u-Locate Receiver

Features:Automatic and manual gain. The u-LOCATE receiver has the ability to operate in an automatic or manual gain mode. In the automatic gain mode, the sensitivity of the receiver is adjusted automatically, based on the strength of the detected signal, to produce a relatively constant and strong signal strength indication. In the manual gain mode, the user can adjust the sensitivity up or down to suit different locating scenarios.Directional indication. The u-LOCATE receiver is equipped with directional indicators (arrows). These visual indicators help the user locate the pipe or cable by showing which direction he/she should move in order to get closer to the target.Depth measurement. The u-LOCATE receiver has the ability to measure the approximate depth of the target pipe or cable being traced. When a depth measurement is made, the bottom tip of the receiver must be touching the ground. Depth measurements should only be made when the directional indication shows both arrows and the center bar. Special considerations are required for the Sonde mode. To measure depth, simply place the tip of the unit on the ground and press the button when the signal strength is at a peak. The achievable depth depends on a number of factors, but typically it is possible to read depth up to 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to 4.2 m).Controls. The u-LOCATE Receiver controls are designed to be intuitive and require a minimum of training for effective use. The receiver can easily be operated with one hand.Single frequency locator with passive mode and depth. u-LOCATE allows you to quickly and accurately locate underground utilities, helping prevent costly damages, utility strikes, and service outages.
