Product description

HC-8500/HC-8500A cable detector is a comprehensive instrument, used to track the pipeline route, measure the depth of the underground pipeline and identify the target pipeline.

Features

1. Detection Mode: Classic Mode, Plan View Mode, Signal Curve Mode

Classic Mode 

Compass, direction and signal amplitude display, intuitively showing the left and right directions of the pipeline.

Plan View Mode

360° all-round pipeline path indication, continuously displaying depth, current and relative position of the pipeline. The interface is simple and intuitive.

Signal Curve Mode

It can display historical signal strength curves and find the location of cables by observing changes in signal strength curves at different locations.

2. Current direction identification for some frequencies

it can eliminate adjacent line interference and prevent tracking errors by calibrating the current direction.

3. Sweep Test

Users can select the appropriate signal frequency for pipeline measurement through the frequency sweep results to avoid co-frequency interference.

4. 12 active detection frequencies and 4 passive detection frequencies

5. Multiple signal output methods for the transmitter: direct output, signal coupling, induction method.

6. Amplified power output for the transmitter, fully automatic impedance matching, and fully automatic protection.

7. Built-in light under the instrument to facilitate night operations
