Enter the name for this tabbed section: Signal Direction
The vLocPro2-SD has all the rich features as the standard vLocPro2 with an addition of the new “Signal Direction” feature. The SD feature when used, synchronizes the transmitter and receiver to provide a direction indicator of the signal to be displayed on the color screen while locating. This information allows for a user to more easily determine if they are locating the correct target. This feature is used primarily for high value fiber optic communication cables in congested areas and transmission pipelines running through crowded corridors and compressor stations.
Enter the name for this tabbed section: Bluetooth/GPS
Every vLocPro2 receiver can be Bluetooth enabled by adding an on-board wireless Bluetooth module. Bluetooth allows for the vLocPro2 to be used with external devices like Global Positions Systems (GPS) and Mapping Utility Systems. When Bluetooth is added, simply pressing of the "i" button will automatically send the locate information to a Trimble GPS and merged with the coordinates which can then be used with GIS earth mapping overlay for accurate map grade utility surveys. Or when using the optional affordable HOLUX GPS accessory, the longitude and latitude coordinates can be merged with onboard data collection for utility site verification or easy utility mapping.

The new vLocML2 is the perfect locator for systems where EMS marker balls are used. The vLocML2 comes standard with all the features as the vLocPro2 but with a built-in lightweight tough carbon fiber encased antenna for accurate marker ball detection. The vLocML2 can be a dedicated marker ball locator, a full featured pipe & cable locator, or locate both marker balls and pipes & cables simultaneously.
The color display indicates the marker type, and is identified by both, a colored ICON and a number - the response is indicated by a large animated circular ball.

Every vLocPro2 receiver come standard with cable fault locating capabilities. The optional A-Frame accessory is all that is needed for easy and accurate above ground locating of cable sheath to ground faults. Cable faults is a common failure in the Telecom and Power industry, and never before has there been a cable fault locator that simultaneously locates cable, locates faults, and provide instant depth of fault when found, all in a single pass, saving time and money.
This system can find major and minor failures associated with power and telephone outages, or pin holes due to minute electrolysis or cable defects. A built-in resistance measure mode in the transmitter provides an accurate resistance measurement of the faulted conductor, making diagnosing and fixing out-of-service circuits an easier and quicker task.
