the top edge of the PDA by
removing the rubber cover and pushing the spring loaded SD card downwards until it pops out.
Insert into a computer, click on the SD card folder and download the data log in the “current date.
CSV” le from the “UserData” folder. This can also be accessed via USB connection. REMEMBER
to reinsert the SD card before resuming scanning.
