Description

Tx-10B Transmitter
The Tx family of signal transmitters is based on a fully digital platform and was developed to complement Radiodetection’s advanced precision locators, including the RD7000, RD7100, RD8000 and RD8100 series. The Tx series was designed to meet the requirements for locating and tracing utility lines in today’s complex underground infrastructure. The transmitter series features locating frequencies compatible with all series of Radiodetection precision locators and can be easily matched to the receiver of your choice using the “Model” function. All transmitters maintain constant current across their entire range in all modes (galvanic connection, clamp or induction mode) and provide on-site convenience with IP65 protection, a removable accessory storage compartment, and a large, high-contrast LCD screen with backlight.

Available Transmission Methods

INDUCTIVE

The Tx transmitter has an internal antenna that induces a signal onto the line(s) located directly beneath the device. This is useful when the line is not directly accessible. Typically, the induction mode is effective only up to a depth of 2 m. Note that the induction mode couples its signal indiscriminately to all conductors within its transmission range.

DIRECT (galvanic) connection

Direct connection is an effective method to apply the Tx locating signal onto a specific cable or pipe network so it can be traced above ground. The connection can be made to any metallic part of the cable or pipe, such as valves, meters, distribution points, street lamps, pipeline markers, or other access points.

 

APPLICATIONS

Tx-1 Transmitter
The Tx-1 is a low-power signal transmitter.

Tx-5 Transmitter
The Tx-5 provides higher power and greater induction capability as well as Fault Find (sheath fault location).

Tx-10 Transmitter
The Tx-10 has the highest output power and includes Fault Find (sheath fault location) and CD (Current Direction) mode as standard.

Peak+™ mode
Accuracy combined with speed

iLOC remote control
iLOC is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8100 receiver and transmitter, allowing you to adjust the amplitude and frequency of the locating signal from a distance of up to 450 m/1400 ft. Less walking time, more locating time.

90V maximum output voltage
A high output voltage ensures that you can receive locatable signals even from high-impedance lines such as (twisted-pair) telecommunications lines (TP).

Automatic impedance matching
Drive your locating signal as far as possible by automatically matching the transmitter impedance to that of your target conductor.

Fault Find (sheath fault location)
Use a Fault Find signal with Tx-5 and Tx-10 transmitters and an A-Frame antenna (accessory) to detect and precisely locate sheath or insulation faults.

Multimeter function
Measure output voltage, line voltage, current, impedance and output power to characterize faults on the target line before you begin tracing.

SideStepauto™
The transmitter can suggest a commonly used locating frequency for the intended locating task by measuring the impedance of the target cable or pipeline. SideStepAuto helps improve accuracy and extends battery life.

ECO mode
Extend alkaline battery life by enabling ECO mode. When a low battery level is detected, the transmitter gradually reduces output power and provides audible and visual warnings.
