Cable locator RD500-Tx

pipe

is an effective instrument for locating and tracing buried plastic and/or concrete water pipes. The RD500 traces plastic water pipes over distances up to 150 metres from the point of application of a Pulse Transmitter. The unit is low cost, quick and easy to use. Operators can learn to locate and trace water pipes with the RD500 in just a few minutes. Simple operation - a meter deflects on the locator showing pick-up of the vibrations on the water pipe No disruption of services while locating Audible and visual tracing indicator Available with variable power Mechanical Pulse transmitters and /or RD500-TX Electronic Pulse Transmitter Distances up to 150 metres may be traced Locate up to 2 metre depth Optional RD500-TX Electronic Pulse Transmitter for low pressure domestic water supplies Supplied with all connection hoses and fittings for standpipes As more and more of the old metal water supply infrastructure fails and is replaced by plastic pipes when repairing leaks or laying new supplies, it has highlighted the need for specific tools to help with acute problems. With increasing commercial pressures to maintain water supplies, it is vitally important to be able to locate buried plastic pipes as fast as possible to facilitate swift and timely repairs. The RD500 is a simple to use solution for water utility engineers to locate and trace plastic pipes. How does the RD500 help find plastic pipes? Conventional Pipe and Cable locators trace electromagnetic signals ravelling on metal pipes and cables. Those signals don’t travel on plastic. The RD500 however generates acoustic signals, which travel down the plastic pipes as vibrations.
