Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locate data very time. enabled
The RD8000 is the most powerful and accurate locator packages in the
industry, replacing the standard RD4000 pipe and cable locators. The RD8000
improves on speed, accuracy and reliability yet remains a cost-effective
solution for any application delivering unique user features. Designed with the
latest, patented digital firmware, RD8000 delivers a highly controllable and
reliable locate solution to service any industry, anywhere in the world.
iLOC is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8000
locator and transmitter that helps save the operator time and effort. iLOC
allows the operator to control the transmitter remotely. With iLOC you can
spend less time walking and more time locating. iLOC operates at
distances up to 800 feet line of sight providing an operator with a fast
and unique means of conducting a survey. iLOC applications include:
Frequency Select - choose an active frequency on the RD8000 and
synchronously change the transmitter frequency to match.
Power Management - an operator can adjust the output power of the
transmitter to optimize output signal, leading to efficient use of
transmitter batteries. Enter standby mode to prolong battery life when
your locate is complete. Conveniently wake the transmitter with a
simple key press on the receiver.
Sidestep - enables an operator to move the transmitter frequency
slightly above the selected frequency enabling locates in areas prone
to interference or where multiple operators are locating.
SurveyCERT gives the operator the tools to pass survey
information to third-party applications for audit, analysis and reporting.
With the RD8000, the operator can store and review up to 1000 locate
records. Upload this information to a PDA or PC using the RD8000 Bluetooth
connection and you can instantly view the data using the SurveyCERT
graph program. If the PC/PDA has a GPS receiver, SurveyCERT will
automatically add the timestamp and position to the record. Built for
interoperability, SurveyCERT'" data is compatible with commercial
Geographical Information System (GIS) package.
Each RD8000 receiver is equipped with a Compass that
provides the operator with a visual indication of
the target cable or pipes direction. With this feature, the operator can
easily follow the target line and then position the locator correctly to
maximize depth accuracy. Each receiver also has Peak distance arrows
that help guide the user into the target line.
eCAL is a novel Radiodetection technique that allows the
operator to validate the original factory calibration of the RD8000. This
means the operator has confidence that the locator continues to meet its
factory calibration. eCAL can issue and print a validation certificate
without needing to return the RD8000 to a service center. Each unit
also has TruDepth, which gives the operator the confidence that the depth
reading is accurate by only indicating a locate depth when the locator is
correctly oriented directly above the pipe/cable.
Dynamic Overload Protection: extends the RD8000 operation
into areas where other products fail. In electrically noisy environments,
particularly in areas where very large signals are present, it
automatically filters out unwanted signals allowing the operator to work
effectively in areas such as power substations and overhead railway HV
cables.
TRANSMITTERS
The Tx-3 (3 Watt) transmitter has a high current and induction capability as
well as Fault Find. The Tx-10 has the highest current capability (10 Watts) 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.
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.
Each transmitter come with connection leads and ground rod.
