The GA-52Cx Locator detects the magnetic field of iron and steel objects, with unmatched sensitivity.
Only two Controls! Designed for one-hand operations, the On/Off-Sensitivity and Volume controls are located on the underside of the cover. This provides easy access, protects the knobs and contributes to their overall ruggedness and dependability.

One of the most physically rugged Magnetic Locators, constructed to work in the most severe climates and operating environments, the GA-52Cx has established itself over the last 25 years as the “go to” Magnetic Locator for fast, accurate detection.
Industry-leading detection technology, plus simple rotary controls, provide precise adjustment for audio and sensitivity, allowing better discrimination between buried objects.
For safe locating, they have a power detection “warble”, which indicates the presence of nearby live power conductors.
The GA-52Cx is built with a metal housing providing a robust industrial tool, with clear audio indication of buried ferrous objects. It offers swift, accurate locating and its simple controls require minimal training.
High Sensitivity with 5 Levels
Our HeliFlux sensors provide high sensitivity, allowing Schonstedt products to detect objects down to a depth of 5.5 m / 18 ft.
Speaker Audio Output + Headphones
Approximately 40 Hz idle tone in speaker. Tone frequency increases or decreases with gradient-field intensity.
No Response to Aluminum, Brass, or Copper
Eliminates false locates.
HeliFlux™ Sensors
Schonstedt’s unique HeliFlux magnetic field sensors provide much higher sensitivity than the standard ring core sensors used by most competitors, giving users a clear advantage when searching for deeply buried objects and pinpointing their exact shape.
Modular Construction with High Performance Components
The design and construction of Schonstedt magnetic locators deliver a rare combination of high performance, ruggedness, and straightforward maintenance and repair, helping reduce the total cost of ownership.
Hard Case
Protects the locator from knocks and scrapes when not in use or stored in equipment vans or trucks.
7-Year Warranty
Users of Schonstedt products can be confident in the low total cost of ownership because they are supported by a 7-year warranty. Some competitors offer 2 years or more, but most only provide 1-year coverage.
