RD510 Water Pipe Locator & Standard and High Pressure Pulsed Water Transmitter Kits (4 & 10 bar)

Efficiently identify and locate subsurface water pipe leaks using a versatile, all-in-one device.

Water pipe leaks result in significant water loss, increased operational costs, and hinder sustainable water management practices. While plastic pipes offer a safe, strong, and flexible alternative to traditional materials, their non-metallic nature poses a challenge for locating them underground. This can complicate maintenance, repair, and replacement efforts, further impacting water infrastructure efficiency.

The RD510 Water Pipe Locator & Leak Detector solution is designed for maintenance and repair work, helping you pinpoint leaks with precision.

Locate and trace pipes over distances up to 45 meters*

PVC and plastic pipes are increasingly popular in water infrastructure as a safe, strong and flexible alternative. However, their non-metallic nature makes locating these underground pipes challenging.

Water pipe leaks lead to substantial water loss, increased operational costs, and undermine efforts to ensure sustainable water management and supply.

The RD510 Water Pipe & Leak Detector solution is designed for maintenance and repair work, helping you locate leaks with precision – up to 5 meters.*

Locate Leaks with Precision

The RD510 advanced sound detecting system enables accurate leak detection. The hand-held control unit and ground acoustic sensor work together to isolate and amplify leak sounds for accurate locating. Capable of detecting leaks up to 5 meters deep*, this system is both reliable and straightforward.

Simple 3-Step Locating Process

The RD510 features a highly sensitive acoustic sensor, making it efficient for locating and tracing plastic water pipes.

Here’s how it works:

1

Connect:

Tether the RD510 Pulsed Water Transmitter (PWT) to a fire hydrant, meter base or external tap.

2

Inject:

Send a traceable sound into the target pipe using the PWT.

3

Detect:

The RD510 display unit and ground acoustic sensor accurately detect and identify the pipe’s location up to 45 meters away.*

* Actual range will vary depending on the ground composition and pipe material.

User-Friendly Control

Easy-to-use, hand-held control unit with color touch screen.

High Sensitivity Microphone

Ground microphone with a telescopic pole for precise detection.

Comfortable Headset

Equipped with a standard audio jack for seamless audio clarity.

Versatile Metal Spike

Extends usability on soft ground conditions.

Noise Reduction

Band pass filter to minimize background noise interference.

Pulsed Water Transmitter

Provides a traceable pulse to the target pipe.

Adaptable

Pulsed Water Valves to suit most environments (4 or 10 bar).

* Actual range will vary depending on the ground composition and pipe material.
