Product Description

The Subsite 250 pipe and cable locator / Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) offers a simple and safe solution to finding and tracing buried services up to a depth of 4.6 metresGet a grip on what’s beneath your feet with the 250R/T system, one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods for locating and avoiding buried telephone, CATV, power, gas, and water lines. Consisting of a 250T transmitter and a 250R receiver with passive or active capabilities, this simple, safe, light-weight system features intuitive controls, an easy-to-read display, and depth estimation up to 4.6 m. Whether you use it passively or actively, the 250R/T will help you get a handle on any situation.

The Subsite 250 R/T pipe and cable locator operates on the principle of detecting electromagnetic emissions from metallic services

Audible and visual display for use in noisy conditions with operator friendly controls and high visibility instruction labels.
Power mode is used to locate all live cables with sufficient current flow.
Radio mode is used to locate any metallic service carrying a (VLF) very low frequency signal.
Active mode is used in conjunction with the Transmitter to locate and trace a specific service which is an Optional Accessory

The Subsite 250 pipe and cable locator / Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) was designed and built after consultation with engineers who used this type of equipment everyday.

Features

Simplified digital controls are arranged for easy operation.
Display is backlit & reinforced with a scratch-resistant coating for optimal visibility day, night, & well into the future.
Best-in-class dynamic range means the 250R/T can locate even when signals are extremely weak or strong.
Rugged design and moisture resistant cases stand up to long term use and tough weather conditions; housings are up to 2.5 times thicker in wearable areas than similar models.
Tones are derived from the actual signals radiating from pipes or cables, so even novice users can distinguish the signal from background noise.
Manufactured with 2/3 fewer components than similar models; fewer mechanical and electrical connections mean greater reliability.
With 1 Watt of power, the 250T is ten times more powerful than other transmitters in its class. It can apply 33-kHz signals via direct connect, induction clamp, or other optional accessories.

Note :
1	Power mode is used to locate all live cables with sufficient current flow
2	Radio mode is used to locate any metallic service carrying a (VLF) very low frequency signal
	The 250 has a specifically strong radio mode signal which makes it a very popular model
3	If the Metallic Pipe has a Current then the 150 can detect it in Power Passive mode
4	Active mode is used in conjunction with the Transmitter to locate and trace a specific service.
	The Transmitter is an Optional Accessory
5	The 950 has a large range of Transmitter frequencies which is used when cables are congested and there is a chance of “bleeding” i.e. current jumping from one cable to another
6	Beacon Mode is used for Non Metallic pipes where you create a signal by inserting the beacon / sonde into the non-metallic pipe e.g asbestos, PVC or plastic The beacon is an optional accessory and needs to be purchased separately
