MXL4 Precision Locator and MXT4 Transmitter Combo Kit

MXL4 Precision Locator with MXT4 Transmitter Combo Kit - MXL4D-MXT4D

MXL4 Precision Locator

The MXL4 Precision Locator represents a significant advance in cable detecting and tracing capabilities. Two versions of the MXL4 are available; the MXL4-D which has full data logging capability, and the MXL4-DBG which has full data logging capability, Bluetooth™ connectivity and GPS. Innovative new features have been introduced enabling the MXL4 Locator and MXT4 Transmitter to provide high-end precision performance and a far more flexible approach to pipe and cable location.

MXT4 Transmitter

The MXT4 offers three alternative ways to apply a Signal Generator signal:

Direct Connection allows specific pipes or cables to be individually traced, identified and their depths measured. The use of Signal Clamps, Signal Injectors and Direct Connection leads make this mode the most effective method for pinpointing pipes and cables.

If it is difficult or inconvenient to use Direct Connection, then the Wraparound technique can be utilised to successfully energise a street or car park lighting cable.

Induction allows the Signal Generator to induce a detectable and traceable signal to previously unknown, undetected or inaccessible underground metal pipes or cables.

• One Watt 4-level adjustable Power Output
• Six Signal Outputs:
  • Simultaneous 33+131kHz
  • 512Hz Signal
  • 640Hz Signal
