Cable and Underground Infrastructure Locator | LKZ-2500
R32,002.00 – R62,613.00 ex vat
Cable and Underground Infrastructure Locator - Overview

Locating, identifying and tracking the route of objects buried in the ground becomes child's play. The set consists of an LKN transmitter, a LKD detector, a tablet and a long handle. It can trace power cords and cables, control cables, telecommunications cables, underground elements of lightning protection systems, cathodic protection systems, water and sewage systems, fuel transmission systems (pipelines, gas pipelines), heating systems and pre-insulated pipes. This invaluable tool is suitable for various industries, including energy, installation, construction, railway, telecommunications, water and sanitary, heating, geodetic and many others. The transmitter injects a locating signal into an underground object and the detector traces this signal along the object. The positioning information is displayed on the Sonel LKZ Mobile app which is connected to the detector. Determining the object’s route is possible through observation of the compass readings and the level of the detected signal.

The system is capable of operating in passive mode (without the use of the LKN-2500 transmitter) and active mode (with the use of the LKN-2500 transmitter). The active mode can introduce the signal in three different methods:
- galvanic – injects tracing signal into the object directly, through crocodile clips and test leads,
- clamp – injects tracing signal into the object through an inductive clamp,
- inductive – injects tracing signal into the object inductively, using the instrument’s internal antenna.

Overview of Cable and Pipe Locator LKZ-2000

Easily locate cables and pipes with pinpoint accuracy. The complexity of large underground utility networks continually increases, therefor obtaining precise information on the location of specific buried cables and pipes has never been so important. To protect buried assets during ground excavation work and to support the mapping and surveying of these existing utilities.

Sonel LKZ-2000 system has unique flexible operating modes to help you easily decide the right mode for your location application for the site conditions. The intelligent utility locator monitors the signal interference levels in all available modes and recommends which to use for the best results. Saving you time and giving you increased confidence in your results.

Application for Sonel LKZ-2000 - the best system for most challenging conditions!

POWER INDUSTRY
Sonel LKZ-2000 is designed to easily trace power cables over long and short distances with pinpoint accuracy, especially in areas with high levels of electrical interference. When used in conjunction with the supplied Multi Clamp a trace signal can be safely applied to an electrically live cable. The A-Frame accessory can also be used to easily locate cable sheath faults.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES
The highly durable, weatherproof Sonel LKZ system has a flexible operating system to suit most site conditions and terrain, which is essential on complex and demanding civil engineering and construction sites.

RAIL INDUSTRY
Damaging communication cables can be very costly and time consuming to repair, causing major disruption to the rail network. Sonel LKZ system is designed to easily locate and trace cables in congested areas and with high levels of electrical interference.

TELECOM INDUSTRY
Tracing and locating large bundled cables, such as fibre optic cables, can be difficult and time-consuming. Sonel LKZ system's high-frequency modes are ideally suited for these types of cables, helping to improve your productivity and reliably locating all cable types. The A-Frame accessory can be used to easily locate cable sheath faults.

GAS & OIL INDUSTRIES
These can be the most potentially hazardous, costly or environmentally sensitive pipes to strike and therefore most important not to damage. Using the Sonel LKZ system’s range of low-frequency modes, locating and tracing these pipes is easy over long distances, maintaining maximum accuracy.

WATER INDUSTRY
Locating and tracing pipes can support the mapping and surveying of utilities. Using the Sonel LKZ system with our dual-frequency mode is the ideal solution for locating deep underground non-metallic sewerage and drainage pipes, that can’t be detected using standard locating technology.
