PL-VF10R

Pipe and Cable Locator with Variable Frequencies, Li-Ion Batteries and a 10W Maximum Power Output

Simple, accurate and affordable, the PL-VF10R Locating System will meet the demands of any locate task. This locator is designed for the locating professional, but it is simple enough to be used by anyone needing to locate. The PL-VF10R Locating System is adaptable; frequencies and operational modes may be added or deleted on demand to suit the user’s locating needs.Our innovative technology creates a remote link between the transmitter and receiver. Users can control the transmitter’s output power and frequency right from the hand-held receiver, eliminating the back and forth walking between devices. A large, high-contrast LCD offers clearly visible signal response in any lighting. Automatic depth, automatic current, and proximal directional arrows are readable in the brightest sunshine or back-lit for viewing in dimmer conditions. Whether the locate is measured in feet or miles, 5* or 10* watts of power and automatic impedance matching from 5 ohms to 25,000 ohms, ensures adequate signal. The PL-VF10R Locating System is a must have for anyone needing a simple and accurate locator.

Standard Frequencies: 512 Hz, 815 Hz, 8khz, 33kHz, 65kHz, 82kHz, 200kHz and 480kHz.
