Cable and pipe locator Success AG-319G

Description of cable and pipe locator Success AG-319G

The set for inspection of buried utilities (cable lines, metal pipelines, and other utilities made of conductive materials).

The set includes a monoblock receiver with a large LCD screen, which indicates actual position of cable and pipe and automatically measures burial depth up to 10 m, as well as current rate.

Built-in GPS/GLONASS module to store the coordinates of located utility.

"Probe" mode for locating NON-METALLIC utilities with pipe sonde (optional).

The most powerful multi-frequency transmitter with a range up to 10 km.

Contact and non-contact connection to utility.

Application of cable and pipe locator Success AG-319G

• Detection of cables and any metal pipelines underground up to 10 m.
• Direct digital measurement of the depth up to 10 m.
• Tracing of underground utilities at distance up to 10 km.
• Detection of energized cables.
• Detection of intersections of the pipeline and cable.
• Detection of defects in cable lines.
• Survey the ground before the excavation works.
• Storing of GPS\GLONASS coordinates and mapping of located utilities.
• Location of non-metallic utilities with optional pushing rod and pipe sonde.

Features of AP-019.3 receiver

• Advanced digital monoblock receiver AP-019.3.
• Indication of utility on the screen.
• Automatic measurement of burial depth and current rate.
• Built-in GPS/GLONASS module to store the coordinates of located utility.
• "Probe" mode for locating NON-METALLIC utilities with pushing rod and pipe sonde (optional).
• Several indication modes: "Route", "Graph", "Graph+", "MIN&MAX", "R.dis." (Relative distance to the utility) and "2 frequencies" which allow operator to utilize full potential of device.
• Additional functions when connecting external sensors.
• Vast range of supported frequencies (50(60) / 100 (120) / 512 / 1024 / 8192 / 32768 Hz, WideBand 40…8000 Hz, Radio 8…40 kHz).
• Menu in English and Russian.
• Connect Power Bank and work at sub-zero temperatures, Power Bank is hidden under the clothes of the operator.

Features of AG-120 transmitter

• Automatic matching by a given current in the load, instead of the output power, allows you to get a predictable signal level at the input of the search receiver.
• The multi-frequency (200...10000 Hz) multifunctional device can be equipped with any receiver that uses this frequency range.
• Automatic selection of output power by a program.
• Built-in "output multimeter" indicates voltage, current, resistance and power in the load.
• High output current (up to 15A) allows efficient operation on "low impedance" (up to short-circuit) loads (e.g. grounded pipes).
• High output voltage (220 V off-line / 330 V with optional battery) allows efficient tracing "high resistance" utilities of long distances.
• Multifunctionality: operation without direct connection with resonant transmitting antenna, inductive clamps, impact mechanism and insulation control sensor.
• Working in rainy weather (on/off; view parameters with the lid closed).

Functional features of AP-019.3 in different operation modes

"Route" mode

"Route" mode screen is considered to be main. Utility axis position, burial depth and current of the utility are indicated on LCD screen. Detection of utility is performed in semi-automatic mode clearly and quickly.

"Graph" mode

Moving graph of signal strength level at the selected frequency is indicated together with utility position. "Graph" mode is used when the signal is too low or when the electromagnetic field is distorted.

"Graph+" mode

This mode provides the location of energized power cables which cross another located utility.

"MIN&MAX" mode

The "MIN&MAX" mode on the graphs of signal level changes helps to locate the center of a cable or pipe more accurately. Also it helps indicating several utilities laying nearby.

"R.dis." modes (Relative distance to the utility)

These modes are used when cables and pipes are positioned close to each other to measure burial depth of located utilities.

"2 frequencies" mode

In the "2 frequencies mode", the cable condition and pipeline protection diagnostic is performed using the transmitter.

Linking utilities to a terrain map using the GPS/GLONASS module

Using the built-in GPS/GLONASS module, the current coordinates of the receiver are detected. By pressing a key on the control panel, the date, time, current coordinates and measured parameters of the main points are stored in the receiver’s RAM: the burial depth and current rate.

The saved data are uploaded to PC for mapping and further processing: editing the connection between points (track construction), saving the track to a database, as well as to a KML or CSV file.

MapProgram

This program is designed for reading of saved points from the AP-019.3 device, displaying locations on Google Maps and Yandex Maps, editing of interrelation between points (construction of a track), saving a track to a database, as well as to KML-file and CSV-file. All points are stored in database. The database is stored in the folder with exe file. The name of the database is "GPSdb".

To work with the data saved in the receiver AP-019.3 the device is connected to a computer using a USB cable.

AP-019.3 operation for utilities tracing

During the operation there will be the following indication on the screen:

1. There is indication in the form of point on the screen, it means the utility is far away from the operator. It’s necessary to move towards the point.
2. The utility axis is appeared on the screen and its position relative to the operator.
3. The axis in the middle shows that the operator is above the utility. There is automatically calculation of the depth and current.
