Sonel LKZ-1000 Underground Cable Locator Look Before You Dig! The LKZ-1000 allows construction crews to detect underground energized (live) conductors and de-energized underground cables, trace metallic or non-conductive pipes, trace a determined cable, and determine the depth of a cable. The LKZ-1000 locator consists of an improved transmitter and receiver that together deliver significantly higher detection technology to find underground services at greater depths, give more accurate depth estimation, and detect in the presence of high signal interference. Non-conductive pipes can be traced with an additional probe accessory. The LKZ-1000 locates cables up to 10 feet deep. The LKZ-1000 also warns when it finds cables at shallow depths. Its user-friendly design consists of sensibly located control buttons for hand operation, a backlit LCD with contrast + auto on-off. Clear visual and audio signals guide the operator when tracing, and in determining cable route direction. It is compact and light-weight for less fatigue when operating for long periods. The durable waterproof design is good for harsh outdoor conditions; it comes with a protection rating of IP65. The LKZ-1000 is also available for rent.

Sonel LKZ-720 Cable, Wires, and Conduit Tracer The LKZ-720 is an essential tool for electrical technicians, contractors, and maintenance engineers for locating cables, wires, and conduits. It can be used to detect cables in ceilings, walls, and floors, trace cables in building installations, and trace underground cables. Cables may be shielded, or in conduits and metal ducts. It can be used to detect live cables and current flow direction, plus indicate breaks in cables or short-circuits between wires. Other elements in electrical distribution systems can be located such as power sources and switches, as well as fuses and breakers on panels and distribution boards. In non-electrical applications it will also trace conductive water and heating pipes. The LKZ-720 consists of a transmitter and receiver. It has 5 modes of operation - voltage, current, current-voltage, power, and current lamp. Using a headphone jack audio tones can be used to aid tracing. The backlit display and built-in LED flashlight is handy for working in low-light areas, and with congested wire bundles. The receiver can operate with up to four transmitters to locate interruptions or distinguish wires. The user may set 3 levels of transmitter amplification or choose automatic operation. It is designed for operation on systems up to 500V RMS. Contact Sonel at 408 898 2215 or www.soneltest.com.
