Model: Amprobe AF-600 A-Frame Cable Ground Fault Locator

The AF-600 A-Frame cable ground fault finder is specifically designed for the Amprobe UAT-600 Underground Utilities Locator Series. In combination with the UAT-600 Transmitter, it will pinpoint the place where a cable metal conductor (either a sheath or a metallic conductor of the wire) touches the ground. It can also detect other conductors to ground faults such as pipeline coating defects

Key Features: Amprobe AF-600 A-Frame Cable Ground Fault Locator

Optional accessory for Amprobe UAT-600 Underground Utilities Locator Series
Works in conjunction with the UAT-600-T Transmitter
Locate cable and wires ground faults, sheath faults or pipeline coating defects (direct contact of the utility with the ground is required to pinpoint a fault)
Used to find the point where metal is touching the ground (shield is rusted/rubber buffer is broken) and power is leaking, creating noise on a cable
Find the point of leakage around a cable (ground faults are common problems with electric cables) – saves money by pinpointing leakage point
Adjustable volume control
Advanced technology and digital signal processing make the pinpointing process fast, accurate, and unambiguous:
- 1. Compass guidance with numeric fault field strength indicates the direction to the place of the fault
  2. Distance sensitive left/right guidance guides the user to precisely follow the path of the buried utility
  3. Automatic gain control quickly detects tracing signal and precisely adjust A-Frame sensitivity
