Description
Overview
The Radio Detection RD7000TL+ is an underground utility locator specifically engineered for the telecommunications industry. It addresses the unique challenge of locating high-impedance sheathed telecom cables with a frequency range extending up to 200 kHz and integrated fault finding capabilities. The rugged, lightweight design delivers accurate, reliable, and repeatable performance in the field with minimal operator training.
Key Features
- Lightweight design at 5 lbs / 2.3 kg for extended comfortable use
- IP54 protection rating for operation in nearly any environment
- High contrast backlit LCD screens on transmitter and locator for visibility in all light conditions
- Compass visually indicates cable orientation and guides operator to central axis
- Proportional left–right arrows with dynamic sound indicate distance from target cable
- Dynamic Overload Protection filters unwanted signals in electrically noisy environments
- Frequency range up to 200 kHz for high-impedance telecom cable location
- Fault finding capability for precise cable fault location
- Automatic data logging records locate parameters every second for up to 1 year
- Bluetooth connectivity for easy transfer of survey data to external devices
- Remote calibration via eCERT service without returning to service center
- CALSafe feature enforces service and calibration recall after set date
Applications
- Locating and maintaining high-impedance sheathed telecom cables
- Precise cable fault finding and diagnosis
- Underground network mapping and survey
- Construction and excavation planning near buried cables
- Telecom infrastructure maintenance and repair
Specifications
| Ergonomics | Light weight: At only 4.2lbs / 1.9kg or 5lbs / 2.3Kg, for marker models the RD7000+ range is comfortable to use for extended periods. IP54 protection rating: Can operate in almost any environment. High contrast backlit LCD screens on both transmitter and locator allow use in any light conditions. |
| Compass | Visually indicates orientation of the target cable. Allows the operator to quickly and easily follow the target line. Maximizes depth measurement accuracy by ensuring the locator is correctly aligned with the target line. |
| Dynamic Overload Protection | Extends the RD7000+’s locate capability into areas where other products fail. Automatically filters out large and unwanted signals while ensuring accurate location of the target pipe or cable. Particularly useful in electrically noisy environments such as power sub stations or near overhead high-voltage cables. |
| Remote Calibration | Using the Windows compatible supporting software, locators can be checked for correct calibration and operation over the internet. Using eCERT™ (for marker models) or eCALTM (for non marker models) calibration validation service, without needing to return the RD7000+ to a service center. Operators can then print, email or save a calibration certificate, or book a service should any issues be detected. |
| RF Utility Marker Locator with Automatic Depth Estimation | Radiodetection’s unique automatic marker depth estimation provides measurements when the locator is in close proximity of the marker, without requiring a manual two-step ‘lift up’ process thus providing more accurate results. Combined mode allows users to simultaneously scan for cable, pipes and RF markers reducing survey time. RD7000+ marker locator models detect all commonly used RF utilities markers enabling use across multiple industries. |
| Proportional Left–Right Arrows | Visually indicates orientation of the target cable. Guides the user to the central axis of the pipe or cable with dynamic left / right arrows, enhanced with differentiating sound. Distance from target cable indicated by length of arrow . |
| Transmitters | Three models capable of delivering up to 10W of true output power, maintaining constant current across their entire bandwidth in direct connect, clamp or inductive modes to enable fast and repeatable surveys. TX-5 model features 8kHz Fault Find functionality; TX-10 models feature both 8kHz Fault Find and Current Direction (CD functions require use of RD8000 locator) functions. 90V output capability: All transmitters offer both 30V and 90V output options, resulting in higher signal current delivered on high impedance target lines than typical transmitters that only offer a 50V output. Higher signals are more locatable signals that travel a longer distance. SideStepauto™: Allows the transmitter to calculate the optimum frequency based on ground impedance. The transmitter uses this information to optimize the active frequency. SideStepauto helps to improve locate accuracy and extends battery life. ECO mode: Extends alkaline battery life by warning the operator and gradually reducing the power output in low battery condition (Tx-5 and Tx-10 models only). |
