Radiodetection RD8200 with TX-10 Transmitter Precision Cable and Pipe Locator Kit

Radiodetection RD8200 Precision Cable and Pipe Locator

The Radiodetection RD8200 is a precision cable and pipe locator used in professional utility locating, construction, and infrastructure maintenance environments. It is designed to support identification and tracing of buried utilities through multiple selectable locating modes, with real-time visual and audio feedback supporting controlled technical field operations.

Locating Modes and Detection Approach

• Passive locating mode for detection of naturally occurring utility signals
• Radio mode for tracing utilities carrying re-radiated radio frequency signals
• Power mode for locating energized cables based on power-related signal presence
• Mode selection and status indication presented directly on the locator display

User Interface and Signal Interpretation

The RD8200 features an integrated screen that presents signal response, operating mode, battery status, and audio level indication during use. Visual signal strength feedback is paired with audio response to support precise alignment and tracing decisions in active field conditions.

Active Tracing with Transmitter Support

When used with a compatible transmitter, the RD8200 supports active tracing workflows by detecting applied signals on buried cables or pipes. This approach is commonly used when passive or radiated signals are insufficient for reliable identification, allowing targeted utility tracing in complex or congested environments.

Applications

• Underground utility locating prior to excavation
• Cable and pipe tracing during construction and maintenance work
• Infrastructure assessment and utility identification in mixed-utility areas
