Tempo BLL-200 Buried Line Locator

Features

• LED and LCD signal strength indicators make it quick and easy to find exact line location
• Lightweight and ergonomically balanced
• Automatic signal boost makes it easy to trace lines, even those with very week signals
• Receiver may be used in active or passive mode
• Receiver locates multiple passive frequencies with a single setting
• Receiver automatically locks out passive range when it detects a transmitter signal, reducing the chance of tracing other lines carrying weaker signals
• Microprocessor-based circuitry delivers increased accuracy and features auto-gain control in all environments
• Traces 20' (6 m) underground and provides depth readings up to 15'
• Transmitter can be connected to live lines up to 600V
• Moulded carrying case included Applications include HVAC, telephone, CATV, line voltage, fiber optic with metallic shield, and more. The transmitter also provides the ability to measure the depth of the buried conductor. Its transmitter can be directly connected, coupled by clamp, or even just coupled by proximity to the service to be followed. The receiver will guide you along the route with sound, signal strength LEDs, and depth estimation.

Applications

• Telephone / CATV
• Finding unknown conductors
• Line voltage
• Conduit
• Water pipes

Introduction

The Tempo BLL-200 Buried Line Locator provides the ability to measure the depth of the buried conductor. Buried debris, underground rebar (reinforcement bar), and areas crowded with conductors can create a challenging tracing environment, however, the BLL-200 can reduce or eliminate any difficulties caused by these circumstances.

The BLL-200 receiver has a switch setting that determines if the unit is in active (TRACE on the panel markings) or passive mode. In active mode, the receiver only looks for the signal from the transmitter, reducing the chance of tracing other lines carrying weaker signals. It locates multiple passive frequencies with only a single switch setting.

The Tempo BLL-200 transmitter has an operating voltage up to 600 Volts AC and 300 Volts DC. The LED and LCD signal strength indicators make it quick and easy to find exact line locations.

Tempo BLL-200 features an improved clamp for inductive coupling. The new clamp provided greater signal strength and can accommodate 3-inch conduit, 3.5 inches in diameter). The clamp is now attached to the transmitter via a 3-foot long cable instead of being rigidly attached, improving ease of use.

Both units have microprocessor-based circuitry that delivers increased accuracy and features auto-gain control in all environments. Each unit also uses standard AA batteries and comes with a low battery indicator.
