Vivax VM-550 Drop Locator Kit | Multi-Frequency Utility Detection | Pushbutton Depth Measurement

The Vivax VM-550 Drop Locator Kit, a core component of the VM 500 Series, is engineered for industrial-grade utility locating across complex environments. This versatile system integrates a 50/60Hz passive power frequency with three distinct active frequencies to facilitate the detection of active power cables and technical short-range tracing tasks with a 1-Watt output capacity.

How does the VM-550 facilitate utility detection?

The system utilizes a 50/60Hz passive power locating frequency along with three active frequencies to provide comprehensive coverage for buried lines. This allows operators to toggle between passive and active locate modes to ensure accuracy in diverse utility density scenarios.

What are the fault-finding capabilities of this kit?

The included 1-Watt transmitter features a specialized 8kHz Fault-find frequency designed specifically for detecting ground-to-sheath faults. This capability is fully optimized when paired with a compatible stand-alone A-frame accessory for precise failure point identification.

Can the signal transmitter be used with different induction methods?

Yes, the 1-Watt Transmitter supports signal application via direct connection or induction, providing flexibility based on utility access. For non-conductive access, optional Induction Clamps can be utilized to safely induce a signal onto a specific line.

Accessories & Compatibility:

• Expand fault-finding precision with the VM-510FFL+ Fault Locator.
• Induce signals onto lines using Vivax 2" Transmitter Clamps or Vivax 4" Transmitter Clamps.
• Maintain system power with the Vivax Battery Charger Kit.
