RD7100 and RD8100 Cable, pipe and RF Marker locators

Products to Locate, Track and Map buried assets Radiodetection’s new ranges of precision cable, pipe and radio frequency marker locators build on the high-performance and advanced features of the existing RD7100 and RD8100 platforms. They add the ability to detect RF utility markers, also known as EMS or Omnimarkers.

Key features

  • Detect all commonly used RF utility markers with automatic depth estimation for faster, accurate surveys.
  • RD Map™ cell-phone app for the real time* creation of detailed buried utility maps.
  • Combined mode to scan simultaneously for cables, pipes and RF markers reducing surveying time.
  • Current Direction™ to help identify the target amongst a number of parallel utilities by applying a specialized CD signal.
  • Simultaneous depth and current readings, enabling faster surveys.
  • Bluetooth connectivity as standard to interface to external devices and GIS systems.
  • Integrated GPS option provides an easy interface to mapping databases and survey validation.
    Power Filters™ can pinpoint and discriminate between multiple power cables by exploiting their harmonic properties.
  • High contrast screen and weatherproof (IP65) construction for operation in almost any environment.
  • Light weight and ergonomic design allow prolonged usage.
  • Screen and operations common across Radiodetection’s Precision Locator ranges minimizing changes in working practice and re-training needs.
  • Integral logging system records significant locate parameters every second (including positional data for GPS models) storing up to 1 year of typical usage data.
  • USB connectivity to quickly retrieve internal logs or to perform setup, validate or upgrade operations using the RD Manager™ PC software.
  • Built-in Li-Ion rechargeable batteries as standard for extended battery life and cost effective operation.
