Amprobe UAT-500-T – Underground Utility Transmitter

The Amprobe UAT-500-T Underground Utility Transmitter operates at a 33 kilohertz (kHz) frequency signal, which provides the most reliable results for many locating applications.

Induction mode uses the Transmitter to wirelessly induce a signal into a buried pipe, cable, or wire. The Receiver can the detect the signal carried by the buried utility.

In Direct Test Leads Connection Mode, the Transmitter is connected to the buried de-energized cables or utilities with test leads (provided there is an available access point to the utility). The Transmitter then send a signal across the wire or pipe.*

If it is not possible to gain access to a cable for making an electrical contact or it is not safe to do so, the optional Signal Clamp provides an efficient and safe method of applying a locate signal to a cable.

*NOTE: The UAT-500-T Transmitter should never be connected to an energized circuit. The Amprobe UAT-600-T Transmitter, safety rated CAT IV 600 V, can be safely used to connect to energized circuits.
