The PL-1500 pipe and cable locator is a single frequency locator that comes in a 8 kHz Low or a 83 kHz High model. The Pl-1500 is a very durable unit that is a work of art in its simplicity of use and sophistication of operation. There are no menus to learn; just three ways of applying a signal (conductive, clamp and inductive, which not all locators offer). So you're sure to locate all utilities. Plus, the PL-1500 is lightweight, compact and designed to withstand the everyday demands you place on it.

Features |
PL-1500 High transmitter has 1.0 Watt power output in the Direct Connection mode. |
PL-1500 receivers weigh just 3.5 pounds, with large, easy-to-read LCDs and thumb-controlled switches. |
The single vertical bar (line) in the receiver is the "peak hold" feature. The peak hold shows the maximum signal measured in the last three seconds. |
Press the PL-1500 receiver's "depth" switch and the depth is displayed (down to 16 feet deep). |
PL-1500 transmitters show the actual, measured output current in the Direct Connection mode. If the output current is low, just increase the output power level or move the ground stake. |
