M 130 – Electronic Valve Box Locator
The locator M 130 detects deeply and is hardly affected by metal pieces at the surface, humidity, and temperature variances. The one-button operation simplifies the handling of the instrument, continuous re-adjustment is not necessary. Special electronics reduce false signals caused by objects such as bottle-lids, beverage cans, or other small parts of metal.
As a result of the downward-directed search field, the detector can be used in immediate proximity to metal fences or parked cars. The one handheld unit is designed for use by one hand only and offers optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free working.
The strength of the signal allows reliable detection of the objects sought; even when the instrument is quite rapidly moved.
Typical use:
- At water authorities
- Location of valve boxes
- Recognition of valve keys, even when boxes are missing
- Search of underground re-hydrants
or at gas suppliers
- Search of covered condensate collectors
- Finding blow-off units at pipes’ ends
or in wastewater networks
- Finding manhole covers
- Detection of pits in winter
