Overview

The vLoc3-5000 utility locator brings an innovative element of digital signal processing, position capturing and broadband frequency selection to buried utility locating. Data captured by the internal GPS or external GPS via Bluetooth can be downloaded for further analysis, use with GIS systems or google maps. Use the free VM-MAP smartphone application to create real-time maps with GPS data and data from the locator such as time, date, depth of cover, current on the line, and add custom comments to each entry.

With two sets of screened 3D antennas signal distortion is easily detected and displayed on the bright full color display. Along with classic locate screens the vLoc3-5000 locator offers new locate perspective screens of Vector Locate for fully automatic non-walk over locating, Transverse Graph showing both peak and null simultaneously providing immediate measurement of signal distortion, Plan View showing the relative orientation of the cable at any angle, and a new graphical Sonde screen with guidance arrows leading to the sonde location even when it is vertical.

The highly user configurable vLoc3-5000 contains eight passive locate modes, fault-find mode, SD (showing direction of outgoing current), Signal Select™ real-time measurement of signal bleed-over caused by capacitive or inductive coupling to other utilities, and a range of configurable frequencies from 98Hz to 200 kHz. Audio and mechanical vibration alerts can also be configured by the user providing warnings for shallow depth, overload, overhead cables, and excessive swinging. Plug-in-play options for the receiver include optional Bluetooth module useable with external GPS devices and EMS foot to locate buried markers.

 

The Loc3-10SiSTx 10-watt broadband transmitter has selectable induction frequencies from 98Hz to 200kHz and direct-connect frequencies from 98Hz to 200kHz. SD (Signal Direction), fault find and true resistance measurement up to 1 Mohm are all standard.

The Loc3-10SiSTx 10-watt broadband transmitter provides full support for the new Signal Select and Distortion Alert line ID features available when used with the vLoc3-5000 receiver.
