New Radiodetection RD8200 + Tx5 kit. Investigate complex utility networks with 21 active locating frequencies, Current Direction and survey measurements. The Tx5 transmitter is included. Supplied with the listed bag, receiver lithium-ion pack and mains charger. Current Direction compares the direction of a suitable transmitter signal to help distinguish a target line from parallel services. Peak+, Broad Peak and the other locating modes give trained operators different ways to assess the response. Use the listed compatible accessories and follow a complete safe locating and excavation procedure. A depth reading is not an all-clear.

Separate the target line in congested networks
Investigate complex utility networks with 21 active locating frequencies, Current Direction and survey measurements.

Current Direction compares the direction of a suitable transmitter signal to help distinguish a target line from parallel services. Peak+, Broad Peak and the other locating modes give trained operators different ways to assess the response.
A kit with the essentials brought together
The base package combines the RD8200 receiver, Tx5 transmitter with standard direct-connection lead, soft carry bag, receiver Li-ion battery and mains charger. The existing transmitter upgrade is a paid selection.
Locating, GPS logging or integrated mapping
RD7200 covers general utility locating with eight active frequencies. RD8200 adds broader frequency choice and Current Direction. RD8200G adds built-in GPS usage logging. RD8200SG integrates survey-grade GNSS. GPS usage records and corrected RTK positioning serve different purposes.
Apply and receive the right signal
For active tracing, transmitter and receiver must use a supported common frequency. Tx5 provides signal application and fault-finding signals; Tx10 and Tx10B also support Current Direction with a CD-capable receiver. Current Direction requires an appropriate Tx10 signal; the included Tx5 does not supply CD.
A 100 mm transmitter clamp applies a signal to a suitable cable. A 100 mm locator clamp receives the response to help investigate individual utilities. These clamps connect to different instruments. The direct-connection kit brings together the listed signal-connection accessories.
Fault finding and field accessories
For cable-sheath or pipeline-coating fault investigations, use the A-Frame with lead with a receiver and transmitter that both support Fault Find. It is a separate accessory unless itemised as included. The soft locator/transmitter bag keeps compatible equipment together in transit.
Rechargeable receiver power
Where not included in this offer, the compatible receiver Li-ion pack and matching mains charger provide a rechargeable option. Receiver and transmitter batteries are separate systems.
Use readings as part of a safe locating method
A locator detects electromagnetic responses. A silent or inconsistent reading does not prove that an area has no buried services. Compare signal behaviour, use the appropriate methods and follow your safe excavation procedure. Depth estimates do not establish that mechanical excavation is safe.
Questions about this offer
Is a transmitter included?
Yes. The Tx5 transmitter is included in the base offer. You can choose a transmitter upgrade at extra cost.
How does it differ from RD8200G?
The RD8200G adds built-in GPS and automatic usage logging. The standard RD8200 supports survey measurements but does not provide those onboard GPS usage records.
What is needed for Current Direction?
A CD-capable receiver and an appropriate Tx10 signal. The Tx5 included with this base kit does not generate CD.
