Description
 

Locate wires and cables

The Sonel LKZ-720 cable and wire locator is a device consisting of the LKN-720 transmitter and the LKO-720 receiver. This instrument is dedicated to finding cables and other underground infrastructures. The LKZ-720 allows the location of both metallic objects (cables) and non-conductive objects (PVC pipes, concrete, etc.). The locator is mainly dedicated to use in the energy and installation industry, among others.

Features

• Detection of wires and cables (live or not).
• Tracing underground cables.
• Tracing conductive water and heating pipelines.
• Flow and accurate locating the object.
• Phase detection mode.
• Operation in wide range of rated voltage, up to 500 V RMS.
• Five modes of wire tracer operation: voltage, current, current-voltage, power and clamp.
• Additional accessories enable precise localization - such as contact or non-contact probes and measurement clamp.

Special features

LKO-720

• Receiver operation with max. 4 transmitters at the same time to locate interruptions or distinguish wires.
• Receiving status information from the LKN-720 transmitter.
• The function 3D - detecting the direction of current.
• A LED torch.
• Headphone socket.
• Software upgrade via USB.
• Screen backlight for work in dark.

LKN-720

• 4 codes of the transmitted signal.
• Transmission of information about the transmitter settings and battery charge level.
• Measurement of voltage at the object to 500 V RMS.
• Three levels of amplification.
• Automatic or manual selection of operation modes.
• Screen backlight for work in dark.

Application

Detection and tracing cables in ceilings, walls and floors

In response to the needs of customers, the LKO-720 has a specially designed 3D antenna that raises the precision of the wire tracing. Determine direction of wires in concrete up to 5 cm will not be a problem now.

Multi-transmitter operation

LKZ enables operation work with four transmitters at the same time. The multi-transmitter operation of the system enables precise location of breaks in an electric system and identify individual cores in the cable or cables in a trench.

Locating power points and switches in buildings

Specially modulated and coded signal generated by the LKN-720 transmitter allows to locate and identify sockets and switches in energized and de-energized circuits.

Identification of fuses on the distribution board

Thanks to the precise sensor in LKO-720 and additional contact and non-contact probes, identify of breakers and fuses now will be easily and time-saving.

Possibility to tracing in no access conductors

LKO-720 with C-8 clamp used in the current mode or in other mode forcing current flow, allows to uniquely identify wire or cable with no physical connection to it.

Non-contact detection of live cables

LKO-720 allows to precisely detect energized wires in air and concrete without additional probes. 

Additional areas of use

• detection of breaks in cables and wires
• locating short circuits between leads
• tracing shielded cables
• tracing cables in metal ducts
• tracing underground cables
• tracing conductive water and heating pipelines
