The Duct Hunter is a traceable duct rodder that offers a non-invasive solution for locating and mapping underground ducts and pipes. Save time by eliminating digging and trenching. The detectable fiberglass rod incorporates a copper trace wire that can be located at depths up to 10 feet. When used with a signal transmitter to energize the wire, an electromagnetic signal is then detected via hand-held receiver to trace the entire line. The Duct Hunter comes standard with a male end ferrule, pulling eye and accessory kit conveniently attached to the frame.
Sondes are small self-contained battery powered transmitters. Sondes are propelled through non-metallic pipes and ducts and can be located on the surface by a sonde locator or buried utility locator with a sonde mode. Sondes are also built into other products such as a sewer push camera, robotic crawler camera, or attached to a jetter hose. Sondes come in a variety of sizes which ties into how deep they can be located. Different frequencies are available which allow sondes to be located in metallic or non-metallic pipes and ducts
The vLoc3-Cam is the easiest to use sonde locator on the market today. The omni-directional antenna array allows for approaching the sonde from any position. The directional arrows will guide the user first to the front or rear locate point and then directly to the sondes position. The vLoc3-Cam includes multiple sonde frequencies making it compatible with the major push cameras and crawler cameras on the market. The Pushrod Trace mode shows a second display geared for tracing the path of the pushrod deployed in the pipe or tracing pipes with an optional portable transmitter. The vLoc3-Cam comes with two Passive locate modes of Power and Radio which will detect the presence of live power lines, CATV, telephone and some metallic pipes which radiate 50/60 Hz from nearby or overhead power lines. For active locating, with the use of a portable transmitter, the vLoc3-Cam comes with an 83.1kHz frequency for tracing the pushrod. This frequency is also ideal for water and gas utilities which generally are larger pipes with bell housings and gaskets as well as locating ungrounded small diameter drop wires and inducing signals through the soil, onto services when direct connecting is not an option.

The vScan utility and sonde locator has been designed to make buried utility and sonde detection a simple and cost-effective process. Worksite friendly controls combined with the latest electronic hardware and software make the vScan the ultimate utility avoidance tool. Main features and operational controls are in keeping with industry standards so minimal training is required. A large dot matrix display gives the vScan the ability to display signals in a clear and unique way. ABS moldings and rubber protection buffers ensure the vScan continues to give reliable service even in the harshest of conditions. The vScan Receiver comes standard with sonde/camera frequencies of 512Hz and 33KHz. 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 MyvScan software management tool allows easy transfer of data and allows the setting up of alarms, reporting, and configuration details. Use MyvScan to download free software upgrades for life ensuring your vScan is future proof and always up to date. A built-in calibration check routine ensures cost of ownership is kept to a minimum while maintaining safety standards.
