Vivax VM-850 Locator Kit

The VM-850 Locator Kit by Vivax-Metrotech is a groundbreaking utility locating system, designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of identifying buried utilities. Its operation at a lower frequency of 9.82kHz makes it particularly suitable for locating smaller diameter utilities such as CATV, power, and telephone lines. This frequency choice minimizes signal bleeding onto adjacent services, ensuring that the utility detection is as precise as possible.

Key Features of the VM-850 Locator Kit

Lower Frequency for Enhanced Precision

Operating at 9.82kHz, the VM-850 is optimized for smaller diameter utilities. This lower frequency is less prone to signal bleeding, making it ideal for environments with high utility congestion. It ensures that users can accurately detect CATV, power, and telephone lines without interference from neighboring lines.

Distance Sensitive Left/Right Guidance™

The VM-850 incorporates Distance Sensitive Left/Right Guidance™ technology, a feature that dramatically simplifies the process of locating buried utilities. By determining which antenna is receiving the strongest signal, it directs users precisely over the utility line, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in utility location.

User-Friendly Operation
