Discover the potencial of MRT-700: Advanced Underground Cable and Pipe Locator

 

MRT-700, the most comprehensive underground cable and pipe locator on the market

The MRT-700 is a cutting-edge underground cable and pipe locator that offers a multitude of features designed to make locating buried facilities easier, more efficient, and highly reliable. With its state-of-the-art technology and innovative functionalities, the MRT-700 is the ultimate solution for professionals working in the field. In this article, we will delve into the highlights of the MRT-700, showcasing its key strengths and advanced capabilities.

 

 

Enhanced display and visualization

The MRT-700 boasts a standout feature in its visualization capabilities. Equipped with seven strategically distributed sensors, this advanced device provides a virtual representation of buried cable or pipeline. This virtual representation makes cables and pipes tracing incredibly easy, intuitive, reliable, and fast. In addition, the MRT-700 incorporates the market’s smartest tracing mode, known as FULL MODE. This mode, known for its exceptional accuracy and simplicity of interpretation, enables even inexperienced users to locate cables effectively while avoiding so-called ghost cables.

 

 

 

 

Acoustic indication

To further streamline the cable locating process, the MRT-700 features an acoustic indication on the receiver. This auditory feedback assists users to locate exactly the cable/pipe, adding an extra layer of convenience and precision to the operation.

 

Reliable performance for extended distances

With its 10W transmitter and high sensitivity receiver, the MRT-700 ensures a good performance in cable and pipe location, even over long distances. It has demonstrated exceptional performance over lengths of more than 10 km, especially when a good current circulation circuit has been set with a good ground connection. This remarkable capability makes the MRT-700 an indispensable tool for large network digitisation projects.

 

 

Long-lasting rechargeable batteries

The MRT-700 shines with the performance of its batteries. Both the TRx (transmitter) and Rx (receiver) units are equipped with rechargeable batteries. The TRx, even at full power (10W), can be used for over 12 hours. The device offers four power levels: 2.5W, 5W, 7.5W, and 10W. Furthermore, when operating at half power, the battery life extends to more than 24 hours.

The RX unit features an autosave battery mode, which automatically enters into sleep mode or switches off when it is inactive for extended periods, ensuring efficient power management.

 

 

 

Versatile frequency injection

The MRT-700 supports the injection of 4 active frequencies for cable and metallic pipe, 4 frequencies for non-metallic pipe, and 3 passive signals. In particular, the CPS (Current Polarity Signal) is especially useful when tracing cables in direct connection. This signal indicates the true direction of the injected current, effectively distinguishing the cable being traced from other ground returns, other cables, pipes…. This feature improves the accuracy and reliability of cable tracing operations.

 

Built-in antenna for inaccessible cables

In situations where there is no direct access to buried cables (or pipe) to inject the signal in direct connection or with induction clamp, the MRT-700’s built-in antenna is the solution. The transmitter (TRx) generates a magnetic field, inducing a current in the buried cables, making easier their location and tracing. This capability ensures that cables and pipes hidden in hard-to-reach areas can still be located effectively.

 

Improved transmitter display

Recognizing the importance of readability in various environmental conditions, the MRT-700 has enhanced the transmitter display. The addition of a backlight and increased letter size ensure improving visibility, especially in sunny environments.

 

 

 

 

MRT-700 with high-accuracy internal GPS and datalogger

 

The MRT-700 sets itself apart with its high-accuracy internal GPS and datalogger. This advanced functionality enables users to save cable routes directly in the Rx unit. The stored data can be transferred to a laptop via Bluetooth and visualized using mapping platforms such as Google Maps.

 

 

 

 

MRT-700 with Cable Identifier functionality

 

One of the most intriguing features available for the MRT-700, that makes it unique in the market, is the cable identifier function.  Merytronic, a renowned expert in identification and tracer cable devices, has implemented a de-energized cable identifier in the MRT-700. The device is supplied with a loop sensor and a “U” type sensor. In fact, it is actually two devices in one, with the cable identifier being the perfect complement to the underground cable locator. This functionality expands the versatility of the MRT-700, effectively combining two separate devices into a powerful tool that allows users to perform a wider range of tasks with greater speed, efficiency, and precision.

 

MRT-700 with Cable Fault Pintpointing functionality

Without any doubt Merytronic has managed to implement the functionality for cable fault location using the most modern technology, developing a dual display in such a way that the cable fault can be searched for without being able to see it, i.e. tracing it at the same time. The device is supplied with an A-Frame which connects to the MRT-700 Rx and measures the potential difference of the leakage current across the cable sheath fault. The accuracy of the fault location is astounding, less than 5cm. Additionally the transmitter of the device can be converted into an insulation resistance meter to get a previous indication of the phase with a possible earth fault.

 

 

 

 

 

MRT-700, a high-performance device

To sum up, the MRT-700 is a game-changing underground cable and pipe locator that raises the bar in terms of functionality, performance, and user experience. Its advanced features, such as the virtual representation, acoustic indication, long-life rechargeable batteries, versatile frequency injection, built-in antenna, enhanced display, high-accuracy internal GPS, datalogger and cable identifier, such as, cable fault pinpointing functionality, make it an indispensable device for professionals, utilities and contractors working on underground line maintenance tasks. With the MRT-700, locating underground cables and pipes has never been easier, more efficient and more reliable.
