PL-2000
Durable utility, pipe and cable locator with three signal options.
Durable utility, pipe and cable locator with three signal options.
The PL-2000 multifrequency pipe and cable locator is a very durable unit that is a work of art in its simplicity of use and sophistication of operation. It is unique in that it offers four modes: peak, null, distance and sonde. Plus, it’s a workhorse, offering three active frequencies, two passive frequencies, four modes of operation and both inductive and direct connection capabilities. And all its components are housed in a well-protected, lightweight and easy-to-use design.
Key Features
- PL-2000 transmitter has 3.0 watts power output in the Direct Connection mode; allowing locates for much longer distances.
- The lightweight, balanced receiver offers four different operating modes “Peak” mode – for the most accurate locates and for depth measurement “Null” mode – for fast, easy tracking (also indicates “left” or “right”) “Dist” mode – for even longer distances – up to 50 percent farther “Sonde” mode – for locating sewer Sondes and measuring their depths. Any 512 Hz/8 kHz will be detected.
- Three “active” frequencies at a nominal 0.5 kHz, 8 kHz and 27 kHz, plus two “passive” frequencies – the 50/60 power and radio passive
- Select the “Mix” mode at the transmitter and transmit all active frequencies simultaneously in the “Direct Connect” mode
- Detects and reports “poor ground” conductivity at the transmitter in Direct Connection
- Current measurement in the “Depth” function can verify you are tracing the correct line in congested utilities
- “Auto Off” functions in both the transmitter & receiver shut off their operations after a user defined time period of non-use
- Padded carrying case
- Optional Equipment for PL-2000 Direct Inductive Clamp – Induce signal directly onto target line through insulation, paint, etc. – up to 4″ diameter Sonde (mini-transmitter) – 8 kHz – Flush, push, pull through non-metallic pipe – works with PL-2000 receiver. Traces through sewer pipe, water lines, etc. that are plastic, concrete, vinyl, clay, etc. Self-contained – On/Off toggle switch, indicator LED, lanyard attach loop & threaded to receive plumber’s snake.
