Acoustic method is used to locate metal and non-metal pipelines, when tracing metal pipelines in conditions of high industrial interference, when tracing is difficult (if there are nearby communications, such as pipes, cables, metal objects; industrial interference, such as power lines, railway and tram lines, etc.).

2. Cable and pipe locator with electromagnetic sensor

  • Power from 7.5 to 180 W.
  • Automatic load adjustment, which allows to send a certain signal power to a random load.
  • Alternating sinusoidal current (constant or short-term pulses).
  • Performance up to 18 hours when low power is selected.

3. Water leak detector with acoustic sensor

  • Sensitive acoustic sensor.

Features of AP-027M receiver

  • Advanced digital location receiver.
  • Large LCD display with switchable modes.
  • Sound output to the built-in speaker and the operator's headphones.
  • Vast range of supported frequencies (50 / 100 / 512 / 1024/ 8192 / 32768 Hz, WideBand 50…8600 Hz).
  • Ability to connect an acoustic sensor (water leak detector / cable flaw detector functions).
  • Enclosure protection class IP54 against external influences.

Features of AG-144.1 transmitter

  • Choice of output power of the transmitter (from 7,5 up to 180 W).

Description of impact device UM-112

It is used for producing the sound impacts on the pipe surface for acoustic tracing of non-metal and metal pipelines. The sound produced with the impact device is spread along the pipeline and, through the ground, picked-up with the acoustic sensor connected to the receiver. After being amplified and filtered in the receiver, the sensor signal is indicated on the screen and transmitted to headphones.

Impact device UM-112


AP-027M operation for utilities tracing

Move to the supposed utility location - an energized cable or a pipe. During the operation there will be information on the screen and sound in the headphones.

AP-027 operation for utilities tracing

  1. The signal is low on the screen and in the headphones, it means the utility is far away from the operator.
  2. The closer to the utility the higher is the signal on the screen and the louder is the sound in the headphones.
  3. The operator is above the utility, the signal is maximum.
  4. The signal is less, it means the leakage was behind.

Acoustic sensor AD-227 operation for water leaks detection

Move along the pipe to the supposed place of water leakage. During the operation there will be the following indication on the screen:
