Sonel Test & Measurement LKZ-1000

Product Highlights

Look before you dig! The LKZ-1000 allows construction crews to:

• Detect underground energized (live) wires
• Detect de-energized underground wires
• Trace metallic or non-conductive pipes
• Trace a determined cable
• Determine the depth of a cable

The LKZ-1000 cable & pipe locator consists of an improved LKN-1000 transmitter and the LKO-1000 receiver that together deliver significantly higher detection technology to:

• Detect underground services at greater depths
• Give more accurate depth estimation
• Detect in the presence of high signal interference

LKZ-1000 Technology:

• Four adjustable output levels with maximum output level of 1 W
• Choice of 3 tracing signals, 8 kHz or 33 kHz, or at 8 kHz and 33 kHz together
• Locates cables up to 3 m, 10 ft deep
• Trace non-conductive pipelines using a “floating” probe
• Transmitter detection of de-energized underground wires using a galvanized, inductive, or clamp-based connection
• Trace metallic or non-conductive pipes using an additional probe
• Location by connecting the transmitter directly to an object that is not live
• Location by using an adapter that connects the transmitter to an AC outlet

User-friendly Design Features:

• Compact and light-weight for less fatigue when operating for long periods
• Sensibly located control buttons for hand operation
• Easy-to-view backlit LCD with contrast + auto on-off
• Clear visual and audio signals for easier operation
• Automatic adjustment of detection sensitivity
• 5 operating modes
• Durable waterproof design for harsh outdoor conditions; protection rating of IP65
• Self-test function to test the LKN-1000 before use
• Shallow cable-depth warning indicator
• Cable direction indication
• Audio tones to facilitate locating or tracing
• Adjustment of transmitter power and frequency

Passive or Active Operating Modes:

• Passive POWER with 50 Hz or 60 Hz – enables location of live wires and cables
• Passive RADIO (15-30 kHz) – for quick, non-selective location of an underground metallic installation
• Active with transmitter (8 kHz and 33 kHz), enables detection using the inductive mode; just place the transmitter over the traced object
