A-frame for locating sheath faults on buried cables - Leica ULTRA

A sheath fault gives nothing away at the surface. Without narrowing it down, digging happens on suspicion, usually more than once. The Leica ULTRA A-frame works together with the locator and the signal transmitter and makes the fault current in the ground measurable, so the dig point is fixed before the first spade goes in.

Benefits

• Fault pinpointing instead of trial trenches, the manufacturer lists the A-frame for detecting sheath faults on buried cables, so excavation is targeted.
• Works with equipment already on the truck, the ULTRA locator and signal transmitter stay the basis, no second measuring system is needed.
• Measured from the surface, the frame is pushed into the ground above the route and the cable stays untouched until the fault is found.
• Field build, 2.09 kg shipping weight can be carried along the whole length of the route.
• Original accessory with EAN 7640180530312, unambiguously assigned to the ULTRA system.

Technical data

Applications

Narrowing down sheath and insulation faults on power and control cables in the distribution network, fault finding on street lighting and signalling cables, checks after excavation work and machine damage, maintenance of cable routes in industrial plants.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The manufacturer specifies the A-frame for use with the Leica ULTRA locator and the ULTRA signal transmitter. Both instruments are a precondition, because the frame generates no signal of its own and carries no display. The A-frame is supplied on its own, locator, transmitter and accessories are not included.
