Radiodetection TX-10 Transmitter

The Radiodetection TX-10 is the most powerful transmitter in the TX series, delivering 10W of output power for long-distance tracing and deep utility detection. Featuring a fault-find mode and a wide array of frequencies, it is designed to work seamlessly with the RD8200 and RD7200 locators in challenging environments.

High Power 10-Watt Output: Delivers maximum signal drive to locate highly resistive or deep-set utility paths across long distances.
Automatic Impedance Matching: Measures the target ground connection constantly to adjust power output for optimum tracking clarity.
Fault Find Mode Integration: Pairs with specialised external A-frames to pinpoint specific pipe insulation faults or jacket damage.
Dual Power Configuration: Operates on standard internal cells or connects directly to vehicle power outlets for constant field uptime.

Radiodetection RD8200 Cable and Pipe Locator

Full Description

The TX-10 Transmitter is a high-performance signal generator built for professional utility locators who require maximum range and precision. With a 10W power output-twice that of the TX-5-this unit excels at pushing signals through high-impedance ground conditions and along poorly insulated pipes. It features a constant current output across its entire frequency range, ensuring a stable signal for the locator to follow even over several kilometers. The TX-10 is equipped with a high-contrast LCD screen that provides real-time feedback on connection quality, output current, and battery status. A standout feature is the 8K Fault Find mode, which, when used with an A-frame accessory, allows technicians to pinpoint cable sheath damage to within a few inches. Housed in a rugged, IP65-rated case with a built-in accessory compartment, the TX-10 is the definitive choice for complex utility mapping and long-distance structural tracing.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Radiodetection Tx-10?

The Tx-10 is a premium 10-watt signal generator used to apply active, traceable frequencies onto buried metallic utilities, making them discoverable by advanced locators like the RD8200.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the Tx-10 is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, giving you access to maximum transmitting power for specific utility mapping contracts.

What is the main benefit of the 10-watt power output?

The high 10-watt power output allows the signal to travel significantly further along highly resistive, deep, or poorly grounded pipes and cables compared to standard transmitters.

What does the fault-find capability do on this transmitter?

When paired with an A-frame accessory, the Tx-10 can apply a specialised 8kHz fault-finding signal to locate structural insulation damage on buried cables down to 10cm.

Does it support multiple tracing frequencies?

Yes, it features a fully customizable frequency range, supporting over 30 distinct locating frequencies to handle highly complex and congested underground utility environments.

Can the Tx-10 apply a signal without a direct connection?

Yes, it features an induction mode to radiate signals downward through the ground, as well as direct connection and induction clamp modes for target lines.

What type of power source does the Tx-10 utilize?

The transmitter runs on eight standard D-cell alkaline batteries, providing up to 20 hours of intermittent site use depending on the chosen output power setting.

Is the Tx-10 casing built for harsh site environments?

Yes, the unit is housed in a rugged, high-impact casing rated to IP65, making it highly dust-tight and water-resistant against heavy rain and splashes.
