Radiodetection RD 7000 DL Locator w/ TX-5

Radiodetection RD 7000 DL Cable and Pipe Locator

Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locate information for all utilities
Locating specific pipes and cables in large underground networks is becoming increasingly complex. Ground distortion effects, caused by differing soil types and proximity to other conductors, make the operatorﾒs job more difficult and time-consuming. The most important requirements for a locator under these circumstances are ease of use, accuracy and reliability. Radiodetectionﾒs RD7000 addresses this need with several groundbreaking features that deliver accurate, reliable and repeatable measurements.

The new RD7000 range of locators are powerful successors to the industry standard RD4000 SL, TL, PL and DL family. RD7000 delivers exceptional performance in areas of interference.

Ergonomics:
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. The RD7000 is 28% lighter than the industry standard RD4000, which encourages extended use. Despite its weight and form, the RD7000 retains the environmental durability associated with an IP54 rating, meaning you can operate it in almost any environment. The receiver and transmitter feature a large, high contrast, backlit LCD screen that provides the user with clear information in any light conditions. The intuitive and responsive interface is designed so the operator can access any feature with ease. The keypad uses a self explanatory icon set that is consistent on both the transmitter and the receiver.

Centrosﾙ:
For 30 years Radiodetection has revolutionized cable locator design with over 50 software and hardware patents as part of our commitment to product improvement. This research has developed into a single entity called Centrosﾙ. Centrosﾙ combines new and innovative algorithms with established software on a high-performance processor core. Centrosﾙ improves the accuracy and repeatability of measurements and delivers unprecedented responsiveness in the field. Centrosﾙ delivers powerful signal filtering and analysis allowing continued operation even in the most electrically noisy environments. Centrosﾙ provides our customers with the most powerful measurement engine of any cable and pipe locator.

eCALﾙ:
is a novel Radiodetection technique that allows the operator to validate the original factory calibration of the RD7000. 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 RD7000 to a service center.

Peak/Null mode:
is a tool to identify the effects of field distortion due to ground conditions or nearby utilities. Simultaneous display of Peak bar graph response and proportional Null arrows allow a quick assessment of locate conditions.

Transmitters:
Radiodetection also introduces a new transmitter range. Three models, providing 1, 3 and 10 Watt outputs, use a patented system architecture and amplifier housed in a robust case. 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.

RD7000DL Water and Pipeline Industry
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. This makes the DL the ideal product for standard cable and pipe location and the ideal solution for locating deep, underground dirty water pipes and drains and where the pipe material does not allow the use of standard locating technology but where sondes can be deployed.

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.
