[Music] the RT 8100 is our most advanced locator range and builds on over 40 years of pedigree the deliver performance quality and durability containing a unique arrangement of five custom manufactured precision round antennas it allows you to choose the optimum level of precision for the job at hand the Rd 8100 has a faster boot up speed than the 8000 and has an ip65 rating for improved weather protection the shock resistant ingress protected casing protects against knocks drops dust and water additionally a lithium-ion rechargeable battery option is available for the receiver providing greater ease of use
guidance mode is a standard feature on the Rd 8100 guidance mode is useful for rapidly following the path of a Buried utility through a congested or complex area it is also useful for checking the general direction of utilities as part of a pre locating sweep it features rapid response with a target needle and proportional guidance arrows peak plus mode helps the operator find the peak response quickly and accurately it combines the accuracy of peak locating with the rapid ground coverage of guidance arrows tracing individual power lines through a congested area can be a challenge inflicting
or powerful signals confuse or combine to create a wash up signal using the power filters feature a single key press on the locator allows you to locate on five individual power harmonics of the power signals to establish if a signal is coming from one source or from multiple cables which can then be traced and marked the Rd 8100 has current direction which has allows you to identify your target line amongst a number of parallel utility this is done by applying a specialized CED signal from the TX transmitter to reset CD press and hold the frequency
bud CD arrow is displayed on that locator confirm you are tracing your target CD is available on the RT of 8100 PDL and PTL models only four kilohertz frequency enables lines such as a twisted pair tell comms or street lighting to be traced over longer distances since utilities are opted found in areas of dense infrastructure you can combine 4 kilohertz with current direction to improve trace accuracy simultaneous depth and current measurements display on the RT 8100 when the compass is in line with the utility give you confidence the correct line is being fall I lock
is an advanced Bluetooth link between the Rd 8100 locator and transmitter which allows you to control the locate signals power and frequency from up to 1,400 feet less time walking and more time locating GPS equipped Rd 8100 locators automatically log key locate parameters every second providing a comprehensive picture of individual locates or allowing you to access usage patterns over periods of a year or more the data generated can be used to ensure compliance with best practice or to identify training needs before for work habits develop additionally the information can be used for internal audits or
shared with partners or clients to evidence task completion or compliance with service requirements usage data can be exported in multiple file formats for example KML or Google map to confirm where and when work was performed finally the Rd 8100 features a self-test you can conduct in the field the integrity of the measurement system can be confirmed on site like running a self-test which apply signals to the locating circuitry as well as checks display and power functions
