The VM-810 by Vivax-Metrotech is a specialized utility locator operating at a high frequency of 83.1kHz, making it particularly effective for detecting larger pipelines with bell housings and gaskets, such as those used in water and gas distribution. This higher frequency also facilitates the location of ungrounded, small-diameter drop wires and enables signal induction through the soil onto services when direct connection is not feasible. The VM-810's Distance Sensitive Left/Right Guidance™ assists operators by indicating the direction to move to be directly over the buried line, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in utility detection tasks across Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas.

Conversely, the VM-850 operates at a lower frequency of 9.82kHz, making it ideal for locating smaller diameter utilities such as CATV, power, and telephone lines. This lower frequency minimizes signal bleed-over onto adjacent services, providing clearer and more precise locates in congested underground environments. Similar to the VM-810, the VM-850 features Distance Sensitive Left/Right Guidance™, aiding operators in accurately pinpointing the location of buried utilities.

Both models are designed with user-friendly interfaces and robust construction, ensuring durability and reliability in various field conditions. Their specific frequency operations cater to different utility detection needs, allowing professionals to choose the model that best fits their application requirements.

Professionals in the southwestern United States seeking advanced utility locating solutions can rely on TecSolutions Consultants, a trusted provider of underground utility equipment serving Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California. TecSolutions offers both the VM-810 and VM-850 models, ensuring that local utility detection needs are met with cutting-edge technology and dedicated support.
