About Pipe & Cable Locators
Schonstedt’s Pipe & Cable Locators (aka “utility locators” or “cable line detectors”) have been setting the standard for reliability and dependability in locating buried utilities: water pipes, sewer, cable, and gas lines—quickly and easily.
In standard applications, Pipe & Cable Locators utilize both a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter induces an electric current that circulates through an object creating a magnetic field, which is then detected by the receiver.
