Utility Locator
The vLoc3-9800’s patented Distance-Sensitive Left/Right Guidance and audible tone guide you to the path of the buried utility. The current measurement and compass direction indicator confirm that you are on target.
The user-configurable vLoc3-9800 contains two passive locate modes, fault-find mode, and a range of configurable frequencies. Visual and mechanical vibration alerts warn of shallow depth, overload, overhead cables and excessive swinging. Plug-and-play options include an optional Bluetooth module for external GPS devices and the plug-in vLoc3-MLA marker locator.
