The Schonstedt GA-72CD Magnetic Pipe and Cable Locator detects the magnetic field of iron and steel objects and energized power lines. It provides audio detection signals that peak in frequency when the locator’s tip is held directly over the target.
This Magnetic Locator also has easy-to-read digital and bar graph displays signal strength and polarity. Once you have located a target using the audio signal, the digital readout and polarity indicators will help you to visually pinpoint the target and, in some instances, even determine its orientation.
The GA-72CD’s audio signal and the 3-digit LCD readout will peak, and the (+) or (-) bar graph will expand to full scale when its tip is directly over a vertical iron pipe. One end of a horizontal target will be (+) and the other will be (-). This difference is very significant because it helps you to distinguish between vertical and horizontal pipes.
Features:
- Digital readout and expanding bar graph displays signal strength and polarity
- 4 Sensitivity settings: Low, Medium, High, and extra High
- Piezoelectric speaker
- Analog output for data logger entry
- 60-Hours operational life (intermittent usage) on 2 lithium 9-volt batteries
- First locator to use environmentally friendly and safe lithium batteries. The unit is shipped with two 9-volt lithium batteries installed, and a spare set of batteries stored in the case. Lithium batteries provide twice the life of alkalines, and have a 10-year shelf life.
- 4-Segment BATT LCD monitors battery charge
- Lightweight, easy-to-use design reduces search time
- Modular construction; high performance components
- Patented HeliFlux® sensors
- No response to aluminum, brass, or copper
