vLoc3-Pro Pipeline & Cable Locator
Technical Datasheet

Overview

A professional locator for buried pipes, cables and conduits. Twin shielded 3D antennas measure accurately even in distorted signal areas, and distortion is shown instantly with green-blue-red signal bars so the operator knows when a reading can be trusted. Locating modes cover classic peak locating, 3D guidance, plan view and sonde tracing; with the optional A-frame the vLoc3-Pro pinpoints cable sheath faults, and a stethoscope accessory identifies individual cables in congested areas.

  • Instant distortion warning — green / blue / red interference indication
  • 3D guidance mode: full-screen automatic display, traffic-light simplicity
  • One-key measure-all; fully automatic self-test and calibration
  • Preferred choice for PE pipe path tracing in sonde mode
  • 50 million data points — export to xls, txt, shp, kml
