Radiodetection RD7100-DLG with TX-5 Transmitter Pipe and Cable Locator System with 2-inch Inductive clamp

Radiodetection RD7100-DLG Utility Locator with TX-5 Transmitter

The Radiodetection RD7100-DLG is a professional utility locator paired with a TX-5 transmitter for active pipe and cable locating. The system supports controlled signal application for tracing buried utilities where method selection and signal control are required.

Active Pipe and Cable Locating

• Supports transmitter-based active locating for buried pipes and cables
• Enables deliberate signal placement to improve trace reliability
• Intended for locating scenarios where passive detection is not sufficient

Inductive Signal Application Using Clamp Method

• Applies transmitter signal via an inductive clamp positioned around the target conductor
• Allows locating without direct electrical connection to the utility
• Supports tracing of live, bundled, or otherwise inaccessible cables

System Architecture

The RD7100-DLG receiver is designed for handheld field operation and works in conjunction with the TX-5 transmitter to support multiple active locating methods. The system architecture allows operators to select the appropriate signal application technique based on access conditions and utility type.

Applications

• Active tracing of buried power, telecom, and metallic utility lines
• Line identification and route verification prior to excavation
• Utility separation and confirmation in congested underground environments
