Every vLoc-9800 receiver come standard with built-in 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. However the most popular fault find option is the VM-510FFL "Stand-Alone" A-Frame.

Cable faults are 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 DC 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.

Accessories can be a time saver when just the right tool for the job is needed. The right accessory can in some applications save hours of work. You will find that Vivax-Metrotech has the right accessory for almost every need.
