Multiple tracing modes allow you to locate and trace energized and de-energized utilities in a variety of applications
The intuitive Transmitter automatically chooses the correct locating function based on the connected accessory and includes selectable 8/33 kHz frequencies
The Receiver’s high-contrast display allows for clear viewing in full sunlight and features an automatic backlight for shaded and dark areas
Semi-automatic gain control quickly detects tracing signal and allows precise adjustment of the receiver sensitivity
Depth measurement up to 20 ft
Rated CAT IV 600 V, ensuring safety when working with energized cables
Rugged, durable construction: water and dust resistant to IP54 and drop proof to 3.28 ft (1 m)
Use the Signal Clamp to induce a signal without making electrical contact (included with the UAT-620)
Ground fault locating with the optional A-Frame accessory
Accidentally hitting a utility line during a project can lead to costly repairs and create hazardous public safety situations. Digging in the wrong place can also lead to unnecessary delays and costs for your project, and ultimately, your company. Avoid this disruption with the rugged and durable Amprobe UAT-600 Series, designed to accurately pinpoint underground utilities and buried services up to 100 feet deep with accurate depth measurement to 20 feet.
The locating kit comes complete and ready for use with a Transmitter, Receiver, test lead kit, batteries and additional fuses, all in a mobile, protective duffle bag. The UAT-620 kit also includes a Signal Clamp for transmitting a signal when it is not possible to make electrical contact with the cable to be traced. For applications where ground fault locating is required, use the UAT-600 Transmitter in combination with the optional A-Frame accessory.
Main applications
Locate energized 50/60 Hz cables carrying current
Identify the location of all metallic utilities: pipes*, energized and de-energized cables
Trace individual pipes* or cables (energized or de-energized)
Three testing modes for wide range of applications
Passive power mode (50/60 Hz) – tracing energized lines conducting current (no Transmitter necessary)
Passive radio mode (RF) – using surrounding radio waves to trace underground utilities (no Transmitter necessary)
Active mode using UAT-600-T Transmitter
Three active modes using the UAT-600-T Transmitter
Induction – the Transmitter will automatically start to radiate a signal around it using an internal antenna, used for tracing individual cables where there is no access to the line to connect test leads or a clamp
Direct connection with test leads – the most reliable method to trace individual cable or a pipe
Clamp (Included in the UAT-620 kit, optional for the UAT-610 kit) – provides an efficient and safe method of applying a locate signal to a cable, where it is not possible/safe to gain access to a cable for making an electrical contact
Special applications
2 frequency options: 8 kHz and 33 kHz
Locate non-metallic pipes and sewer lines
Take depth and current measurements
Measure voltage, resistance and output current
Advanced locating with two people
Locate ground faults with the optional AF-600 A-Frame accessory
