Radiodetection TX-10 10-Watt Transmitter

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.
Radiodetection Transmitters Based on a fully digital platform, the family of Radiodetection transmitters has been designed to support the range of Radiodetection RD7000ﾙ+ and RD8000 cable, pipe and RF marker locators.

The Tx-1 is a low power transmitter. The Tx-5 has a higher power and induction capability as well as Fault Find. The Tx-10 has the highest power capability with both Fault Find and CD modes as standard.

All models feature constant current across their entire bandwidth in either direct connect, clamp or inductive mode. The transmitters are light-weight (6lb / 2.9kg), well-balanced and IP54 rated to cope with demanding environmental conditions. Each model has a removable accessory tray and a weatherproof battery compartment. A large, high contrast, backlit LCD screen provides the user with clear information.

90V output capability: All transmitters offer both 30V and 90V output options, resulting in higher signal current delivered on high impedance target lines than typical transmitters that only offer a 50V output. Higher signal levels are more locatable, and travel over longer distances.

SideStepautoﾙ: allows the transmitter to calculate the optimum frequency based on ground impedance. The transmitter uses this information to optimize the active frequency. SideStepauto helps to improve locate accuracy and extends battery life.

To support the extended RD8000 iLOC feature set, the Tx-5B and Tx-10B can be ordered with integrated iLOC remote transmitter control.

The transmitter range features Direct Connect and induction frequencies compatible with locators across the RD8000 range, and can be easily customized to match your locator using the ﾑmodelﾒ feature. The Tx-10B transmitter includes the additional ﾑPTLﾒ model featuring the additional frequencies of the RD8000PTLM locator.

A multimeter function enables quick measurements of output voltage, line voltage, current, impedance and power.

The transmitters are powered either by 8 standard D-cell batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH) or by the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack (available separately). Alternatively, the Tx range can be powered from a 12V vehicle source using a Radiodetection approved isolation transformer.

Alkaline battery life can be extended by enabling ECO mode which warns the operator and gradually reduces the power output in low battery conditions (Tx-5 and Tx-10 models only).
