Armada Technologies PRO290 Compact Underground Cable Locator
Product Overview
The Armada Technologies PRO290 is a compact underground cable locator for following de-energized irrigation, landscape-lighting, pet-fence, and other compatible buried conductors. Its transmitter applies a crystal-controlled 33 kHz signal, and the adjustable receiver uses audible and visual feedback to guide the operator along the wire path. The locator can also help narrow the position of a connected irrigation valve or identify where the signal changes at a suspected break.
Listed performance is up to 4 ft deep and up to 1,000 ft in suitable conditions, though soil, grounding, interference, and conductor condition affect actual results. The portable 4.5 lb kit includes transmitter, receiver, clips, ground stake, and padded case. Proper isolation and transmitter grounding are important for accurate locating.
