Description
The Stick&Staff fault Locator is specially designed to detect buried utilities. This device may detect buried power cables, CATV cables, gas and water pipes, sewer lines, telephone cables, fiber optic cables with sheath, sondes, inspection camera transmitters.
Dependability is not only driven by the internal technology, but The Stick&Staff is built to last with a carbon fiber housing and sealed against weather. The ruggedly designed and well balanced receiver includes an LCD screen providing relative and actual signal strength, as well as a speaker for variable audio pitch. With two line locate modes to choose from, a peaking signal response and left-right guidance, the instrument can be operated for quick and simple locating or it may be dialed in to minimize interference. Conductor depth can be estimated by both a push button digital depth & by triangulation.
As standard the unit is equipped with 4 active frequencies; 815Hz, 8kHz, 33kHz & 82kHZ.
Transmitter functions include transmitter induction, coupler induction and direct connection. Whether the locate is measured in feet or miles, with automatic impedance matching from 5 ohm to 25,000 ohms and 3 watts of output power, The Stick&Staff will meet the challenge.
