Underground Cable Pipe Locator | Metal Pipeline Detection System|
Product Description
XHGX507B underground cable pipe locator has been used by thousands of users in the power cable test has a high reputation in the field. We used the latest concepts developed XHGX507B pipeline locator, especially for cable-to-ground insulation failure of fast and accurate positioning, (charged) to find the path, depth positioning, cable identification.
XHGX507B is a high-performance underground metal pipeline detection system consisting of a signal transmitter and a receiver. It can be used for path detection, pipeline survey and depth measurement of metal pipelines and underground cables. With a variety of optional accessories, it can perform unique identification, as well as locating pipe insulation damage and some types of cable faults.
Applications & Target Audience: Engineered for water supply and gas utility pipeline maintenance crews, telecommunication infrastructure contractors, construction and excavation companies, and oil and gas pipeline operators that need to trace buried metal pipelines and cables, measure depth, identify cables and locate pipe insulation damage before digging.
Product Features
- Compass and direction display: visually display the direction of the pipeline and the left and right directions.
- Measure the current direction to eliminate interference from nearby lines (partial frequencies).
- Depth and current measurement.
- Fully digital high-precision sampling processing: stable and reliable, ultra-high sensitivity, extremely narrow receiving pass band, strong anti-interference ability, fully suppressing the power frequency and harmonic interference of adjacent running cables and pipelines.
- Running cable detection: high-performance transmitting calipers, coupling and outputting signals to the running cable to the greatest extent.
- Identification of cable/pipeline: the caliper (optional accessory) is convenient and easy to use, and the identification result is clearly given; it can be used when the caliper is inconvenient to use.
- Ground fault finding: use the A-frame (optional) to locate the damaged point of the pipeline to the ground insulation, and the arrow indicates the direction of the fault point.
- Multiple detection frequencies: active detection and passive detection.
- Multiple signal output modes of the transmitter: direct connection output, clamp coupling, and induction.
