Sensors & Software LMX100 GPR Utility Locator

The Sensors & Software LMX100 is a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system made for locating buried utilities. An operator pushes its wheeled cart across the ground, and the instrument sends radar signals below the surface. Reflections from underground features appear on its touchscreen as a cross-section of the area being scanned.

The LMX100 helps locate both metallic and non-metallic objects. It can be useful for finding plastic pipes, concrete drains, cables, tanks, and other buried structures—especially when a utility has no working tracer wire. The operator looks for patterns in the radar image, then moves the cart back over a suspected target to mark its position on the ground.

Its 250 MHz ultra-wideband antenna is designed to balance image detail with depth penetration. Sensors & Software states that the LMX100 can collect data to depths of up to 8 m (about 26 ft) in suitable conditions. The depth of a detected object is calculated from the radar signal’s travel time, so correct soil calibration matters when estimating depth.

The LMX100 is designed for quick decisions in the field. Its high-visibility touchscreen shows scan results as the cart moves, and operators can save screenshots of areas of interest. Built-in GPS provides location information, while Wi-Fi and USB make it possible to share or transfer survey records.

In practical use, the LMX100 helps surveyors and utility crews investigate a site and mark likely underground services before excavation. It provides a visual record that can complement other locating methods, particularly for non-metallic utilities. Interpreting a radar reflection still requires care: the image helps indicate a buried feature, but does not automatically identify exactly what it is.
