The Basics of Magnetic Locators
Excavation projects present numerous hazards, particularly when the job site is filled with pipes, cables, and other objects underground. With magnetic locators, there’s no need to dig into every plot of land to check for buried objects. This type of survey metal locator is designed to instantly locate the presence of ferrous metal below the ground. While it offers convenient functionality for surveyors, a locator won’t work at its full potential if the operator doesn’t know how to use it.
Luckily, Schnostedt has made a video on how magnetic locators work. Highlighting the brand’s most popular magnetic locator, the GA-52CX, this video explains how this locator detects buried objects and how operators can safely use it at their job site.
Magnetic Locators
When an area has to be prepared for construction, it must first be cleared of any object located underneath the ground. This can prevent hazardous pipes and lines from getting damaged and can guarantee that there are no unseen hazards under the building being constructed. Locating metallic objects underground, such as steel or cast iron pipes and survey markers, doesn’t have to entail aimlessly digging and ruining the ground. With magnetic locators that can be ordered here on Engineer Warehouse, you can easily find target objects in no time.
These magnetic locators feature digital bar graph displays for the precise identification of the target object even in congested areas filled with disturbance signals. Some of these locators can also detect if power lines are present in the area. Upon identifying the target object, an audio tone will then be activated to immediately inform users. Because these magnetic locators are used outdoors, they are powered by batteries that can last a long time. They also have waterproof tips so that they won’t get damaged in harsh outdoor conditions. For easy operation and handling, these magnetic locators are lightweight, and their button pads and handles are ergonomically designed.
