RD7200 Cable and Pipe Locator and 5W Transmitter – Radiodetection

The RD7200 is a no-compromise, all-industry cable and pipe locator built for fast, accurate and repeatable results across construction, power, water and telecom work. Paired with the 5-Watt Tx-5 transmitter, it gives contractors, ASP crews and infrastructure teams a complete active locating solution for identifying and tracing buried assets before excavation begins. Designed and manufactured in Great Britain, it delivers precise depth and current readings with the field durability required for daily site use.

TruDepth ensures depth and current are only displayed when the locator is correctly oriented above the target, while a sunlight-readable display, high-performance audio and vibration alerts keep operators informed in noisy or bright conditions.
