Cable Locator / Line Tracer – Receiver

Our locator receivers support fast and safe utility locating in civil engineering and trenching works. They operate in passive modes (e.g. Power/RF) or in active locating together with a transmitter/signal generator, and provide clear readouts for an efficient workflow.

  • Depth display & direction guidance: identify the route, check depth, and confirm hits reliably
  • Peak/Null & compass: reliable antenna alignment and clear signal guidance
  • Field-ready: rugged design, intuitive operation, audible and visual feedback

What defines a capable receiver?

High sensitivity paired with smart signal processing. The receiver separates utility signals from noise, stabilizes depth readings and guides you along the route with confidence.

Key features

  • Modes: passive (mains/radio), active (with transmitter), sonde
  • Depth & current: depth measurement and current direction for positive identification
  • Guidance: left/right arrows, tone guidance
  • Processing: auto/manual gain, notch/band filters
  • Documentation: optional data logging, GPS, Bluetooth
  • Ergonomics: bright display, balanced weight, IP rating

Selection guide

  • Use case: route proving, service locating, fault response, pre-excavation checks
  • Frequency set: right mix of passive/active bands and sonde support
  • Accuracy: dependable depth/current at typical burial depths
  • Environment: filters & power to handle urban noise and multi-utility corridors
  • Workflow: display clarity, logging & connectivity

Pro tips

  • Scan in multiple modes before digging (passive & active)
  • Ensure a solid return path when using a transmitter
  • Trace in segments and document readings

FAQ

Receiver vs. full kit—what’s the difference?
The receiver is the locating instrument. A kit includes a transmitter and typically accessories.
Which frequency should I use?
Low (512/640 Hz) for deep/long lines; 8–9 kHz for mixed sites; 33 kHz for short or discontinuous conductors.
How accurate is depth?
Depends on signal quality, alignment and soil. Good coupling and correct settings increase accuracy.
Can I trace plastic pipes?
Only with tracer wire or a sonde. Plain plastic requires a sonde or a traceable rod.
