Home » Cable & Pipe Locators » Cable Locators   1 Easy RD7000 Locator Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locates for cable or pipes.  The RD7000 is simple and affordable for any application with several groundbreaking features that deliver accurate, reliable and repeatable measurements. The RD7000 is ergonomically designed to deliver a superior performing locator that provides the user with a light weight, energy efficient and exceptionally well balanced tool. Peak Distance Arrows: is an intuitive tool that guides an operator to the central axis of the pipe or cable by presenting dynamic left and right arrows and differentiated audio tones. The longer the arrow, the further the distance from target. Choose from three transmitter models providing 1, 3 and 10 Watt output. They have programmable direct connect and induction frequencies up to 200kHz. Each Tx delivers a constant current across the entire spectrum and has a high voltage mode for high impedance environments. Additional receiver features Power and Radio passive modes 50Hz to 200kHz frequency range Null (dependent on model) Real sound TruDepth - Auto depth StrikeAlert Depth on power (dependent on model) Fault Find (dependent on model) Dynamic overload protection (dependent on model) Autogain with manual control All settings saved on power down 3 Year Warranty View Our Online RD7000 & RD8000 Demonstration DL MODEL - ENTRY LEVEL For contract technicians working in pipe location and inspection, from sewers to maritime boilers, to petrochemical plants. The RD7000DL locator is specifically designed to detect not only active and passive frequencies but also three different sonde signals. It has the three most common frequencies for locating any pipe, cable or sonde. This makes the DL the ideal product for standard cable and pipe location and the ideal solution for locating deep, underground water pipes and drains and where the pipe material does not allow the use of standard locating technology. The user can quickly and accurately locate the pipe or cable using peak/distance arrows (with dynamic audio to indicate the user's location relative to the cable). The different sonde frequencies allow the RD7000DL to locate pipes made from a wide variety of materials including: cast iron, plastic (PE), clay, fiber, concrete and brick. RD7000DL Receiver Power Mode Radio Mode 512kHz (LF) 8kHz 33kHz Sonde frequencies 512Hz, 8kHz, 33kHz TruDepth Peak/Distance Arrows StrikeAlert Centros eCAL PL MODEL - ADVANCED The RD7000PL identifies the target cable reliably, even in complex electrical networks. One of the biggest challenges to utility technicians is locating pipes and cables when operating near high voltage environments, such as substations and conduits where the presence of large signals overpower most locators. The RD7000PL is designed for use in areas where excessive magnetic fields, generated by high voltage equipment and cables, can prevent accurate locating. Dynamic overload protection reduces this effect, allowing un-compromised locator accuracy. In addition, the RD7000PL can indicate depth in Power mode. This is particularly useful when direct connection of a transmitter to a power cable may be hazardous or impractical. To further assist the operator to locate cable sheath faults, 8KFF is a patented technique that locates a cable fault using an A-frame attached to the Locator. On-screen arrows help show the fault's direction and help the operator locate the fault accurately to within one meter.  Technicians can utililize the 33kHz Sonde mode to locate empty duct or pipe. RD7000PL Receiver Power Mode Radio Mode 512kHz (LF) 8kHz 33kHz 65kHz 33kHz Sonde Mode TruDepth Peak/Distance Arrows StrikeAlert Centros eCAL Depth on Power Mode Null Mode 8kHz Fault Find Dynamic Overload Protection TRANSMITTERS The Radiodetection transmitters supports the entire range of Radiodetection RD7000 receivers.  The Tx-1 is a low power transmitter. The Tx-3 has a higher current and induction capability as well as Fault Find. The Tx-10 has the highest current capability with both Fault Find and CD modes as standard. All models feature a patented three-stage phase sensitive amplifier that delivers a ground-impedance compensated, constant current across its entire bandwidth in either direct connect, clamp or inductive mode. The transmitters use less power and are ergonomically designed to deliver superior performance in a new light-weight, well-balanced case. A large, high contrast, backlit LCD screen provides the user with clear information. The interface is intuitive and responsive, allowing the operator to access any feature with ease. All models are compatible with the complete range of RD7000 frequencies in both inductive and direct connect modes. The transmitters use 8 D-cell batteries and can be powered from a vehicle using a 12V cable plug (it is recommended that an approved Radiodetection isolation transformer is used). As an additional feature, each model has a multimeter function providing measurement of line voltage, current and impedance.

8 Product Reviews - Average rating 8.6 (Show All) Click to review this product RD7000 Works Great NKC, MO - 1/23/2010 We believe our new RD7000 out performs all of the other locators we have used before. ? Brian - 1/12/2010 The locator is working great... I.F. scott - 1/8/2010 great locator,sure likes its batteries though.I just bought the rechargeable pack. ok Bruce - 1/7/2010 we don't use the locator too much in the winter, thanks for working with us.. Easy RD7000 Jlewis - 1/1/2010 ONe of the easier locators to use Good. 8000 model better Locator - 10/24/2008 I have been using the DL model and wish I had spent the extra money for the 8000 with Bluetooth. I get tried of walking back to the transmitter. Click to review this product
