The 830R/T (receiver/transmitter) electronic locating system is designed to perform at a high active frequency so it can trace poor conductors such as ungrounded tracer wire, and locate short lengths of utility infrastructure. Automatic features such as gain control, auto depth and visual and audio feedback enable users to identify and trace metallic pipe or cable, water and gas distribution lines.

An IP65 environmental rating means the unit can stand up to the rigors and weather on construction sites. Battery life is 150 hours on the transmitter, 75 hours on the receiver.

Adaptive filtering ensures responsiveness in all modes of operation, providing left-to-right guidance quickly regardless of mode or operator style. The PV (Peak Verify) mode gives operators an additional way to verify the locate.
