RFID reader for locating passive marker balls underground - Leica ULTRA

Plastic pipes and dead routes cannot be followed electromagnetically. That is exactly why passive RFID marker balls are buried over joints, tees and valve points during installation. The Leica RFID reader picks those markers up and makes the documented point findable again, with no need for the line itself to carry a signal.

Benefits

• Locating without a line signal, the marker is excited passively, so the line itself need be neither metallic nor energised.
• Point accurate recovery, joints, tees and valve points are found where they were documented at installation.
• Complements electromagnetic locating, in the crew the reader works alongside the ULTRA locator and signal transmitter.
• Field instrument with its own power, the master data records a battery in the product, so no separate transmitter is required.
• Original instrument with EAN 7640180530374, ordered without confusion with third party marker systems.
