Ridgid Locators

The RIDGID 19238 NaviTrack Scout Locator is designed to solve the most demanding remote transmitter (sonde) locates using multi-directional locating technology. The NaviTrack Scout is ideal for users locating SeeSnake cameras and other sondes who occasionally need to locate energized lines.

Easier Locates: The NaviTrack Scout multi-directional antenna technology sees the entire signal all of the time. Simply maximize the signal strength and you have found the target. No nulls or false peaks to complicate the locate.

Accuracy: This locator verifies the locate position using a micro-mapping display to mark distinctive poles in front of and behind the target, insuring an accurate locate.

Auotmatic Depth: Depth is automatically calculated and displayed when over the target.

The RIDGID SeekTech SR-20 (21893) Hand-Held Utility Line Locator provides utility locating professionals the information they need to confidently determine the position of underground utilities. The SR-20's omnidirectional antenna system measures electromagnetic signals and calculates the signal's orientation strength, depth, and degree of distortion or interference. The display and the multidimensional audio cues give users a locating experience that is immediately intuitive.

For an added degree of confidence, the SR-20 continuously monitors the electromagnetic field for interference from conflicting signals that could distort its shape. When the SR-20 detects distortion, the SR-20 emits audio cues and displays on-screen guidance so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid mismarking the utility's position

The RIDGID SeekTech SR-24 (44473) Utility Line Locator is a precision utility locating instrument with GPS and Bluetooth technology for easy integration with external data capture devices, including smart phones, tablets, and high precision GPS instruments.

The SR-24's omnidirectional antennas capture the complete signal field, making it easy to acquire the signal and trace its path. The receiver displays the utility's position and direction on the display, providing an intuitive locating experience. For added confidence, audio and visual warnings notify the operator if the shape of the signal field is being distorted, ensuring that appropriate action can be taken to avoid mismarking the utility's position.

The RIDGID SeekTech SR-60 (22163) Hand-Held Utility Line Locator provides fast, easy, and versatile performance for locating underground cables and pipes. The SR-60 locator is the ideal choice for fast confident locates even under tough conditions (such as poor conductors, poor soil conditions, or poor grounding).

The SR-60 operates in three distinct modes. They are:

1. Active Line Trace Mode, used when a chosen frequency can be put onto a long conductor using a Line Transmitter, for locating conductive pipes, lines, or cables.

2. Passive Trace Mode, used for tracing electrical lines that are already carrying 60 Hz current (U.S.), 50 Hz current (Europe), or radio frequencies.

3. Sonde Mode, used for locating Sondes in pipes, conduits, or tunnels that are nonconductive or cannot otherwise be traced.

Beginning operators or experienced operators can use the SR-60 with equal ease. While the SR-60 offers advanced features that make the most complex locate easier, many of its features can be turned off or hidden, making the SR-60 simple to use in basic locating in uncomplicated situations.

The RIDGID SeekTech ST-305 (21898) Pipe and Cable Line Transmitter (5 Watts) is used to energize a pipe or line with an "active" electrical signal, so that the underground line may be traced with a compatible receiver (such as the SeekTech SR-20). This allows the line's location to be correctly marked so it can be exposed for repair or avoided during excavation.

The ST-305 line transmitter can apply an active tracing signal to a target conductor in three ways:

Direct Connect: The transmitter's leads are connected directly to the target conductor and a suitable ground. The ST-305 line transmitter is capable of dual-frequency transmission (sending two frequencies onto a line simultaneously) in direct-connect mode.

Inductive Clamp (optional accessory): The jaws of the inductive clamp (sold separately) encircle the target conductor; there is no metal-to-metal contact.

