PATHFINDER PLS ®

The Pathfinder PLS is RYCOM’s Precision Locating System for the damage prevention specialist…

  • 3D Antenna Array
  • Frequency FLEX™
  • 12 watt transmitter
  • Over 40 standard frequencies
  • 4 year warranty with registration

Built on a proven design, and with Pathfinder SAF Technology™ at its core, the Pathfinder PLS® offers RYCOM’s most advanced signal acquisition and filtering technology. The Pathfinder PLS® cable & pipe locator offers utility locators FrequencyFlex™ allowing users to adapt the system to their specific needs. Multiple active frequencies allow the user to accurately locate with a minimum of interference while maintaining the ability continue locating past faults and around conduit bends. Passive frequencies identify “live” and charged lines by their naturally occurring electromagnetic fields. The Pathfinder PLS® offers multiple passive frequencies — 50Hz, 60Hz, Radio Frequency, Cathodic Protection Rectifier & CATV — allowing line locating without the use of a transmitter.

The STICK™

The STICK Pathfinder Locating System is RYCOM’s low cost solution with premium performance.

  • Metal Detection & Cable Locating
  • Compact & lightweight
  • Over 14 pre-programmed locate frequencies
  • 4 year warranty with registration

Built with Pathfinder SAF Technology™ at its core, the Stick offers RYCOM’s most ophisticated technology in an economical package. Pathfinder SAF Technology™ is the heart of our premium locators, now RYCOM is applying this proven technology throughout the entire product line. From crowded easements, to long runs of pipe, to the most demanding of locating environments, users can depend on The Stick. Dependability is not only driven by the internal technology, but The Stick is built to last with an aluminum housing and sealed against weather. The ruggedly designed and well balanced receiver includes an LCD screen providing relative and actual signal strength, as well as a speaker for variable audio pitch. A peaking signal response allows the user to minimize interference and maintain the locate on the target conductor. The Stick cable and pipe locator offers multiple active frequencies — from 50Hz to 82kHz — ensuring flexibility to match the needs of the most complicated locating environments.

CLAMPMITTER™ Inductive Coupler

The Clampmitter is a wireless inductive coupler.

  • Internal transmit circuitry eliminates wire
  • 3 Coupling Frequencies
  • 14 hours of continuous operation
  • Output power equivalent to wired coupler model

The CLAMPMITTER™ is a unique tool for inductive coupling. This self-contained inductive transmitter increases productivity, promotes safety and simplifies locates by condensing the transmitter and inductive coupler into one cordless package. Whether climbing down a manhole or accessing a utility box, the Clampmitter is an easy alternative to suiting up with a full transmitter and wired coupler.Eliminates the risks of hauling heavy transmitter boxes down aging manhole laddersRemoves the hazards of tripping/falling over long cords in unstable job sitesLends itself as a back-up transmitter when your line transmitter’s battery goes down in the fieldAllows the user to complete more than one locate at onceRemoving the cord permits the user to easily lock the unit inside manholes and switchgearsEliminating theft risks and the need for more than one user to stand watchRecharges with ease using a standard USB supplyAffordable price point to add to budgetary plansMade in the USA

THE STAFF FAULT FINDER

The STAFF fault finder is designed to meet the demands of the professional troubleshooter but its simplicity and price make it a tool for anyone needing to locate cable faults. Arrows on the LCD screen direct the user to the fault with pinpoint accuracy. A reference indication also will aid the user in identifying multiple faults when present. Whether you are fault locating utility service line or locating a broken sprinkler wire, the STAFF is the professional’s choice.

Built with Pathfinder SAF Technology™ at its core, the STAFF offers RYCOM’s most sophisticated technology in an economical package. Pathfinder SAF Technology™ is the heart of our premium locators, now RYCOM is applying this proven technology throughout the entire product line. The Stick will meet the challenge. Rycom Instruments®, Inc. locators are designed and manufactured to make utility locating as accurate as you need and as simple as you want.

SONDE RADIO BEACON

Self-contained signal transmitters (Sondes) are used to trace the path of non-metallic pipes and locate line blockages in clay, cast iron and other non-conductive structures. Emitting a signal that is detectable up to 25 feet in the air and 10 feet in cast iron, Rycom Instruments® Sondes provide locators unbeatable range at a low price.

Sondes are programmed with a single matched frequency that is detectable by all Rycom Instruments® locating receivers with a matching frequency. Made of high density PVC plastic, each sewer and pipe Sonde is designed to be highly durable.

MAGNASTICK MSL POLARITY STICK

The Magnastick™ MSL™ magnetometers seeks ferromagnetic objects by sensing their magnetic fields. Dual toroidal sensor coils are highly sensitive to the magnetic lines of flux naturally present in ferrous (iron) materials and are not affected by non-ferrous materials such as brass, aluminum, or copper.

Magnastick™ locators employ an “always on” peak mode that provides an increasing audio signal as objects are approached and passed over. The digital display shows numerical signal strength with a diamond bar graph, battery status and polarity.

Ergonomically designed and balanced, the Magnastick™ receiver is made for years of trouble free use. Large and easy to use controls for sensitivity are located on the water resistant handle. The aluminum sensor tube is water proof and when submerged will locate ferrous objects under the water surface.

The unique Auto-Null button makes locating ferrous objects easier and faster without the need to reduce sensitivity. Typical magnetic locators will normally peak off the scale when they are operated close to a metal fence, building or automobile. Pressing the Auto-Null button will reset the Magnastick™ to a normal operating mode and the large mass will be ignored.

Each Magnastick™ unit comes complete with a digital receiver, user manual, and soft carrying case.

PIPETRACK LOCATEABLE DUCT RODDER

Self-contained signal transmitters (Sondes) are used to trace the path of non-metallic pipes and locate line blockages in clay, cast iron and other non-conductive structures. Emitting a signal that is detectable up to 25 feet in the air and 10 feet in cast iron, Rycom Instruments® Sondes provide locators unbeatable range at a low price.
