PrecisionlocatorHighestperformanceEase ofuseFaultfindingLocate and pinpointburied power andother utilities easilyand repeatedly.Fast dynamic responseand excellent signalselectivity, locatesburied services even incongested areas.Ergonomic interface,large clear display,positive keypad anddepth measurement.Identify sheath faultsin a buried cable,even if a problem hasnot yet arisen.RD4000PLPower Industry – advanced locating and fault-findingThe RD4000PL cable and pipe locator has beenintroduced to meet the demand for an advancedlocator dedicated to the power industry.Radiodetection’s RD4000 is widely seen as theindustry standard, whether locating utilities andmarking for construction, mapping or fault finding.The RD4000 series is the product against which allothers are measuredAs a power industry professional you demand the best toolsto do your job. The RD4000PL delivers precision location ofpower infrastructure with the highest level of performance,even in crowded and electrically noisy environments. TheRD4000PL is a sophisticated and powerful instrument andyet the combination of Transmitter and Receiver are easyto use. Sensitivity and signal to noise performance areunmatched in the field of cable and pipe location. Increasedprecision delivers location of difficult services with improvedinformation and repeatability. Increased accuracy = increasedconfidence = reduced risk.With a large, clear display and simple user interface plus‘Real’ sound, the RD4000PL makes location of buriedpower cables swift and repeatable. And we recognize thatyou not only want to locate power services but also markto avoid, and map, other utilities in the area. Faster locatesand precision pinpointing saves time enabling more locatesper day and makes the operator’s job easier.Power engineers will find the fault finding capabilities ofthe RD4000PL a great tool to achieve effective and efficientlocation and identification of cable to earth sheath faults,even if these have yet to create a problem. Infrastructurefaults can be remedied more quickly, saving money andimproving customer satisfaction.At the heart of the RD4000PL is an advanced, powerful digitalmeasurement and processing engine that is second to none.Patented signal processing algorithms provide dramatic andreliable performance.Power utility precision cable & pipelocator Reliable, repeatable locate for mark-to-digor detailed mapping Multiple frequencies to optimize locate ofother utilities in the area Fast, positive response for optimumlocation performance; peak and null modes Signal discrimination to enable location inclose proximity to sub-stations and otherhigh-energy lines Active depth measurement and optionaldepth on PowerHigh performance Receiver Highest performance digital Receiverperforms in noisy environments Fast, clear, positive response even incongested areas Position and depth indications Current measurement to identify the correctutility in close proximity to others Real Sound; audible perception of locatingdynamics Stethoscope enables individual cable pairsto be traced and identifiedRobust, reliable and easy to use Large clear LCD display Ergonomic, simple keypad Self-test function Extended warrantyFind faults in buried cables Fault finding and cable and pipeintegrity measurement
