Multiple Modes -
Peak - Displays the strongest response when directly above a cable. Depth and current measurements are also displayed. This mode is used for precise underground location, and tends to be the familiar one to most operators.
Peak+ - Works in the same way as peak mode, but adds guidance or null modes and alternates between them and peak mode for finding the target line quickly, while checking for the presence of multiple buried services which may require extra vigilance.
Guidance - Displays proportional guidance arrows and different audible tones to indicate if a buried utility is to the left or right of the user. Generally used for checking the direction of a utility, and useful in congested areas.
Broad Peak - Similar to Peak mode but better suited to locating weaker signals. Especially useful for locating deep services or when conventional peak mode is difficult, for instance due to interference.
Null - Arrows on the display and audible signals indicate the position of the cable relative to the user. Usually good for long distance locates in non-congested areas.
iLOC - The RD8100 locator can be specified with an advanced Bluetooth connection which allows the operator to control the transmitter output power and frequency from up to 450m away, cutting down trips back to the transmitter to change settings thus allowing the user to locate more efficiently and faster than ever before.
GPS and Usage Logging - On models equipped with GPS, the RD8100 can automatically capture key locate information each second allowing you to see how the locator was being used and where. The data generated by the RD8100 can be used for both best working practices development and also can be exported in multiple file formats, for example to Google Maps to show where the locates were performed. Data can be used internally, and also sent to partners and clients to show the locate details in an easy to understand format.
ECert - The calibration of the locator can be verified over the internet using the RD Manager software program. This prevents having to return the unit for calibration. Once the process is completed, a calibration report can be saved to a PC or printed off from the comfort of your home or office.
