Follow the right trail using the new Locators from Radiodetection

Posted: Monday 5th October 2009
Following the successful launch of the RD8000 range of pipe and cable locators from Radiodetection in 2008, the company has seen more and more sales thanks to the innovative current direction (CD) feature.
Available on Radiodetection’s most advanced locator the RD8000PDL, CD
enables operators to trace and identify a target cable in highly
congested areas or when running parallel to other lines.
Radiodetection has developed and patented a unique method of
identifying a target cable amongst a number of parallel cables using
CD direction arrows. A signal is applied to the target line using
Radiodetection’s Tx-10 signal transmitter and the RD8000 hand held
receiver shows the direction of the current flow on the line. The
target line can be identified if the receiver display arrow shows that
the current is flowing away from the point of application of the
transmitter signal. The incorporation of CD is a great step forward as
not only does it significantly improve locate accuracy but also gives
the operator increased confidence that they are locating the correct
pipe or cable. This unique feature saves both time and money, with
operators eliminating wasted time following faulty trails enabling
them to carry out a job efficiently and cost-effectively.
The RD8000 represents Radiodetection’s continuing development and
improvement of pipe and cable location systems, providing the broadest
range and choice for any user.
