VIVAX - MetroTech have strengthened the location system range with the launch of two new systems; the vLocML and the vLocDM + A-frame.

The vLocML

The vLocML is a multi-purpose locator with a factory installed option to locate the various buried “markers” used in our industry. The unit is recognizable by the carbon fiber collar near the base of the antenna tube. Other manufacturers use clumsy fold down antennas, or heavy internal ferrite antennas. The best solution is a permanently mounted lightweight carbon fiber encased antenna.

The vLocML provides the choice of locating one type of marker only, or all markers simultaneously. One can also choose to look only for markers, or locate and search for markers at the same time.

The locator display indicates the marker type it is identified by both an ICON and a number - the response is indicated by a large circular ball.

The vLocDM + A-frame

The vLocDM is used to collect data for pipeline coating evaluation. Optional Bluetooth/GPS enables detailed and accurate locate and location data to be stored.

The locater response is displayed in a new simplified and intuitive way, incorporating the signal response, both left/right alignment (compass) data.
