The vLoc3-ML from Vivax-Metrotech is built on a new Triaxial 3D architecture providing the best in industry pipe & cable locating experience with a built-in antenna for EM marker locating. Having the EM marker antenna permanently fixed to the instrument also allows the unit to be a dedicated EM marker locator. Optional features provide additional capabilities such as Bluetooth for GPS mapping, TX LINK, and cable fault locating.

Transmitter 
Signal Direction 
My Image

Signal Direction Mode (SD) is an optional frequency that can be added to any vLoc3-Pro receiver. SD mode when selected will provide users with an arrow on the classic locate screen indicating the direction of the signal current on the utility. Signal current should always flow away from the transmitter. At any time the arrow reverses (point toward the TX), then it may indicate that the user is no longer locating the correct utility. SD mode is very helpful when locating easements with multiple pipelines buried in close proximity. SD will allow for the user to always locate and mark the correct pipe or cable.

EM Markers 

3M EMS Markers

The EMS Ball & Near Surface markers from 3M provide an accurate, convenient, long lasting method of marking underground facilities during construction or maintenance. The 3M XR Ball markers unique self-leveling design ensures the marker is in a proper horizontal position regardless of how the marker is placed into the ground, guaranteeing deeper performance. 3M Near Surface markers are ideal for marking underground street access facilities during construction and maintenance or other shallow marking applications.

EMS markers enable users to return to the exact location by simply using an equipment locator.
