The XT-512 is a single frequency sonde locator which operates at 512 Hz and offers power cable detection (passive) at 50 or 60 Hz.Â

For enhanced capabilities, we recommend the Rex (stand-alone) locator or the full u-LOCATE+ kit, as we consolidate our Pipe & Cable Locator Range around these product lines.
