8856-1w 1 watt 8859 Transmitter

Economical enough to equip every locating crew in your company and compact enough to fit inside the cab.

	2 active frequencies (815 Hz/82 kHz) allow accurate tracing in congested areas or the length of a single line		Powerful 1 watt tracing signal is reliable for direct connection, transmitter and coupled induction
	Dual antennas work in peak or null mode		Compact and ergonomic design works at waist height
	Use with collapsible A-frame for fault finding		Large easy to read analog signal meter
	Weather and shatter proof		Made in the U.S.A.

The economical and dependable Path Finder II series rivals any locator at any price. The dual frequency 8856-1W locator can easily locate any metallic service line and the innovative one-piece receiver design is lightweight and accurate. The superior filtering of the 8856-1W receiver easily picks up tracer signals at waist height, thus eliminating the "duck walk."

Simple to operate, the Path Finder II pinpoints underground cables and pipes in either a peak or a null response. An analog meter displays visual signal indication and a variable pitch tone gives the user an audio indication of the signal response.

The 8856-1W transmitter and receiver are both housed in a lightweight and durable carrying case that is built to withstand years of field abuse and transportation. The case also provides ample storage space for extra accessories such as inductive couplers, spare batteries and test leads. This compact design allows the 8856-1W to be easily stowed in utility vehicle storage compartments.

The 8856-1W Path Finder II offers the user two frequencies. The lower frequency 815 Hz is optimal for cable locating and steel or copper pipe locating. This low frequency offers the best locating opportunities with the least probability of false coupling or "bleed off" to adjacent pipes and cables. Low frequency also offers greater locating distance from the transmitter.

The 82 kHz high frequency offers the user three methods of signal application and stronger signal strength over a shorter distance. High frequencies provide the ability for inductive coupling without direct connection. This means a signal can be applied to a cable or pipe by simply placing the transmitter over the target utility or by using an optional coupler accessory which is simply clamped around the target cable. These additional methods of connection are useful when direct connection is impossible.

Whether locating telephone pairs, irrigation control lines, gas services, CATV drops, water pipes, or power cables, the 8856-1W Path Finder II is an economical and dependable locator for companies of all sizes.
