Radiodetection RD4000 Type 7 Cable Location Kit The Radiodetection RD4000 type 7 kit is the worlds most advanced cable and pipe locating system is now available for rent from Tech Rentals. Able to locate live or disconnected power cables; conductive pipes; or non conductive pipes the RD4000 type 7 kit is ideal in the prevention of accidental and potentially expensive excavation of power cables and conductive pipes on construction sites. The RD4000 type 7kit is supplied with the T10 transmitter which is the most powerful transmitter available from Radiodetection having a power output of 10 watts. Transmission frequencies of 640Hz, 8,33 and 82kHz.
The re RD4000 receiver has many new features including a high resolution LCD with auto back light, signal strength meter for pin point precision, single and dual peak, null, left and right arrows for easier and quicker tracing of cables or pipes. Instantaneous- one touch gain control and one button depth and current measurement.
The RD4000 kit also has the ability to be utilised with the optional A Frame for location of sheath to ground type faults. This functionality is automatic upon connection of this optional A frame, no complex setting up procedures.
Applications
Location of live or disconnected power cables or pipe by:
- placement of transmitter directly over cable or pipe (non-connection induction of signal)
- connection of transmitter to cable or pipe via clam
- connection of transmitter to cable (non-powered) or pipe directly.
Location of sheath to ground type faults with attachment of optional A Frame to RD4000
receiver.
As the cable with the sheath to ground fault is being traced as the combination of RD4000 and A Frame pass over the fault an arrow on the
LCD changes direction. This pinpoints the exact location of the fault.
Location of non-conductive pipes when optional flexible rods with a sonde are rented with the RD4000 kit.
The flexible rod with sonde is pushed down the pipe and the RD4000 receiver is used to trace the movement of the sonde thus tracing the route of the non-conductive pipe.
