Cable and route location system CARLOC

Adiradh offers the Megger CARLOC cable and route location system for locating buried cables and utility routes. Moreover, CARLOC combines intelligent signal processing with flexible operating modes for cable tracing and route identification. In addition, its receiver provides a high-contrast display for clear viewing during day and night. Furthermore, current direction indication helps identify the target line, while the transmitter provides two output signals to distinguish between adjacent cables. The system also supports 100 freely adjustable transmitter frequencies from 50 Hz to 200 kHz. Therefore, users can select suitable signal conditions for different locating tasks. Moreover, CARLOC has an IP65 protection rating for wet, dusty, and dirty work environments. In addition, it can operate from -20°C to 50°C. The CARLOC PLUS version further adds Bluetooth GPS connection, depth measurement, horizontal distance measurement, ambient interference measurement, and receiver control of frequency and power level. Thus, CARLOC supports practical cable and route location work.

CARLOC

Overview

The Megger CARLOC is a cable and route location system designed to trace buried utilities and identify target cable routes. Moreover, the system combines a receiver and transmitter to support signal-based locating work. The receiver uses a high-contrast LCD display, while current direction indication helps distinguish the required line from nearby lines. In addition, the transmitter provides two output signals for identifying cables that lie side by side. CARLOC supports up to 100 user-configurable frequencies between 50 Hz and 200 kHz. Therefore, it can be configured for different locating conditions. Furthermore, the available 12 W transmitter can drive signals farther along large, directly buried utilities. The standard CARLOC provides receiver and transmitter battery life of about 30 hours and 100 hours respectively. The CARLOC PLUS version adds Bluetooth for GPS connection and data transfer. It also provides depth and offset distance, ambient interference measurement, remote receiver/transmitter communication, and dual-output control.

About Product

CARLOC uses electromagnetic signal tracing and receiver signal processing to locate buried cables and routes. Moreover, the system provides directional current indication, which helps the operator identify the target line during cable tracing. The transmitter supports up to 100 selectable frequencies from 50 Hz to 200 kHz, while configuration software can add or remove frequencies. In addition, the receiver supports operating modes for cable routing and related locating tasks. Product documentation also identifies connections for an A-frame and EML-Boot for supported applications. Furthermore, CARLOC uses an IP65-rated enclosure for wet, dusty, dirty environments. The CARLOC PLUS version adds Ambient Interference Measurement (AIM) technology, which measures environmental noise and suggests suitable frequencies. It also provides Bluetooth communication for GPS devices and data transfer. Moreover, PLUS can measure depth and horizontal offset when the receiver is not directly above the target line. Therefore, CARLOC combines electromagnetic detection, signal direction, configurable frequency selection, and optional positioning.

Technology & Benefits

CARLOC uses intelligent signal processing with flexible operating modes to support cable and route location. Moreover, its current direction display helps the operator identify the target conductor and distinguish adjacent lines. The transmitter can provide two output signals, so nearby cables can be distinguished more clearly. In addition, 100 adjustable frequencies from 50 Hz to 200 kHz allow the system to adapt to different locating conditions. The CARLOC PLUS version uses Ambient Interference Measurement technology. Therefore, the system can measure ambient noise and suggest a suitable operating frequency. Furthermore, PLUS provides Bluetooth communication for GPS connection and data transfer. It also supports depth measurement and horizontal distance measurement when not directly above the target route. In addition, receiver-to-transmitter communication allows frequency and power settings to be changed from the receiver in supported configurations. Consequently, these functions support route tracing and cable identification. Finally, IP65 protection and a -20°C to 50°C operating range support field use.
