Speed, accuracy & reliable performance for fast, precise, repeatable measurements
Industrial grade display, for outdoor usage
RD8200 locators and transmitters use transflective low power LCD technology that uses ambient light to improve screen readability in direct sun light and extend battery life.
High performance audio and vibration alerts, for noisy environments
The RD8200 waterproof speaker housing has been tuned to provide optimum resonance for your choice of high or low frequency tones. 5 power output audio levels and vibration alerts, assist technicians working in challenging situations.
TruDepth™ and current readout, for extra assurance
Radiodetection’s TruDepth displays precise depth and current measurements, only when the RD8200 is correctly oriented above the target. Measurement consistency gives high confidence that the correct line is being followed.
Peak+ Mode, for speed and accuracy
Peak+ adds the benefits of Guidance or Null locating to the accuracy of Peak mode.
• Guidance gets you to the Peak position faster.
• Null lets you check for the distortion caused by other utilities, spurs or interference.
Passive Avoidance, for a quick perimeter scan
Rapidly check an area before excavation using simultaneous detection of the Passive Power and Radio signals carried on underground cables or pipes.
Class leading sensitivity, for difficult locates
State of the art Digital Signal Processing technology lets technicians detect and react to the weak signals associated with difficult to locate or deep utilities.
iLOC, for efficient operations
Long range wireless link between the RD8200 locator and a compatible transmitter allows you to control the locate signal’s power and frequency from up to 1400′ / 450m away.
Adaptable in challenging environments
The RD8200 range of locators and transmitters simplify the task of distinguishing and tracing utilities in congested networks, near substations or high voltage lines.
Current Direction, track the right line
Identify your target amongst a number of parallel utilities by applying a specialized CD signal from a Tx-10 transmitter. CD arrows displayed on the locator confirm you are tracing your target line.
Power Filters™, works where other locators won’t
When a transmitter can’t be connected, tracing individual power lines through dense networks can be a real challenge. Conflicting or powerful signals confuse or combine to create a wash of signal. A single key press enables the use of the harmonic properties of power signals to establish if a signal comes from one source, or from multiple cables which you can then trace and mark.
Dynamic Overload Protection, rejects unwanted interference
Automatically filters out interference, enabling use in electrically noisy environments such as near substations or overhead power lines.
4 kHz locate & CD, optimized for telecoms and street lighting
The 4 kHz locate frequency allows high impedance lines to be traced over longer distances. Combine 4 kHz with CD to improve trace accuracy in areas of dense infrastructure.
SideStep™, interference evasion
Shifts the locate frequency to survey in areas prone to interference or where more than one operator is working.
Technology driven best on-site practice
RD8200 locators offer many features designed to drive correct usage, reduce utility damage, improve safety and enhance your reputation.
Swing Warning System, drives correct usage
Locators must be kept perpendicular to the ground for best accuracy. RD8200 locators have a built-in gyroscopic measurement system which alerts the user of excessive swing, driving correct usage.
Usage-logging with GPS positioning, understand how your technicians operate
The RD8200G locator automatically stores all locate parameters providing a comprehensive picture of field operations.
Supervisors or health and safety personnel can analyse the data to assess usage patterns in order to ensure adherence to best-practice and to identify training needs before poor work habits develop.
The information can also be shared with partners or clients to evidence task completion or compliance to service requirements.
Usage data can be exported in multiple file formats – for example KML for Google Maps to confirm where and when work was performed.
StrikeAlert™, minimizes risk of accidents
Visual, vibration and audio warnings, both in active and passive locating modes, of shallowed utility lines.
Vibration feedback, reduces the chance of missed warnings
The RD8200 locator handle vibrates when alerts activate, leaving the operator to concentrate on the job at hand.
Technology driven best on-site practice
The RD8200 is a light yet rugged tool ready to operate in most difficult conditions, day after day. Radiodetection help is always at hand with our online support website.
Made in the UK – No compromise on quality