Inductive Mode (internal coils): The transmitter is placed over and in-line with a conductor. Its internal antenna generates a dipole field which energizes the target conductor below ground, inducing a current into the target conductor

The RIDGID SeekTech ST-33Q+ (49338) Line Transmitter with Bluetooth (10 Watts) is the ideal transmitter for inducing current onto a target line. It will also direct connect using any frequency from 10Hz to 490kHz with power up to 10 Watts. The ST-33Q+ also allows the flexibility of using D-Cell alkaline batteries or 18V rechargeable RIDGID batteries for minimal interruptions on the job. The Bluetooth feature on the ST-33Q+ allows you to finish complex locates faster by wirelessly changing the transmitted frequency from the SR-24 receiver from up to 200 yards away.

Distance

With the ST-33Q+, users can induce over 8 times more current than traditional transmitters. More current means you can walk and trace further than ever before.

Versatility

Power options include RIDGID's Lithium-Ion 18V rechargeable battery, six D-cell batteries, or an external 10-28 VDC power source.

Accuracy

The ST-33Q+ allows users to onduce more current at lower frequencies. Lower frequencies are less prone to jump onto other lines in congested areas reducing distortion and increasing accuracy.

Speed

Use with a SR-24 Bluetooth-enabled locator, to control the ST-33Q+ settings wirelessly from the SR-24 receiver. The transmitted frequency can be remotely changed from up to 200 yards away.

The RIDGID SeekTech ST-510 (21903) Pipe and Cable Line Transmitter (10 Watts) is used to generate an "active" signal on a metallic underground line so that it may be traced with a compatible receiver (such as the SeekTech SR-20 or SR-60). This allows the line's location to be correctly marked so it can be exposed for repair or avoided during excavation.

The ST-510 line transmitter can apply an active tracing signal to a target conductor in three ways:

Direct Connect Method: The transmitter's leads are connected directly to the target conductor and a suitable ground.

Inductive Clamp Method (optional accessory): The jaws of the inductive clamp (sold separately) encircle the target conductor; there is no metal-to-metal contact

Inductive Mode: The transmitter is placed over and in-line with a conductor. Its internal antenna induces a signal onto the target conductor.

The RIDGID 53068 MR-10 Magnetic Locator with Case is a highly sensitive handheld locator specifically designed to detect the magnetic field from ferrous objects, such as buried curb stops, property markers, valve boxes, manhole or vault covers, well casings, and other iron and steel objects.

The locator responds to the difference in the magnetic field strength between two sensors. The Magnetic Locator provides an audio signal, and visual indications of both signal strength and polarity on detecting presence of a ferrous object.

The RIDGID 56613 A-Frame Fault Locator System is a highly sensitive transmitter and receiver specifically designed to detect the location of a path to ground fault (Direct Fault Finding) in the insulation of a buried conductor (such as a wire or cable). Damaged insulation, severed conductors, and other faults with ground leakage are easily and precisely located.

The model FT-103 Transmitter connects to the insulated conductor and establishes a current flow, the current leaks to ground through the insulation fault and back to the ground stake. The model FR-30 Receiver detects the current flow to ground through the insulation fault. The receiver provides audio and visual indications of both signal strength and direction to assist in detecting and locating the fault. For the A-Frame fault detector to work, the conductor must be in contact with the earth - it will not work with conductors in conduit.

Additionally, the transmitter can be used to apply a signal to the conductor for path locating with other receivers, such as the RIDGID SeekTech or NaviTrack Locators. This can be done by direct connect and inductive methods. Multiple frequencies and power levels are provided.

The RIDGID SeekTech KIT (46918) Utility Locating Kit includes the SeekTech SR-20 Line Locator, SeekTech ST-305 Transmitter, and SeekTech 4" Inductive Signal Clamp. The kit performs fast and easy locating of underground cables and pipes.

The included SeekTech Inductive Signal Clamp allows users to apply a signal to a cable or pipe that is 4" or less in diameter when it is not possible to connect the transmitter's leads directly to the target conductor. When its jaws are closed around a cable or pipe, the clamp couples the transmitted signal onto the conductor by induction. Once the signal is applied to a conductor, it can be traced using a compatible receiver, such as the included SeekTech SR-20. The included SeekTech ST-305 Line Transmitter can be used as a power source for the clamp.
