Transmitter Enhancements

Feature Available On Description
Current Direction (CD) TX-10 Provides current direction (CD) signals to enable the locator to differentiate individual utilities.
iLOC remote control TX-10 iLOC is an advanced Bluetooth® link between compatible locators and transmitters, allowing control of the locate signal’s power and frequency from up to 450m away. Less time walking and more time locating.
SideStepauto TX-5 and TX-10 Automatically selects the best frequency to use based on the load impedance. Works only in direct connect mode.
Fault Find TX-5 and TX-10 Enables the use of an accessory A-Frame with a compatible locator to detect and pinpoint pipe coating and insulation faults, and cable sheath faults.
Boost TX-10 Sets the transmitter to output its maximum output power indefinitely or for a predefined period of time.
Maximum Voltage Selection TX-5 and TX-10 Allows the user to increase the voltage, and the current, output to a maximum of 90 Vrms.
Ingress Protection TX-5 and TX-10 IP65 – Shock resistant, ingress protected casing protects against knocks, drops, water and dust.
Lithium Ion battery pack option TX-5 and TX-10 Delivers extended run-time, lighter weight and superior cold-weather performance by comparison to standard alkaline batteries.

No need for operators to replace, manage and recycle alkaline battery cells, reducing the associated costs, workload and environmental burden.

Automatic impedance matching TX-5 and TX-10 Transmit your locate signal as far as possible by automatically matching the transmitter impedance to that of your target cable.
Eco Mode TX-5 and TX-10 Automatically reduces the output power to allow full depletion of the alkaline batteries. An audio and visual warning provides user feedback. Only available with alkaline batteries.
Power Selector TX-5 and TX-10 Restricts the power output of the transmitter to a predefined level.
Automatic overvoltage protection system TX-5 and TX-10 In the event of an erroneous direct connection to a high voltage line up to 250V, a warning symbol is displayed advising the operator to take action.

All specifications are measured in test conditions, at 21°C, and fitted with 2 × good quality alkaline batteries unless otherwise noted.
1 Based on volumetric testing at a known fixed depth. True depth accuracy depends on factors such as ground composition, utility characteristics and the locate frequency / signal strength employed. Always follow local safe digging guidelines.
2 The RD7200 will locate to greater depths in the right conditions, but depth accuracy will be compromised. Depth measurement will not be displayed beyond these depths.
3 Water projected by a nozzle at a pressure of 30kPa / 0.3 bar / 4.4 psi in accordance with BS EN 60529 1992 A2 2013.
4 At very low temperatures, battery life will be degraded and measurement precision may be reduced.

Advanced features such as Compass, TruDepth™ and a broad range of locating frequencies make the RD7200 the perfect choice for all industries.

 


Construction

Accurate and simple to use, the RD7200 comes with eight active and three passive frequencies that cover the majority of site locating tasks. A rugged, IP65 rated casing along with a high contrast screen make it suitable for use in all weather conditions.

Power

In complex power environments, with multiple signals from high voltage equipment and cables, Radiodetection’s Dynamic Overload Protection reduces the effect of interference and Power Filters can be used to trace a single target line amongst multiple cables.

Water and Pipeline

A wide choice of active frequencies allow conductive pipes to be traced for long distances.Where sondes or cameras are used to survey pipes made from a variety of materials, including cast iron, clay, fibre, concrete and brick, the four RD7200 sonde frequencies are ideal for quickly locating and tracing their position.

Pipes with Cathodic Protection System can be followed using the CPS passive mode. CPS compass mode ensures alignment with the target pipeline.

Telecom

The RD7200 features higher frequencies to locate high impedance lines and sonde frequencies for duct and conduit tracing. Higher frequencies can also be used to trace sheathed domestic cables without grounding connections.Cable sheath faults can be located to within 10 cm using 8 kHz Fault Find mode with a Radiodetection A-Frame
