Rycom Pathfinder PLS Precision Underground Cable Locating System
Rycom Pathfinder PLS Precision Underground Cable Locating System
Built with Pathfinder SAF Technology™ at its core, the Pathfinder Precision Locating System from Rycom Instruments, Inc., is ideal for congested locates in crowded easements, long runs of pipe and cable, as well as basic service drops. This simple, accurate and affordable locator is designed for those committed to protecting buried infrastructure.
Engineered with the signature FrequencyFlex™, the Pathfinder Precision Locating System allows users to adapt the available frequencies to their specific needs. Frequencies can be added or deleted on demand to suit the user’s locating needs.
Innovative PathLink™ technology* creates a remote link between the transmitter and receiver. Users can now control the transmitter’s output power and frequency right from the hand-held receiver, eliminating the back and forth walking between devices. (*optional)
A large, high-contrast LCD offers clearly visible signal response in any lighting. Automatic depth, automatic current, and proximal directional arrows are readable in the brightest sunshine or backlit for viewing in dimmer conditions.
Whether the locate is measured in feet or miles, 10 watts of power and automatic impedance matching from 5 ohms to 25,000 ohms, ensures adequate signal application. The Pathfinder Precision Locating System is a must have for any damage prevention specialist.
- FrequencyFlex™: offers 1000+ programmable frequencies crafted to individual locating requirements. FrequencyFlex™ allows push-button field customization at the job site.
- 8 Locating Modes: the multi-channel processor allows for simultaneous field detection from a multiple antenna array ensuring accuracy
- PathTraq™ Mobile Application: downloaded to your phone, Rycom’s PathTraq™ is a GPS & Data Logger application to provide real-time coordinate logging of field locations
- Automatic Impedance Matching Technology: maximizes your transmission range while minimizing power consumption
- PathLinkTM Technology: remotely controls your transmitter from the receiver to more than 400 yards
- High-Contrast LCD Interface with Backlight: guides the operator to the target location by providing all relevant data including continuous depth, current measurement, signal strength, and directional arrows.
- Constant Depth & Current Measurement: real time updates on line depth and signal condition
- 84 wH Lithium-Ion Batteries: lighter weight design and longer operating life
- 4-year warranty: registration extends warranty to 4 years.
- Made in the USA since 1946: engineered in our Raytown, MO headquarters for more than 70 years
