Radiodetection RD7100 DL with Tx-1 Pipe & Cable Locator System

Buried pipelines and utilities require a method to determine position and routing without excavation. Electromagnetic locating applies a controlled signal to a conductor and measures the resulting field at the surface. This method defines location, direction, and continuity of underground assets.

The Radiodetection RD7100 DL performs signal detection across pipeline and utility networks, while the Tx-1 transmitter provides controlled signal application. The system operates as a paired configuration where signal transmission and surface detection are used together to trace buried conductors.

• RD7100 DL detects electromagnetic fields emitted from energized buried pipes and cables</li>
• DL configuration supports tracing of conductive pipeline infrastructure and utility lines</li>
• Simultaneous depth and current measurement confirms signal presence on the traced line</li>
• Operates across active transmitter-applied signals and passive ambient signals

The Tx-1 generates a controlled electromagnetic signal that is applied to a target conductor. The RD7100 DL detects this signal at the surface, allowing the operator to trace the path of the utility by following the signal response.

• Tracing of buried pipelines in water and utility infrastructure</li>
• Location of underground cables and conductive service lines</li>
• Identification of individual utilities within shared or congested corridors
