RD8200G Cable and Pipe Locator with GPS Function

RD8200G Cable and Pipe Locator with GPS Function
Precision locating device for the fast and safe detection of buried infrastructure.

The most advanced RD8200G™ locator series is based on over 45 years of Radiodetection development tradition: performance, quality, and reliability. With its unique arrangement of five specially designed, precision-machined antennas, it enables you to choose the optimal level of accuracy for each task.
With increasing infrastructure complexity, locating professionals require more powerful and flexible tools. Features such as Current Direction (CD) and iLOC, combined with the versatile Tx transmitter series, provide highly responsive locating even under the most challenging conditions.

The built-in GPS receiver provides a standard positional accuracy of approx. ± 2.5 m. All major satellite systems are queried. For the regions Austria, Switzerland, and Germany we are evaluating an even more precise signal representation (currently under development).

Specifically developed for applications in dense infrastructure environments where signals from high-voltage systems, substations, and cables can overlap and cause confusion. Dynamic Overload Protection reduces the impact of interference, while Power Filters™ determine whether a strong electrical signal originates from a single source or from a cluster of multiple cables.

Additionally, the receiver includes higher frequencies to locate high-impedance cables in tightly packed (paired) bundles, as well as sonde frequencies for tracing protective ducts and conduits. Higher frequencies can also be used to trace shielded cables without ground bonding. Furthermore, this receiver is suitable for locating signals from cathodic protection systems (CPS), which are specifically used in pipeline applications.

Faults on cable sheathing or earth-sensitive multi-core plastic cables can be located to within 4" (10 cm) using the 8 kHz sheath-fault locating method together with a Radiodetection frame antenna. Additionally, faults on CPS-protected pipelines can be located using the CDFF (Current Direction Sheath Fault) method.

Due to the high number of selectable locating frequencies, the receiver represents the most selective cable-locating solution on the market.

With four sonde frequencies, the receiver can be used to locate deep-lying pipelines made from various materials such as cast iron, clay, concrete, and brick.
