ErgonomicdesignLight weight, withhigh contrast LCDdisplay providingclear information inany light condition.iLOC Save time byremotely controllingthe transmitter usingan advanced longrange Bluetooth ® link.SurveyCERT Share RD8000 datawith PC or PDAapplications forreporting, audit andanalysis.Centros Improves the accuracyand repeatabilityof measurementsand deliversunprecedentedresponsivenessin the field.Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locate data.The RD8000PDL and PXL are powerful successors to the industry standard RD4000PDL and PXL pipeand cable locators. The RD8000 improves on speed, accuracy and reliability yet remains a cost-effectivesolution for any application delivering unique user features. Designed with the latest, patented digitalfirmware, RD8000 delivers a highly controllable and reliable locate solution to service any industry,anywhere in the world.ErgonomicsThe RD8000 is ergonomically designed to deliver a superiorperforming locator that provides the user with a light weight,energy efficient and exceptionally well balanced tool. TheRD8000 is 28% lighter than the industry standard RD4000,which encourages extended use. Despite its weight and form,the RD8000 retains the environmental durability associatedwith an IP54 rating, meaning you can operate it in almost anyenvironment. The receiver and transmitter feature a large, highcontrast, backlit LCD screen that provides the user with clearinformation in any light conditions. The intuitive and responsiveinterface is designed so the operator can access any featurewith ease. The keypad uses a self explanatory icon set that isconsistent on both the transmitter and the receiver.Centros For 30 years Radiodetection has revolutionizedcable locator design with over 50 software andhardware patents as part of our commitmentto product improvement. This research has developed intoa single entity called Centros . Centros combines new andinnovative algorithms with established software on a highperformanceprocessor core. Centros improves the accuracyand repeatability of measurements and delivers unprecedentedresponsiveness in the field. Centros delivers powerful signalfiltering and analysis allowing continued operation even in themost electrically noisy environments. Centros provides ourcustomers with the most powerful measurement engine of anycable and pipe locator.iLOC iLOC is an advanced long range Bluetooth ® link betweenthe RD8000 locator and transmitter that helps save theoperator time and effort. iLOC allows the operator to controlthe transmitter remotely using a number of unique features.With iLOC you can spend less time walking and more timelocating. iLOC operates at distances up to 800 meters (875yards) line of sight providing an operator with a fast andunique means of conducting a survey.iLOC applications supported are:n SideStep – enables an operator to move the transmitterfrequency slightly above the selected frequency enablinglocates in areas prone to interference or where multipleoperators are locating.n Frequency Select – choose an active frequency onthe RD8000 and synchronously change the transmitterfrequency to match.n Power Management – an operator can adjust the outputpower of the transmitter to optimize output signal, leadingto efficient use of transmitter batteries.n Transmitter remote sleep/wake– enter standby mode to prolongbattery life. Conveniently wakethe transmitter with a simplekey press on the receiver.Transmitter can be set tostandby mode each timepassive location is carried out.
