General Tools Instruments
General’s Cable & Pipe Locator (CL10) arms electricians, contractors, remodelers, homeowners and
others with information that allows them to identify and trace electrical cables and metallic, water, gas
or drain pipes without ripping walls apart or trying to track down and analyze construction drawings,
saving time and money. It quickly pinpoints the location of electrical cables and metallic water, gas or
drain pipes by revealing infrastructure up to 6.6 ft. (2m) behind walls, above ceilings or under floors. It
also allows users to easily trace circuits, identify a circuit’s breaker, detect open- and short-circuits, find
outlets covered by plaster and safely break through walls. The CL10 transmitter and receiver
communicate on any of eight channels and display readings on a big, bright graphic LCD. Both units
also include an integral flashlight for illuminating dark areas. Used with a metal rod, the system also can
locate blockages and constrictions in plastic pipes.
