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.

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.
