Introducing
the DETECTON - a major breakthrough for the water, gas electricity
and telecommunications industries.
The DETECTON is designed for the precise location of all underground
service pipes and cables. It not only functions on metallic pipes
and cables, but also allows you to trace the course of plastic,
concrete, and other non-metallic pipes. In addition it is also
designed to pinpoint leaks in the water mains network under difficult
searching conditions.
This sophisticated locator is in daily use throughout
the world and has established its superiority and accuracy under
the most divergent environmental and climatic conditions.
The level of performance and versatility, the
high selectivity and unique characteristics of this truly universal
locator ensure that it will provide successful results where conventional
detectors would fail.
Principle of operation - Non-metallic
water pipes
The signal generator is placed on the ground over (but not in
contact with) the pipe. This induces a signal in the water within
the non-metallic water pipe, which the DETECTON head is equipped
to receive.
This water-borne signal is detectable at depths
of up to 6 meters and distances of up to 100 meters from the generating
source, thus enabling the course of the water pipe to be accurately
plotted.
The next section of pipe can simply be traced
by repositioning the signal generator.
Conventional metallic pipe tracing
The DETECTON can, of course, be used for normal metal pipe route
tracing. Thanks to its high power output, exceptional tracing
lengths can be obtained.
Measures depth of buried service
The DETECTON can measure the depth of any service up to 6 meters
or more.
Signal transmission
The DETECTON signal generator is suitable for both direct connection
and contactless signal induction.
Optimum detection frequency
Different transmission frequencies can be selected so as to obtain
the best tracing result.
Simple cable detection
Live cables can be detected with the receiver alone (without using
the transmitter).
Suitable for any pipe material and all
terrains
The special acoustic characteristics permit leak detection with
every kind of pipe material, especially also with plastic pipes.
A simple adaptor allows the ground microphone to be used on soft
terrain (grass, fields etc).
High acoustic sensitivity
The high acoustic sensitivity permits detection under particularly
difficult local conditions, such as uPVC, MDPE pipes, or domestic
connections in gardens and fields, or under low operating pressures.
Audio/visual indication
In addition to an audible signal, an LED display gives visual
confirmation of pipe, cable or leak location.
Ease of operation
The latest electronic technology enables, after only a brief familiarization,
to locate pipe and cables or leaks within minutes.
