FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Radiodetection RD8200?

The RD8200 is a premium, multi-frequency locator designed for utility professionals to accurately trace, identify, and measure the depth of complex underground cable and pipe networks.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the RD8200 is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing access to top-tier utility surveying technology without high upfront purchasing costs.

What is the benefit of the RD8200’s multi-frequency capability?

It features 22 locating frequencies and 5 sonde frequencies, allowing operators to choose the optimal frequency to trace specific utilities or overcome signal bleed in congested environments.

How does the integrated data logging feature work?

The RD8200 automatically logs usage parameters and GPS positional data every second, which can be downloaded via Bluetooth or USB to evaluate field operation quality.

What is the purpose of the Swing Warning system?

The locator features an internal gyroscopic sensor that warns the operator with a display alert if they are swinging the device excessively, ensuring proper utility sweeping technique.

Does it feature a strike alert function for shallow cables?

Yes, the StrikeAlert feature provides an instant audible and visual warning on the screen if it detects a shallow, live power cable buried less than 0.3 metres deep.

What is the maximum depth range of this locator?

The digital depth readout can accurately measure down to 6 metres under standard line tracing conditions, and up to 10 metres when tracking a compatible deep sonde.

Can it locate non-metallic utility lines?

It can only detect metallic lines directly; however, you can locate plastic or clay pipes by utilizing a traceable flexitrace line or inserting a transmitting sonde.

What type of power source does the RD8200 use?

The unit operates on two standard D-cell alkaline batteries, providing up to 30 hours of continuous site use, or it can be fitted with a rechargeable Lithium-ion pack.

How often should the RD8200 undergo calibration?

To maintain regulatory compliance and high precision, the RD8200 requires a full professional calibration verification check every 12 months.
