Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locate data the RD8000 improves on speed, accuracy and reliability yet remains a cost effective solution for any application delivering unique user features. Designed with the latest, patented digital firmware, the RD8000 delivers a highly controllable and reliable locate solution to service any industry.
Features
Ergonomics - 28% lighter than an RD4000, it is a well balanced lightweight tool that encourages extended use. However whilst it is lightweight it is still rugged with an ingress protection rating of IP54
Centros Enabled - A result of 30 years of software development by Radiodetection has generated a high performance processing core which improves the accuracy and repeatability of measurements
Powerful signal filtering and analysis allows continued operation even in the most
electrically noisy environments
iLOC - An advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8000 locator and transmitter that helps save the operator time and effort. iLOC allows the operator to control the transmitter remotely using a number of unique features.The operator spends less time walking and more time locating. It operates up to 800 metres line of sight, providing the operator with a
fast and unique means of conducting a survey
SurveyCERT - This enables the operator to upload up to 1000 locate
records to a PDA or PC using Bluetooth®. You can then instantly view
the data using SurveyCERT software. If the PC or PDA has a GPS receiver
it will automatically add the timestamp and position to the record. It is
compatible with Geographical Information System (GIS) packages
eCAL - The operator can validate the calibration of the RD8000 to ensure
confidence that it is operating accurately. It can issue and print a certificate
TruDepth - Indicates depth only when the locator is positioned correctly
above the target for the most accurate reading
Dynamic Overload Protection - Allows use of the RD8000 in areas where
excessive signals are present
Peak Distance Arrows - Quickly guides the operator to the targets centre
axis using proportional arrows and sound
StrikeAlert - Reduces the risk of accidents by detecting shallow power
cables and alerting the operator
Passive Avoidance - allows the operator to survey the ground quickly using
simultaneous detection of power and radio signals carried on underground
pipes or cables
Compass - Provides the operator with visual indication of the target cable
or pipe direction
Custom Frequency Select - Enables a user to select a unique frequency
below 1kHz
Fault Find - Locates a cable fault accurately within 1 metre using the
optional A Frame attached to the locator
Current Direction - Identifies a target cable amongst a number of parallel
cables using CD direction arrows. With CD the operator can locate a target
quickly and eliminate wasted time
RD Transmitters - 1W/3W/10W power ratings
There are two versions of the RD8000:
RD8000PXL - The industry standard high performance cable and pipe locator. It
has a broad range of active, passive and sonde frequencies as well as a number
of unique user features supplied as standard.
RD8000PDL - Offers a broader range of frequencies and sophisticated fault finding
capabilities. It has all the features of the RD8000PXL and a larger range of active
and passive frequencies (including CATV and CPS) plus Current Direction (CD) and
Fault Find (FF) modes
