Amprobe AT-5005 Professional Underground Cable and Pipe Locator System

Amprobe AT-5005 Professional Underground Cable and Pipe Locator System

(4 customer reviews)

  • Locates underground energized and de-energized wires, cables and pipes, eliminates exploratory digging in parking lots or under floors for buried pipes and wires
  • Signal select and distortion alert icon indicates clean signal of the traced line, versus “ghost” and “return” path signals coming from the neighboring lines
  • Forward-looking guidance coil alerts for bends
  • Distance sensitive left/right guidance guides the user to the exact location of the buried utilities and eliminates “blind searches for the line
  • Three testing modes for best accuracy:
    • Passive power mode (50, 60, 100 and 120 Hz) – tracing energized lines conducting current
    • Passive radio mode (RF) – using surrounding radio waves to trace underground objects
    • Active mode – T-5000 signal generator with broad frequency selection between 491 Hz and 166 kHz with induction mode or directly connected to the cable with test leads or optional clamp
  • Active mode depth measurement up to 20’ (6m)
  • Bright color ¼ VGA receiver graphical display and audible signal indicators provide clear reading to the user
  • Strong testing signal generated by 10 watt variable output transmitter for dependable depth and distance locating
  • Powerful digital signal processing in both receiver and transmitter provides outstanding performance in tracing when compared to analog devices
  • Automatic or manual gain mode allows respectively quick and easy tracing of the line or precise pinpointing of the fault
  • Receiver Bluetooth® wireless communication for downloading relevant images and archiving of meaningful digital information (previous survey results)
  • Ground fault locating with A-Frame adapter for power and telecom cables (optional for AT-5000)
  • Precise pinpointing of buried services and exceptionally fast sound and meter response
  • Rugged durable construction, weatherproof and drop resistant to 3’

Description

Buried utilities represent a major challenge to electricians who need to trace and trouble shoot such systems. They also represent a hazard to excavation crews. Improperly performed digging can cause cable or pipe damage resulting in personal injury, costly repairs and penalties. Using superior design and powerful software, the AT-5000 offers several new performance features, establishing them as the new standard for locating and pinpointing faults in the underground systems. Distance sensitive Left/Right indication guides the user to the exact location of the buried utilities which saves time and effort not available on standard locators. The Signal Select and Distortion Alert provide superior accuracy by visually indicating a clean signal of the traced line, versus “ghost and ‘return’ path of false signals coming from the neighboring lines, and keeping the user on the target line. The core of the AT-5005 Utility Locating System is the ergonomically designed handheld receiver. Designed for comfort, the lightweight receiver is balanced for all day use. The receiver’s bright color display is complete with intuitive, easily read graphics that can be viewed in all lighting conditions.

    MONEY MAKING PRODUCT!!!!

    I have seen the Amprobe-5000 in action, it was so amazing. A friend has one and came over to my project to check out some areas we were going to excavate and I am so glad he did, we found 3 different situations that would have cost me over $ 5000.00 in repairs. This will most definetly be one of my next purchases……………..

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.
