Vivax-Metrotech Loc3-10SiS | 10-Watt Precision Transmitter | SiS & SD Line Identification

The Loc3-10SiS Transmitter by Vivax-Metrotech is a sophisticated 10-watt signal generator designed specifically for professional utility locating. As a core component of the vLoc3-5000 ecosystem, this transmitter is built to overcome the challenges of congested underground networks by providing definitive line identification through advanced Signal Direction and Signal Select technologies. By measuring line parameters in absolute units—including volts, ohms, amps, and watts—operators gain critical data regarding the integrity and quality of the complete line circuit.

How does Signal Select (SiS) improve utility locating?

The SiS feature provides a verified method for positively identifying target utility lines in crowded environments by communicating a unique coded signal to the receiver. This allows the vLoc3-5000 to confirm the specific utility being traced, eliminating the risk of accidental signal bleed-over or coupling onto adjacent services.

What are the benefits of the 10-Watt power output?

The 10-watt output provides high-capacity signal strength necessary for long-distance tracing and deep utility detection. This power is managed through an intelligent interface that monitors line resistance and real-time power delivery to ensure maximum efficiency during field operations.

Can the Loc3-10SiS transmitter be controlled remotely?

Yes, the unit supports the Tx-Link feature, which allows the operator to control transmitter functions directly from the receiver at distances up to 985 ft. (300m). This eliminates the need to return to the transmitter to change frequencies or power settings, significantly increasing field productivity.
