| PIPE & CABLE LOCATORS Deceptively
small and sleek, the compact design and high power output makes this series of
'Stand Up' style locators from Metrotech the best value for Utilities and
Utility Contractors. The lightweight receiver (less than 2 lbs.) can be
held comfortably in one hand from an upright position. The signal strength
meter is in line of sight and you can easily adjust the gain control with a
finger or thumb.
Model 510 is built to the standard 83Khz radio
frequency
Model 530 is built to the High Frequency of
330 Khz frequency. This High Frequency allows the Model 530 the
capability of getting its signal into old iron and steel lines as well as copper
and tracing wire more easily than the Model 510. The high frequency allows
the signal to 'jump' old conductively poor joints between sections of steel
& iron gas and water lines. The high frequency transmitter will also
induce its signal into a pipe more easily than the model 510 when a direct
connection can't be made making the 530 the best for 'BLIND SEARCH'
locates.
For utilities that have a wide array of different
pipes- tracing wire and tracing tape the Model 530 is the hands down best
choice.
