Designed for Geophysical Survey Contractors & Utility Locating Service Providers. The XHGX507C1 is a multi-frequency intelligent integrated cable and pipeline locator purpose-built for the professional survey teams who are contracted to map, verify, and document underground utility infrastructure before excavation, construction, or infrastructure development.
The XHGX507C1 Multi-Frequency Intelligent Integrated Cable Path Tester delivers the precision, range, and documentation capability demanded by professional utility locating service providers. Whether executing a full-site utility survey for a pre-construction due diligence package, mapping undocumented legacy pipelines for GIS database population, or verifying the precise depth and route of a single critical cable before directional drilling, the instrument provides the measurement certainty that survey reports and legal compliance require. With 11 active detection frequencies from 640Hz to 197kHz, three signal injection methods, and a comprehensive detection range of 20km, the XHGX507C1 is field-ready for the broadest spectrum of utility locating assignments — from congested urban intersections with dozens of overlapping utilities to remote cross-country pipeline corridor verification.

12-month free warranty against product quality defects from date of purchase. Lifetime technical support services. Each XHGX507C1 ships complete with: transmitter host, receiver, transmitter coupling clamp (Φ125mm), flexible identification Rogowski coil (Φ200mm), direct-connection test lead set (3m), AC charger (100–240V), user manual, and rugged integrated toolbox transport case.
Operational Note: Transmitter outputs up to 300V in direct-connection mode — operators must not touch output clamps or target pipelines during operation. Always verify de-energized status before direct connection to any cable. For live cable identification, use the coupling clamp method exclusively.

Q: Why does the XHGX507C1 offer 11 frequencies and how do I choose the right one?
The 11-frequency capability is designed to handle diverse field conditions. Lower frequencies (LF range) provide longer tracing distance with minimal signal bleed to adjacent utilities—ideal for primary route tracing. Higher frequencies (RF range) penetrate high-resistance connections and poor grounding conditions. Intermediate frequencies balance detection range with signal clarity. The manual provides a frequency selection guide, and experienced operators develop preferences based on local soil and infrastructure conditions.
Q: What is the advantage of having 11 frequency options versus standard 2-3 frequencies?
More frequency options mean greater flexibility when encountering challenging field conditions. Dense urban utility corridors with overlapping cables, varying soil conductivity, different pipe materials, and proximity to high-voltage lines each respond differently to different frequencies. The 11-frequency selection gives operators the ability to find the optimal signal for each specific site condition, reducing survey time and improving accuracy.
Q: How does the instrument handle mixed utility surveys (power + telecom + water)?
The XHGX507C1's multi-frequency capability excels in mixed utility environments. Operators can use different frequencies for different utility types during the same survey—for example, a lower frequency for deep power cables and a higher frequency for shallow telecom lines, with the built-in 50Hz passive mode providing immediate identification of energized power cables without any transmitter setup.
Q: What battery performance can I expect during a full survey day?
The receiver provides 8+ hours of continuous operation with 16+ hours standby on a single charge. The transmitter runtime (4-8 hours) varies based on selected frequency and output power. For full-day surveys, carrying a spare charged battery or charging during lunch breaks ensures uninterrupted operation. Both units use standard 7.4V rechargeable lithium batteries.
Q: What warranty and support is provided?
12-month standard warranty against manufacturing defects with lifetime technical support. CE and ISO 9001:2015 certified. Complete kit includes receiver, transmitter, connection cables, coupling clamp, ground rod, rechargeable batteries, chargers, user manual, and rugged transport case. On-site training programs and extended warranty plans are available for utility organizations.
