Arrows:  Left and right arrows grow longer the farther from the underground pipe or cable and a variable tone that is different on side.  Display of peak and null at the same time make verifying locate accuracy faster and easier. 

 

Cable Direction Display: The RD8000 displays a line parallel to the pipe or cable for easier and faster locating especially at bends.

 

Centros™
• Over 50 software and hardware patents
• High-performance processor core runs new,  innovative algorithms. 
• Improves the accuracy and repeatability of measurements

• Powerful signal filtering and analysis e
ven in the most electrically noisy environments.

 

Remote Control:  ILOC™ The Radiodetection RD8000 cable and pipe locator remotely controls the frequency and output level of the Tx-3B or Tx-10B locator transmitters with advanced Bluetoothฎ link from 1/3 mile. Integrates easily with GPS for quick data collection to update utility maps. 

 

SurveyCERT™: Store and review up to 1000 locate records that can include GPS data for quick GIS updates to correct or create utility maps.

eCAL™: Validate the original factory calibration of the RD8000 and  RD7000 underground  locators and print certificates without returning it. 

TruDepth™: Automatically displays accurate depth readings within 2.5% of depth when correctly oriented and directly above the pipe or cable preventing errors. 

Dynamic Overload Protection: Filters out unwanted cable locator signals in extreme conditions such as substations.

StrikeAlert: Warns of nearby power cables.

Passive Avoidance: Simultaneous power and radio signal detection on underground pipes and cables with real audio to differentiate the relative proportions or each signal.

Light weight and well balanced – 28% lighter thn industry standard RD4000 cable and pipe locator.  (If you place your finger in center of the handle, the RD7000 and RD8000 pipe and cable locators balance vertically which promotes more accurate locating and the comfort of locator operator.)

Improved Display: Large, high contrast, automatic backlit LCD screen on both the transmitters and receivers.

Fault Find:  Patented technique with arrows that point towards the ground fault from anywhere near the fault.

Current Direction: Simple patented identification tool with arrows that point forward when near the target utility and backwards when near all others utilities.

Single Peak Antenna mode for greater sensitivity.

Choice of batteries:  Powered by two NiMh rechargeable or alkaline D-cell batteries with a life of 30 hours.

Peak and Null Antennas for locate accuracy verification. 

USB Port: Upgrade your RD8000 or RD7000 underground cable and pipe locator without sending it in.

Withstands Water spray all directions and dust - (IP54) you can operate it in nearly any environment.

The RD7000 and RD8000 utility locators include English, Turkish, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish, Slo, CZ, Polish, NL, German, French language.
