High tech kit with multi-frequency transmitter for buried utilities detection in the difficult conditions with integrated GPS/GLONASS module. The Cable and pipe locator Success AG-319N consists of the electromagnetic radiation receiver and transmitter providing for the electromagnetic radiation of the route being detected. According to the signal of the embedded speaker or headphones and using the graphic display indications the operator determines the route location. The receiver is capable of receiving a signal from industrial frequency radiation sources (50/60 Hz) and cathode protection systems (100/120 Hz). These modes are used for detecting the location of cable runs or routes carrying the voltage of the relevant frequency. Cable or pipeline may be the load for generator. The transmitter can be connected to the load either directly (with connecting wires) or with the use of the inductive antenna or inductive clamp providing for contactless (inductive) connection of the utility under examination. Use of the inductive antenna as a load is only possible at the 8,928 Hz frequency (selected automatically at antenna connection).
MapProgram: This software was developed for uploading saved GPS points from AP-019.3 cable locator to PC It also indicates the points on Google maps, allows to edit the connections between points (track building) and also saves the data to file (csv or kml format). All uploaded points a stored in database. It is located in folder with exe file. Database default name is “GPSdb”.

Features of AG-120 transmitter
Automatic matching by a given current in the load, instead of the output power, allows you to get a predictable signal level at the input of the search receiver.
The multi-frequency (200...10000 Hz) multifunctional device can be equipped with any receiver that uses this frequency range.
Automatic selection of output power by a program.
Built-in "output multimeter" indicates voltage, current, resistance and power in the load.
High output current (up to 15A) allows efficient operation on "low impedance" (up to short-circuit) loads (e.g. grounded pipes).
High output voltage (220 V off-line / 330 V with optional battery) allows efficient tracing "high resistance" utilities of long distances.
Multifunctionality: operation without direct connection with resonant transmitting antenna, inductive clamps, impact mechanism and insulation control sensor.
Working in rainy weather (on/off; view parameters with the lid closed).
