Key Features
a) Ergonomics
Light weight – 28% lighter than industry standard RD4000
IP54 Rating – you can operate it in almost any environment
Transmitter and receiver feature a large, high contrast backlit LCD screen.
b) Centros™
Over 50 software and hardware patents
Combination of new and innovative algorithms with established software on a high-performance processor core
Improves the accuracy and repeatability of measurements
Delivers powerful signal filtering and analysis allowing continued operation even in the most electrically noisy environments.
c) ILOC™
ILOC™ is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8000 locator and transmitter
ILOC allows the operator to control the transmitter remotely

d) SurveyCERT™
Gives the operator the tools to pass survey information to third-party applications for audit, analysis and reporting
1000 locate records can be stored and reviewed
Upload this information to PDA or PC using RD8000 Bluetooth connection.
e) eCAL™
A Radiodetection technique that allows the operator to validate the original factory calibration of the RD8000
eCAL can issue and print validation certificate without needing to return the RD8000 to a service center.
f) TruDepth™
Accurate depth readings as only indicates a locate depth when the locator is correctly oriented directly above the pipe/cable.
