Pipe & Cable Locator
Vivax-Metrotech develops and manufactures products for buried utility locating, fiber-optic cable locating, and mapping of buried utilities. Vivax-Metrotech has a vast range of products to accurately locate buried cables and pipes and inspect the interior condition of metallic and non-metallic sewer pipes. We also offer a range of specialized products for locating faults on cathodic protected pipelines, telecom and power cables. We give two product from Vivax Metrotech for utility detection: vLocPro2 and The Loc-150Tx.
- The vLocPro2 (VLP2) utility locator receiver was designed to meet the tough requirements of the modern world. With more and more utilities being buried each day and also abandoned each day, it truly is a jungle beneath the ground. Today’s locator must not only trace the path of a buried utility, it must assure the user that the locate is beyond the shadow accurate. The vLocPro2 (VLP2) is the tool that will give you the same results time after time with speed and, accuracy which leaves you confident in the decision to put the paint mark on the ground.
- The Loc-150Tx transmitter is designed to be powered from CP (Cathodic Protection) stations, AC or external batteries, eliminating the need for internal batteries. This transmitter has a direct connection mode to apply the locate frequency onto the conductor. The Loc-150Tx transmitter has selectable direct connection frequencies from 98Hz to 512Hz (640 Hz in Europe). The two inch by one-inch dot matrix display with LED backlight shows output current, volts, frequency, and over voltage/over temperature/over power warnings.
In collaboration with VIVAX METROTECH, we act as exclusive agents providing the instruments. Information about the product can be seen in the following brochure:
