Signal transmitter 12 W with more than 100 frequencies and 100 h runtime - Leica Ultra 12 W Standard

A clean locate starts with the signal on the line. The Leica Ultra 12 W Standard delivers up to 12 W and couples it into cables and metallic pipes through direct connection, a signal clamp or broadcast induction. More than 100 selectable transmitter frequencies allow the setup to match line length, ground conditions and neighbouring services.

Key benefits

• Maximum output of 12 W for longer routes and difficult coupling, a clear margin over the 5 W version.
• More than 100 selectable transmitter frequencies, only the ones suited to the site are enabled in the menu and are stepped through with one button in the field.
• Four coupling methods in one unit, direct connection, dual output, signal clamp and broadcast induction, plus connection to a live line through the live power adapter.
• Readouts for current in mA, power in W, impedance in Ohm and voltage in V, so a poor earth or a poor coupling shows up immediately.
• Up to 100 hours of operation on ten alkaline D cells and around 80 hours on the lithium ion battery pack, with automatic shutdown after 2, 4 or 8 hours or always on.
• A built-in circuit breaker shuts the transmitter down if the leads are connected to a live cable.
• IP65 protection, working temperature from -20 to +50 °C, operation at 95 percent relative humidity without condensation.

Technical data

Applications

Active route locating in civil engineering, cable and pipeline construction and network operation, tracing power, gas, water and telecom lines, line identification through a signal clamp in chambers and cabinets. With the live power adapter the signal is applied to a live line, and a frequency above 8 kHz has to be selected, preferably 29 kHz.

Compatibility

The transmitter works with the Leica Ultra Standard and the Ultra Advanced locator. Signal clamps come in 80, 125 and 175 mm, the 125 mm clamp covers 3 kHz to 200 kHz and the 80 mm clamp 256 Hz to 83 kHz. Cable fault finding requires transmitter firmware v2.0 or higher and locator firmware v6.0 or higher.

Standards, origin and shipping

Conformity to FCC Part 15 and the applicable European directives, protection class IP65 to IEC 60529. The unit can generate voltages that may be dangerous, so open connections, the earth stake and the line connection have to be handled accordingly.
