MRX G RF Marker Locator
Gamme de détecteurs de précision de câbles, canalisations et marqueurs enterrés
The MRX G is an RF (Radio Frequency) marker locator tailored for advanced locates – it is built for professionals who need more from their locator. A wide range of frequencies, additional active and passive modes, and onboard GPS make it well-suited for challenging environments and congested areas where precision matters.
RF Markers
RF markers help locate underground utilities like plastic pipes, fiber optic cables, and critical points in dense networks. There are various types, such as marker balls, near surface, mid-range and full range markers. These RF markers are buried directly above or beside the utility, making them essential for hard-to-find assets. Radiodetection’s RF marker locators have been designed to locate the most common RF markers.
The MRX Range
The MRX range consists of three RF marker locators, designed for those who carry out a wide range of locating tasks. Whether you're tracing utilities, identifying buried markers, or doing both at once, there is an RF marker locator that meets your needs. The MRX is a reliable dual-functionality locator; the MRX G adds advanced capability for locating in congested areas, as well as onboard GPS for integration with digital platforms. The MRX SG offers triple functionality by combining advanced utility locating and marker ball detection with high accuracy mapping in one, powerful tool.
The 4 kHz locate frequency is designed for tracing high-impedance lines such as twisted pair telecoms or street lighting. Since such utilities are often found in areas of dense infrastructure, you can combine 4 kHz with CD to ensure you follow the right line.
The MRX G is effective for locating a wide variety of underground utilities and offers seven active antenna modes, including:
Peak+ combines the accuracy of the Peak bargraph with Null arrows, which can indicate the presence of distortion
Guidance, for rapidly tracing the general path of a buried utility.
Broad peak, can be used to detect and trace very weak signals, for example very deep utilities.
With 21 active locate frequencies, the MRX G provides a comprehensive range of frequencies for underground utility location. The available frequencies include a wide range of low, mid, and high frequencies to accommodate challenging situations such as congested areas with high interference, deep locates or weak signals.
Locate professionals can optimise their MRX G for their unique locating challenges by selecting up to 5 custom frequencies between 50Hz and 1kHz, adjustable with 1Hz precision.
The MRX G supports four distinct sonde frequencies: 512Hz, 640Hz, 8kHz, and 33kHz. This range of frequencies allows for optimal performance when tracing sondes.
The MRX G offers five passive locating modes for detecting existing signals without transmitting a signal: Power, Radio, CPS (Cathodic Protection System), CATV (Cable TV), and a Passive Avoidance mode for simultaneous power and radio detection.
Automatically log key locate parameters every second and build up a comprehensive picture of individual locates and patterns.
Current Direction is a powerful tool that augments the capabilities of pipe and cable locators to help operators pick out their target line from others nearby. Using fundamental properties of electromagnetism, CD allows you to locate your utility quickly and eliminate wasted time following false trails.
Up to 5 additional frequencies can be programmed into the MRX G & MRX SG locators to match them to the signals found on your target networks.
When a signal transmitter can’t be connected, tracing individual underground power lines through complex networks can be a real challenge: conflicting or powerful signals can confuse the operator, or combine to create a broad wash of signal.
With a single key press, you can now utilize the harmonic properties of power signals to establish if a signal comes from one source or multiple cables, then trace and mark their routes.
Combine the MRX with an A-frame accessory to identify and pinpoint insulation sheath faults to within 4" (10cm).
iLOC is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the locator and transmitter, which allows you to control the locate signal’s power and frequency from up to 1400’ / 450m away. Less time walking and more time locating.
