Trace and locate buried utilities with ease and precision using the Schonstedt Rex Multi-Frequency Pipe and Cable Locator. Featuring multiple frequencies, a simple interface, and a lightweight design, the Rex Pipe and Cable Locator provides a perfect balance of performance, usability, and affordability.
Industry-Standard Performance To help users locate pipes and cables effectively in any situation, the Rex Locator comes with 5 operating modes: conductive, passive, inductive clamp, inductive, and sonde mode. It offers 512 Hz, 33 kHz, and 82 kHz operating frequencies in active mode plus 50/60 Hz passive and 512 Hz sonde detection. The transmitter also packs enough power to generate up to 5 W. The Rex Locator can also measure the depth of utilities up to around 19 ft in active mode and up to 15 ft in sonde mode. Because of its versatility and advanced performance, the Rex Locator can be used to find electric and telecom wires, water and sewer lines, and gas and oil pipelines.
Easy-to-Use Controls Both the receiver and transmitter have a simple, easy-to-learn interface. Setting the operating mode and frequency is a matter of pressing a few buttons, with both receiver and transmitter having an LCD screen that displays the frequency, mode, signal strength, depth, and other information. The LCD of the receiver also displays directional arrows to show you where to move the receiver to be directly over the target. The receiver also gives an audible tone that increases in pitch as it nears the target. Another user-friendly feature is the automatic gain adjustment where the sensitivity of the receiver is automatically adjusted based on the strength of the detected signal. You can also switch to manual gain adjustment in a press of a button.
Lightweight But Rugged Build Setting itself apart from its bulky competitors, the entire system of the Rex Pipe and Cable Locator only weighs under 7 lbs – with the transmitter weighing 3.5 lbs and the receiver weighing less than 3 lbs. The receiver retracts from 27.7” to 17.5” so that it, along with the transmitter and other accessories, can easily fit into a lightweight padded case for easy storage and transportation. Despite their light and portable build, both the Rex receiver and transmitter withstand extreme temperature and resist water and dust to IP54 standards.
With a price that’s comparable to some single-frequency locators, the Rex Pipe and Cable Locator combines performance, user-friendliness, portability, and ruggedness to create the ultimate utility locator at an affordable price.
