Vivax Metrotech vScanBRx Standard Receiver with Bluetooth

The vScan utility avoidance tool has been designed to make buried utility detection a simple and cost-effective process. You don’t need to be an electronics expert to get the most out of the vScan‘s features. Main features and operational controls are in keeping with industry standards so minimal training is required.

Together with the dual frequency transmitter, data logging, optional metal manhole cover detector, GPS, and Bluetooth, the vScan is available in various models to suit all applications.

The vScan locator kits are shipped with a spacious canvas carry bag which fits the receiver, transmitter, leads and any optional accessories.

The vScan and vScanM represent the latest in Cable Avoidance Tools. Its features surpass similar products and has a number of unique attributes that ensue increased safety to operators and infrastructure.

Key Features

• Large, high resolution, high contrast dot matrix display: makes signal interpretation simple and intuitive.
• Auto backlight: for use after dusk.
• Compass line direction indicator: ensures correct alignment over utility
• Visual, audible and vibration alerts: alerts can be set for: shallow cable, overload, excessive swinging and overhead cables.
• Passive signals: power, radio and also as a free option, cathodic protection (CP) 100Hz.
• Current measurement: helps positively identify the targeted line.
• Simple two button operation: on/off and information (such as depth and current).
• Movable speaker: allows the user to place the speaker against the ear while holding the receiver at arm’s length
• Robust ABS casing with rubber protection bumpers for all site condition use.
• 2GB auto data logging: helps identify usage and training needs.

Cost savings: Self-test/calibration: No requirement to send the equipment for regular and expensive test and calibration, new patented approach means the operator can undertake tests simply and results are recorded internally for later inspection or certificate printing.

This is available at no extra charge.

Future proofing: Free software updates through the "MyvScan" data management tool which is supplied as standard with the equipment. Software updates available for the lifetime of the product. Each time the unit is connected to MyvScan, software updates are automatically checked for and the user is given the option of updating or not.

Data Logging: Full data logging functionality to identify correct usage and training requirements which increases efficiency of the operator. Can also be used to identify if the unit was being used prior to a cable strike for instance.

GPS: Internal GPS to log usage and areas of usage Supervisor set up: Units are fully configurable through MyvScan data management tool and can be locked using a Dongle. This ensures the equipment is tailored to your requirements only, this simplifies the equipment and product training which speeds up the locate process. Dot Matrix display: This allows customised start up screens (Add your company logo/telephone no for example) so that equipment is less likely to be accidentally stolen by other contractors etc.

Rechargeable Li-ion batteries: Li-Ion batteries are the most efficient and long lasting batteries available today. Alternatively, standard alkaline batteries can be used. Highly efficient electronics ensure extended usage between charges reducing downtime.

Operational benefits

Full range of operating modes:

Radio and Power passive modes are supplemented with 33kHz and 131kHz active modes.

Metal cover location (Optional) Detects lost manholes and other metallic objects which is unique in cable avoidance tools. Note, this is a cost saving as it reduces the number of locate devices required by the operator. Normally they would need to carry a metal detector as well as a cable avoidance tool.

Compass Line orientation indicator. Makes the interpretation of signals much easier to understand and encourages the use of the transmitter. Up to now this has only been available on high end cable locators, this is unique to cable avoidance tools.

Vibration alerts: Alerts such as erroneous signals, incorrect usage etc. are reported to the user through a unique vibration device in the handle and is intended to report without interfering with the use of the locator. Alerts can also be indicated visually and audibly. Also unique. (See brochure for list of alerts)

Depth and Current Measurements: Depth and current measurements ensure that the correct line is located and also helps planning maintenance work. (The more information available the more efficient excavations etc.) Note that this feature can be disabled if it does not meet the companies work practices. Large dot matrix display with auto backlight: This helps the user to accurately read the display that on smaller screens can seem cluttered and confusing. The high resolution high contrast display ensures full functionality in all light conditions. Points of Interest: By double clicking a button, the logged points can be saved as separate items and can be filtered later. For example, if a particular section of cable needed to be reviewed this can be separately identified making reviewing simpler and quicker.
