RD8200 Cable in Uzbekistan, Tashkent

The RD8200 is a highly advanced utility locator system manufactured by Radiodetection, designed for accurately locating and tracing underground utilities such as cables and pipes. While the RD8200 itself does not have a specific “cable and piping arrangement,” it is used in conjunction with various accessories and attachments to effectively locate and trace underground utilities. Here’s an overview of how the RD8200 is typically arranged and used for cable and pipe locating:

  1. Main Unit: The RD8200 main unit is the central component of the utility locator system. It houses the electronics, controls, and display screen necessary for operating the device. The main unit is typically held by the operator during utility locating operations.
  2. Antenna or Receiver: The RD8200 is equipped with high-performance antennas or receivers that detect electromagnetic signals emitted by buried utilities. These antennas are crucial for picking up signals and relaying them to the main unit for processing.
  3. Ground Stake RD8200 Cable: A ground stake is used to establish an electrical connection with the ground, providing a reference point for the utility locator. The ground stake is typically inserted into the ground near the area being surveyed to ensure accurate readings.
  4. Signal Generator (Optional) RD8200 Cable: In some cases, a signal generator may be used in conjunction with the RD8200 to energize buried utilities for easier detection. The signal generator emits a detectable signal onto the utility, making it easier for the locator to detect its presence and accurately trace its path.
  5. Accessories RD8200 Cable: Various accessories may be used with the RD8200 to enhance its functionality and adapt it to different locating scenarios. These accessories may include:
    • Direct connection leads for connecting the locator directly to buried utilities.
    • Induction clamps for inducing a signal onto metallic utilities without direct connection.
    • Signal clamps for locating RF markers or identifying live power cables.
    • Auxiliary antennas for extending the detection range or optimizing performance in challenging environments.
    • Carrying case or bag for transporting the RD8200 and its accessories to and from the job site.
  6. User Interface: The RD8200 features a user-friendly interface with controls and a display screen for configuring settings and interpreting detection results. Operators can adjust sensitivity, select locating modes, view depth measurements, and visualize detected utilities on the display screen.
