Durable utility, pipe and cable locator with three signal options, the SubSurface PL-2000 multifrequency pipe and cable locator is a very durable unit that is a work of art in its simplicity of use and sophistication of operation. It is unique in that it offers four modes: peak, null, distance and sonde. Plus, it’s a workhorse, offering three active frequencies, two passive frequencies, four modes of operation and both inductive and direct connection capabilities. And all its components are housed in a well-protected, lightweight and easy-to-use design. PL-2000 transmitter has 3.0 watts power output in the Direct Connection mode; allowing locates for much longer distances, the lightweight, balanced receiver offers four different operating modes “Peak” mode – for the most accurate locates and for depth measurement “Null” mode for fast, easy tracking (also indicates “left” or “right”) “Dist” mode for even longer distances up to 50 percent farther “Sonde” mode for locating sewer Sondes and measuring their depths. Any 512 Hz/8 kHz will be detected. Three “active” frequencies at a nominal 0.5 kHz, 8 kHz and 27 kHz, plus two “passive” frequencies the 50/60 power and radio passive.
- Select the “Mix” mode at the transmitter and transmit all active frequencies simultaneously in the “Direct Connect” mode
- Detects and reports “poor ground” conductivity at the transmitter in Direct Connection
- Current measurement in the “Depth” function can verify you are tracing the correct line in congested utilities
- “Auto Off” functions in both the transmitter & receiver shut off their operations after a user defined time period of non-use
- Optional Equipment for PL-2000 Direct Inductive Clamp – Induce signal directly onto target line through insulation, paint, etc. – up to 4″ diameter Sonde (mini-transmitter) – 8 kHz – Flush, push, pull through non-metallic pipe – works with PL-2000 receiver. Traces through sewer pipe, water lines, etc. that are plastic, concrete, vinyl, clay, etc. Self-contained – On/Off toggle switch, indicator LED, lanyard attach loop & threaded to receive plumber’s snake.
