RD8000

Delivering fast, accurate, reliable and repeatable locate data.
The RD8000PDL and PXL are powerful successors to the industry standard RD4000PDL and PXL pipe
and cable locators. The RD8000 improves on speed, accuracy and reliability yet remains a cost-effective
solution for any application delivering unique user features. Designed with the latest, patented digital
firmware, RD8000 delivers a highly controllable and reliable locate solution to service any industry,
anywhere in the world.

Ergonomics
The RD8000 is ergonomically designed to deliver a superior
performing locator that provides the user with a light weight,
energy efficient and exceptionally well balanced tool. The
RD8000 is 28% lighter than the industry standard RD4000,
which encourages extended use. Despite its weight and form,
the RD8000 retains the environmental durability associated
with an IP54 rating, meaning you can operate it in almost any
environment. The receiver and transmitter feature a large, high
contrast, backlit LCD screen that provides the user with clear
information in any light conditions. The intuitive and responsive
interface is designed so the operator can access any feature
with ease. The keypad uses a self explanatory icon set that is
consistent on both the transmitter and the receiver.

CentrosTM
For 30 years Radiodetection has revolutionized
cable locator design with over 50 software and
hardware patents as part of our commitment
to product improvement. This research has developed into
a single entity called CentrosTM. CentrosTM combines new and
innovative algorithms with established software on a highperformance
processor core. CentrosTM improves the accuracy
and repeatability of measurements and delivers unprecedented
responsiveness in the field. CentrosTM delivers powerful signal
filtering and analysis allowing continued operation even in the
most electrically noisy environments. CentrosTM provides our
customers with the most powerful measurement engine of any
cable and pipe locator.

iLOCTM
Save time by remotely controlling the transmitter using an advanced Bluetooth® link. Ergonomic design Light weight, with high contrast LCD display providing clear information in any light condition. iLOCTM is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8000 locator and transmitter that helps save the operator time and effort. iLOC allows the operator to control the transmitter remotely using a number of unique features. With iLOC you can spend less time walking and more time locating. iLOCTM
operates at distances up to 800 meters (875 yards) line of sight providing an operator with a fast and unique means of conducting a survey.

iLOC applications supported are:
n SideStepTM - enables an operator to move the transmitter
frequency slightly above the selected frequency enabling
locates in areas prone to interference or where multiple
operators are locating.
n Frequency Select - choose an active frequency on
the RD8000 and synchronously change the transmitter
frequency to match.
n Power Management - an operator can adjust the output
power of the transmitter to optimize output signal, leading
to efficient use of transmitter batteries.
n Transmitter remote sleep/wake
- enter standby mode to prolong
battery life. Conveniently wake
the transmitter with a simple
key press on the receiver.
Transmitter can be set to
standby mode each time
passive location is carried out.
