The new package from Radiodetection comes with a CD function that improves locator accuracy and means that the user locates the correct pipe or cable, saving time and money eliminating wasted time following faulty trails
Improved underground utility location capabilities are claimed for the improved unit from 2537 Radiodetection, This new unit is a development of the RD8000 range of pipe and cable locators introduced by Radiodetection in 2008 and offers the addition of an innovative current direction (CD) feature. This is available on Radiodetection's most advanced locator the RD8000PDL and allows a user to trace and identify a target cable in highly congested areas or when running parallel to other lines.
The firm has developed a novel method for 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 transmitter signal.
