optical & cable locator

Our optical & cable locators scan the ground and use radio frequency signal to locate those under ground telecom lines, fibers,

Our optical & cable locators scan the ground and use radio frequency signal to locate those under ground telecom lines, fibers, CATV, power cable, gas pipes, etc. The TAM3000 locator consists of two basic units: a directional radio frequency Transmitter and a Receiver. We utilize the principle of electromagnetism. The electromagnetic method is a well-test and most popular method in underground utility survey Function:  To detect underground cable/pipe /position and depth; to locate position of hidden cable/pipe.

Main Features

	Benefits
Transmitter
Four operator-selectable frequencies	Optimizes unit performance in varying conditions
Simultaneous signals	Enables receiver to verify cable location
Built-in ohmmeter with voltage sensing/measuring capability	Displays earth fault resistance; confirms far-end grounds and shield continuity
Three signal application methods (direct connect, coupler, induction)	Flexibility under varying plant conditions
Auto load matching	Automatic adjustment of output voltage to maximize signal
High and normal output level	High output level for extreme distance locates and other varying cable conditions
Audible indication of hazardous voltage in ohms mode	Warns operator of potentially dangerous situation
Can connect to energized power cables up to 220 Vac	Prevents inadvertent damage to unit; operates while attached to live circuits
Receiver
Peak and null modes	Verify cable location
Differential mode	Indicates direction to cable
Push-button digital depth readout (of cable or sonde) in centimeters, inches, or feet and inches	Easy, quick and accurate depth measurements; no conversion table required for sonde depth measurements
Measures signal current in cable	Helps identify target cable regardless of depth
Visual and audible cable locates	Ensure accuracy under varying field conditions
Digital fault strength indicator	Operator can differentiate between light and severe faults
Coupler jack	Pair/cable identification
Graphic display	Operator can distinguish between target cable and other cables in congested areas
Expander function	Improves sensitivity of audible and visual response
50/60 Hz passive power and passive VLF mode	Locates cables using receiver only
