Locate Function Enhancements
Strike Alert Audio and visual warning when a cable or pipe less than 30cm deep is detected. Operates in Active and Passive locating modes
Dynamic Overload Protection™ (40dB, automatic ) Automatically manages the system gain to compensate for strong signals e.g. from mains power or substations, to enable accurate locating
Current Direction™ (CD)
  • Measures the direction of current flowing in buried pipes or cables to ensure that an operator is able to identify and follow the target utility
  • Provides operator with arrows indicating the direction of current flowing in the located pipe or cable to confirm that they are following the target utility
iLOC™
  • Metric: Remote transmitter control from up to 450m away
  • Imperial: Remote transmitter control from up to 1400' away
  • Control transmitter frequency, power level and SideStep
Side Step
  • Enables locating where other signals are interfering, and without compromising the optimum locate frequency
  • Remotely shifts the locate and transmitter frequency by several Hz, out of the bandwidth of other locate signals that may be interfering with the locate
Simultaneous depth and current readout Both utility depth and locate signal current are displayed simultaneously, giving the operator more information to help them to follow the target utility
Survey Measurements
  • Store up to 1,000 survey points within the locator, and append GPS data from internal GPS (if fitted) or external GNSS sources over Bluetooth®
  • Export data immediately or as a batch over Bluetooth
Fault Find Apply a Fault Find signal with a Tx-5 and Tx-10 transmitter, then use an accessory A-Frame to detect and pinpoint insulation faults
Fault find accuracy:
Metric: 100mm
Imperial: 4
4.9 4kHz locate frequency and 4kHz CD
  • Designed for tracing higher impedance lines such as twisted pair telecoms or street lighting over distance
  • Combine with Current Direction to help trace the target utility through dense or complex infrastructure
Peak+ mode Use the accurate Peak bargraph, and add either proportional Guidance arrows for faster locating, or Null arrows to check for the presence of distortion
Integrated GPS option Faster surveying using integrated GPS – no need for a separate hand-held device
