Product Details


Introduction

XHGX507C is a path detection instrument with strong comprehensive performance.It has multiple functions such as pipeline path detection, cable identification, fault finding, etc. The instrument consists of a transmitter, a transmitting current clamp,a receiver, a receiving flexible current clamp, a connecting test line, and an A-frame (optional).The cable path tester can be used for path detection, pipeline census and depth measurement of metal pipelines and underground cables without excavation. The instrument uses a variety of filtering technologies, has anti-interference capabilities, can accurately locate and measure depth, and is suitable for the detection and patrol of various underground metal pipelines, pipeline management and maintenance, municipal planning and construction, and pipeline detection in power supply and other departments. It is one of the necessary instruments for pipeline maintenance units. This function is achieved by the cooperation of signal transmitters, receivers, signal transmitting clamps and connecting test lines.

Features
1. Multiple detection modes: classic positioning mode, wire cruise mode, signal distortion measurement mode;
2. Classic positioning mode: compass, direction and signal amplitude display, intuitive display of the left and right directions of the pipeline.
3. Wire cruise mode: 360° all-round pipeline path indication, continuous display of depth, current and relative position of pipeline.
The interface is simple and intuitive, and can be operated without experience
4. Signal distortion measurement mode: simultaneous display of peak and trough waveforms. In the distortion-free site, the peak and trough positions should be consistent, and the site shape should be symmetrical relative to the center line.
5. Current direction determination (partial frequency), can eliminate interference from adjacent lines and prevent tracking errors by calibrating the current direction.
6. Fully digital high-precision sampling and processing: stable and reliable, ultra-high sensitivity, extremely narrow receiving passband, strong anti-interference ability, and can fully suppress the power frequency and harmonic interference of adjacent running cables and pipelines.
7. Multiple detection frequencies: 11 active detection frequencies and 3 passive detection frequencies.
8. The transmitter has multiple signal output modes: direct output, caliper coupling, and induction method.
9. The transmitter has digital amplified power output, fully automatic impedance matching, and fully automatic protection.

Pipeline detection
Detection range
Direct connection method: Generally, the cable length can reach 0~20 km, which is mainly determined by the ground resistance, cable resistance and cable buried depth
Coupling method: Generally, the cable length can reach 0~10 km, which is mainly determined by the ground resistance, cable resistance and cable buried depth
Induction method: Applicable to cables buried less than 2m deep
Depth and Current Real-time display of cable depth and current value
Pipeline measurement depth 0-20m
 
Depth Accuracy Plane position precision: Center axis position of target cable or pipeline: ±5% (buried depth 0-3m) -10% (buried depth 3m-20m)
True or False Tips Eliminate interference from adjacent cables. When measuring adjacent cables, the measurement of adjacent cables can be distinguished based on the different signal strengths and measured current phases fed back by the adjacent cables. In the process of tracing the cables, observe the phase dial and pointer pointing to distinguish the measured cable from the adjacent cables.
Sound Instructions FM tone that varies with signal strength
Anti-interference display Green: No interference Green: Good (results can be trusted) Red: Severe interference (results cannot be trusted)
Anti-interference ability The extremely narrow receiving frequency band and unique digital processing method can fully suppress the power frequency and harmonic interference of nearby running cables and pipelines.
Interference distance When using the coupling method and the induction method, the transmitter will generate interference within a short distance. The interference distance is related to the transmission power and frequency. The greater the power and the higher the frequency, the stronger the interference.
The minimum distance at which the receiver is not interfered by the transmitter often needs to be determined by experiment:
Pipeline detection: 5m away for the coupling method and 20m away for the induction method can be confirmed as no interference
Cable identification: 2~5m away for the coupling method can be confirmed as no interference
Cable identification Identification method: Intelligent identification by flexible clamps;
Number of cables that can be calibrated: 1 to 20;
Calibration value: The current percentage of the receiving signal and the transmitting signal is between 75% and 135% of the calibration value, which is one of the conditions for successful identification;
Directionality: The transmitting clamp, the receiving clamp and the loading signal must be in the same direction, which is one of the conditions for successful identification.
Cable identification
Detection range
Direct connection method: can identify signals with a loop resistance of 0Ω to 8kΩ (usually can reach a cable length of 0 to 20 kilometers, mainly determined by the ground resistance and cable resistance)

▎Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the XHGX507C serve power utility maintenance workflows?

The XHGX507C is purpose-built for utility maintenance teams who need to locate, trace, and map underground power distribution cables as part of routine inspection and emergency repair operations. Its combination of path finding, depth measurement, and current measurement in a single portable unit eliminates the need to carry multiple instruments to the field.

Q: Can it identify T-junctions and branch points in cable networks?

Yes. The real-time current measurement function is particularly effective at identifying T-junctions and branch points. By comparing current readings at different points along the cable path, operators can determine where the signal splits—indicating a branch. This is essential for accurately mapping complex utility distribution networks.

Q: What signal application method should I use for live (energized) cables?

For live cables where service interruption is not permitted, use the Coupling Clamp method. The clamp encircles the cable without making electrical contact, inducing the tracing signal via magnetic coupling. Alternatively, the 50Hz passive detection mode can identify the cable path using the cable's own operating frequency—no transmitter connection required at all.

Q: How is depth measurement verified in the field?

The instrument provides direct-reading digital depth display. For verification, operators should use the 45-degree triangulation method: mark the cable position, tilt the receiver at a 45° angle and walk away from the cable until the null point, then measure the ground distance—which should equal the cable depth. The 80% depth method provides a secondary verification check.

Q: What warranty and support is included?

12-month standard warranty against manufacturing defects with lifetime technical support. CE and ISO certified. Each complete kit includes receiver, transmitter, connection cables, coupling clamp, ground rod, rechargeable batteries, chargers, user manual, and a rugged transport case. On-site operator training and extended warranty options are available.

This XHGX507C1 tester is an absolute lifesaver for our farm power crews out in Mato Grosso’s soybean fields! It handles dusty, high-temperature farm terrain flawlessly, locks underground cable faults super fast without messy digging. Super tough build, battery lasts all day roaming wide farm lots, and cuts our field work stress down by half. Worth every real for rural utility maintenance!

Been using this locator on job sites for a couple months now — no regrets. Picks up lines deep and accurate, way better than my old unit. Love the 11 frequency options, really helps with interference in busy areas. Build feels sturdy, battery lasts all day. Manual's a bit thin for beginners, but if you know your stuff, it's straightforward. Honestly punches way above its price tag. Would recommend to anyone in utility locating or power maintenance.
