The vLoc3 RTK-Pro receiver by Vivax-Metrotech has added real-time kinematic global navigation satellite systems (RTK GNSS) accuracy to a utility locator. 

Using the RTK-Pro internal cellular module with 4G LTE capabilities, the operator can connect to an NTRIP RTK caster that provides RTCM 3 corrections. By utilizing these corrections, the operator can collect utility location data along with the geographical location with survey-grade accuracy. All field data is sent to the cloud and retained in the receiver’s onboard storage for review and exporting to external mapping programs.

Product specs

The vLoc3 series receivers contain eight passive locate modes, fault-find mode and configurable frequencies from 98 Hz to 200 kHz. Visual and mechanical vibration alerts can also be configured by the user, providing warnings for shallow depth, overload, overhead cables and excessive swinging. Optional features include Tx-Link to operate the transmitter remotely.

Vivax-Metrotech Corp. is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing of buried utility locators and video inspection cameras.
