Goldak 902 Rycom Pipe Cable locator

Description

Megger 656902 split-box pipe and cable locator discovers the location and depth of underground pipes, cables, and wires and finds buried metallic masses. It has a transmitter that transmits a frequency into a buried pipe, cable, or wire, and a receiver that detects the transmitted frequency to trace the buried feature. In inductive location mode, the transmitter is not physically connected to the feature to be traced, enabling features to be traced if they are not exposed or if they are in areas with a low risk of interference from other buried features. In conductive location, the transmitter is physically connected to the buried feature, providing more accurate tracing of features than when using inductive location mode, particularly in areas where there is a high risk of interference from other buried features. The operator can choose between the transmitter's high or low signal strength settings to increase or decrease the strength of the signal output for more accurate locating. The operator can also choose between the receiver's high or low signal sensitivity settings to increase or decrease the receiver's sensitivity to the transmitted signal. The transmitter has a pulse setting that provides a pulsing signal to conserve battery life, improve detection when there is a weak signal, or distinguish the transmitted signal when there is interference in the area. The receiver's mass locating feature finds buried metallic masses, such as manholes and valve caps, without use of the transmitter. A light bar on the receiver indicates the strength of the detected signal, and a speaker on the receiver emits an audible tone that gets louder as the detected signal gets stronger. A level gauge on the receiver aids in determining the depth of the buried feature. The receiver and transmitter have a low battery indicator. A headphone jack on the receiver allows headphones (sold separately) to be used when working in quiet environments. The Megger 656902 split-box pipe and cable locator comes with a 3' direct connection cable with two copper clamps for connecting the transmitter to the buried pipe, cable, or wire to be traced. The included ground stake grounds the transmitter when it is directly connected to the buried fixture to help prevent damage to the transmitter and injury to the operator due to shock. The unit comes with a tote bag for transportation and storage.
