Guidance Mode allows you to rapidly find and follow the path of a buried utility. Directional information is displayed alongside proportional distance arrows to help find the utility and then keep you on its path. The simultaneous display of depth and current information gives confidence the correct utility is being traced even in congested networks. For rough or uneven terrain differentiated audio tones can be used, freeing the user to concentrate on potential hazards. 

Combine the accuracy of Peak locating with the rapid ground coverage of Guidance arrows in the new Peak ™ mode. A single key press lets you check for distortion by comparing Null with Peak.

GPS equipped RD7100 locators automatically capture key locate parameters every second, providing a comprehensive picture of individual locates and allowing you to assess usage patterns over periods of a year or more.

The data generated can be used to ensure adherence to best practice, or to identify training needs before poor work habits develop. Additionally, the information can be used for internal audits or shared with stakeholders to enable process improvements, and evidence task completion.

Usage data can be exported in multiple file formats – for example, KML for Google Maps to confirm where and when the work was performed.

When a signal transmitter can’t be connected, tracing individual power lines through complex networks can be a real challenge. Conflicting or powerful signals confuse, or combine to create a wash of signal.

With a single key press you can now utilise the harmonic properties of power signals to establish if a signal comes from one source, or from multiple cables, then trace and mark their routes.

Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery options for both locator and transmitter provide extended runtime with reduced running costs. 

ADVANTAGES

Powerful locating at your fingertips
Interface consistency with our previous locators allows you to transfer knowledge and reduces retraining costs.

Menu options and capabilities are matched to specific industries simplifying use.

RD7100’s ergonomic balanced design and lightweight (4.2lbs / 1.9kgs) ensures it is comfortable to use for extended periods.

On-site operator confidence
StrikeAlert™ in active and passive locating modes gives visual and audio warnings of shallow cables reducing the risk of accidents.

TruDepth™ ensures depth readings are only given when RD7100 is correctly oriented ensuring you can be confident in the result.

The integrity of the measurement system can be confirmed on-site. Self-test applies signals to the locating circuitry as well as checking display and power functions.

ECERT™ allows you to verify and certify the calibration of your locator over the internet using RD Manager PC software package without returning the unit to a service centre.

Simplify complex locates
Simultaneous display of depth and current measurements gives you the confidence you are following the correct line.

Dynamic Overload Protection filters out interference, enabling use in electrically noisy environments such as near substations or overhead power lines.

Industry-specific frequencies and modes simplify menu options and reduce complexity.

Power Filters™ uses the harmonic properties of mains networks to establish if a strong power signal comes from one source of multiple cables.

Support when you need it
The RDManager PC software allows to set-up, calibrate and update your RD7100 from a PC without returning your unit to a service centre.
