Next: RD8200 Radiodetection locator and TX10 transmitter underground pipe and cable fault3M Dynatel 2273XE underground cable fault locator Description
3M Dynatel 2273XE Advanced Optical/Cable Routing Depth and Outer Skin Fault Detector 3M, a US company with more than 30 years of positioning experience and 17 technologies in the field of routing positioning, launched the 2273XE pipeline locator in November 2023. The instrument is based on a microprocessor and advanced digital signal processing technology. It can quickly determine the direction and depth of underground pipelines, bringing convenience to pipeline detection and maintenance work for major operators and municipal engineering departments!
2273XE optical cable pipeline fault detector features:
1. Accurate underground pipeline detection 3M 2273XE advanced optical/cable routing depth and outer skin fault detector can help you determine the path and expected depth of power cables, CATV, communication cables and metal pipelines or non-metallic pipelines with tracking lines.
2. Cable/wire pair identification. 3M 2273XE Advanced Optical/Cable Routing Depth and Sheath Fault Detector has a cable identification function, which can teach the correct identification of cables and facilitate the re-identification of cables with lost identification tags.
3. Sheath damage shield grounding fault location.
3M 2273XE Advanced Optical/Cable Routing Depth and Sheath Fault Detector can apply signal tone to the tested cable, so that operators can easily identify and locate the location of cable sheath damage.
4. 3M Dynatel 2273XE has 7 built-in receiving antennas, which improves sensitivity and is more accurate and faster than previous models!
5. The built-in filter makes the instrument anti-interference!
6. The receiver provides five positioning modes: tracking view, directional peak, directional reverse peak (compass indication), differential peak, and a special peak value mode for weak signal detection.
