Pipe and Cable locators

Cable and Pipe lasers are essential to have on a construction sight. Health and Safety authorities all over the world advise that before undertaking any kind of excavation, operators should first scan an area with a Cable Avoidance Tool. Even with this advice, site workers are still injured and killed due to inadvertently striking buried cables. SubSurface Instruments makes an incredible Pipe and Cable Locator that can avoid these injuries called the PL-2000 Series. With the PL-2000 Series, operators can locate, trace and mark underground services quickly, precisely and reliably prior to excavation.
The PL-2000 Series Pipe and Cable Locator detects power signals and charges. It can locate power signals radiated by energized cables or it can trace signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These radio signals penetrate the ground and are reradiated by buried metallic cables and pipes. It can detect anything that has a signal or charge such as electrical power cables, cable lines, telephone lines, power lines, water lines, tracer lines and anything that had a metallic conductor.
The PL-2000 Series Cable and Pipe Locator offers a new approach in high power, low frequency locating. With three active frequencies (at a nominal 512 Hz, 8kHz, and 27 kHz), two passive frequencies (at the 50/60 cycle flowing AC current, and Radio in the 14 kHz - 25 kHz), four modes of operation, and both inductive and direct connection capabilities, the PL-2000 is powerful and versatile, but still surprisingly easy to use and cost effective.
The four different operating modes that the lightweight, balanced receiver offers are Peak, Null, Dist, and Sonde. Peak mode is for the most accurate locates and for depth measurement. Null mode is for fast, easy tracking. Dist mode is for even longer distances and Sonde mode is for locating sewer Sondes and measuring their depths. The PL-2000 Series is designed to help avoid damage to underground services during excavation, injuries to on site workers, as well as make the job easier and simpler for the personnel.
