Key Features & Benefits
✅ Integrated GPS and Usage Logging
Built-in GPS receiver provides accurate geolocation data for every locate.
Internal data logging captures over 1 year of usage history, allowing for audits, compliance checks, and workforce performance evaluation.
✅ Precise Signal Identification (SI)
Advanced Signal Select and Current Direction (CD) features allow users to confidently trace the correct utility in congested areas, reducing the risk of mislocates.
✅ Multi-Frequency Operation
Supports a wide range of active frequencies up to 200kHz, enabling effective detection of both high-resistance telecom cables and low-frequency power lines.
Passive modes for detecting live power, radio, and cathodic protection (CP) signals.
✅ iLOC™ Remote Transmitter Control
Seamlessly adjust transmitter settings (frequency, output power, and more) from the receiver, increasing operational efficiency, especially in large-scale or one-person jobs.
✅ StrikeAlert™ Safety System
Audible and visual alerts notify the user when the locator approaches shallow cables, significantly reducing the risk of striking live or shallow utilities.
✅ TruDepth™ and Compass Orientation
Depth and signal current measurements are shown only when the locator is correctly oriented, ensuring accurate and reliable readings.
Real-time compass display makes utility tracking intuitive and faster.
