RD8000     Cable and Pipe Locator

The RD8000PDL and PXL are powerful successors to the industry standard RD4000PDL and PXL pipe and cable locators. TheRD8000 improves on speed, accuracy and reliability yet remains a cost-effective solution for any application delivering unique user features. Designed with the latest, patented digital firmware, RD8000 delivers a highly controllable and reliable locate solution to service any industry, anywhere in the world.

Ergonomics: The RD8000 is ergonomically designed to deliver a superior performing locator that provides the user with a light weight, energy efficient and exceptionally well balanced tool. The RD8000 is 28% lighter than the industry standard RD4000,
which encourages extended use. Despite its weight and form, the RD8000 retains the environmental durability associated with an IP54 rating, meaning you can operate it in almost any environment. The receiver and transmitter feature a large, high contrast, backlit LCD screen that provides the user with clear information in any light conditions. The intuitive and responsive interface is designed so the operator can access any feature with ease. The keypad uses a self explanatory icon set that is consistent on both the transmitter and the receiver.

Centros™: For 30 years Radiodetection has revolutionized cable locator design with over 50 software and hardware patents as part of our commitment to product improvement. This research has developed into a single entity called Centros™. Centros™ combines new and innovative algorithms with established software on a highperformance processor core. Centros™ improves the accuracy and repeatability of measurements and delivers unprecedented responsiveness in the field. Centros™ delivers powerful signal filtering and analysis allowing continued operation even in the most electrically noisy environments. Centros™ provides our customers with the most powerful measurement engine of any cable and pipe locator.

iLOC™: iLOC™ is an advanced long range Bluetooth® link between the RD8000 locator and transmitter that helps save the operator time and effort. iLOC allows the operator to control the transmitter remotely using a number of unique features. With iLOC you can spend less time walking and more time locating. iLOC™ operates at distances up to 800 meters (875 yards) line of sight providing an operator with a fast and unique means of conducting a survey.

iLOC applications supported are:

n SideStep™ – enables an operator to move the transmitter frequency slightly above the selected frequency enabling
locates in areas prone to interference or where multiple operators are locating.

n Frequency Select – choose an active frequency on the RD8000 and synchronously change the transmitter frequency to match.

n Power Management – an operator can adjust the output power of the transmitter to optimize output signal, leading to efficient use of transmitter batteries.

n Transmitter remote sleep/wake – enter standby mode to prolong battery life. Conveniently wake the transmitter with a simple key press on the receiver. Transmitter can be set to standby mode each time passive location is carried out.
