When you need to find a pipe or cable underground, our locators help you find it faster and easier. Schonstedt products are designed to withstand the rigors of daily field usage in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Schonstedt's Principles of Pipe & Cable Locating

Pipe and Cable Locators have both a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter induces an electric charge to an object which is detected by the receiver. The transmitter is like a radio station that's putting out a signal which is picked up by the receiver. Just like radio stations, transmitters use different frequencies.
