Product Description

The PL-VF3 Locating System from SubSurface Instruments is a powerful, user-friendly solution for accurately locating buried pipes and cables up to 25 feet deep.

One of the PL-VF3s most valuable features is remote transmitter controlusers can adjust output power and frequency directly from the receiver at distances up to 400 meters, reducing unnecessary walking and saving time on the job. The system supports 8 locating modes, including passive power and sonde mode, and transmits two frequencies simultaneously to improve accuracy in complex environments.

The receivers high-contrast LCD shows real-time depth, current, and directional guidance, while automatic impedance matching ensures efficient signal transmission. With 3 watts of power, IP65-rated durability, and intuitive controls, the PL-VF3 Locating System is a reliable solution for utility crews, contractors, and field technicians who need accurate, efficient results.
