Locating specific pipes and cables in large underground networks is becoming increasingly complex. Ground distortion effects, caused by differing soil types and proximity to other conductors, make the operator’s job more difficult and time-consuming. The most important requirements for a locator under these circumstances are ease of use, accuracy and reliability. Radiodetection’s RD7000 addresses this need with several groundbreaking features that deliver accurate, reliable and repeatable measurements.
The new RD7000 range of locators are powerful successors to the industry standard RD4000 SL, TL, PL and DL family. RD7000 delivers exceptional performance in areas of interference.
TL Option
Telecom Industry
Large bundled pairs of cables require specialized location equipment to find a selected signal.
As the Telecommunication utilities continue to deploy highly insulated copper or fiber cables, tracing bundled cables becomes harder. The RD7000TL has additional high frequencies to help address this problem.
Most domestic telecom cables have no earth but are sheathed; using high frequencies allows tracing without needing to ground connections. Once the correct pipe or cable is located, the operator can accurately locate any cable sheath faults to within one meter using 8KFF mode with a Radiodetection A-Frame.
The RD7000TL has both Peak and Null modes and also a combined Peak/Null mode which allows the identification of Signal/ground distortion effects by displaying both Peak and Null response simultaneously.
The addition of two sonde frequencies adds more capability and flexibility.
