8880-DFF with
2.6 watt Transmitter
and Collapsible GRP
(Ground Return Probe)
Directional fault finding receiver and the
only folding "A-frame" guide you directly to
underground line faults.
DFF A-frame
integrates with digital receiver to guide the user
straight to line faults
1 passive frequency
of 50/60 cycles locates live utilities without the
use of a transmitter
3 active frequencies of 815 Hz,
8 kHz, and 82 kHz allow accurate tracing in
congested areas or the length of a single
line
Powerful 2.6 watt tracing
signal is reliable for direct connection,
transmitter and coupled induction
Backlit digital
display for low-light reading
Triple antennae with push
button depth and current
measurement
Rechargeable 12.6 volt sealed
lead acid battery
Made in the U.S.A.
The 8880-DFF cable, pipe, and directional
fault finder offers utility locators three active
frequencies -- 815 Hz, 8 kHz, and 82 kHz -- ensuring
adequate signal is applied to buried utilities in any
environment. Multiple active frequencies allow the user
to accurately locate with a minimum of "ghosting" to
adjacent lines while maintaining the ability continue
locating past faults and around conduit bends. Passive
frequencies identify "live" and charged lines by their
naturally occurring electromagnetic fields. The 8880-DFF
offers one passive frequency - 50/60 cycles - allowing
line locating without the use of a
transmitter.
Updated transmitter functions
include improved transmitter induction, dual frequency
coupled induction at 8 kHz and 82 kHz, and automatic
impedance matching for direct connections. The 2.6 watt
transmitter has the ability to simultaneously apply an
815 Hz and 82 kHz frequency to a utility. From one
transmitter setting the user can locate the main line as
well as other services by "lighting up" the entire site.
This set-and-forget feature saves you time and money by
reducing the need to repeatedly relocate the
transmitter. All functions are accessed via
weather-proof membrane buttons and both user input and
transmitter status are verified with audible
responses.
The ergonomically designed and
balanced 8880-DFF receiver provides instant push-button
depth up to 15 feet and current measurement to identify
the target utility in crowded easements. Proximity cues
to the tracing signal are given to the user through
either peak or null tone modes while the backlit digital
display provides both relative and actual signal
strength.
Line faults can be quickly and simply
located when used with the included "A-frame" ground
return probe. The receiver's backlit digital display
provides instant directional feedback and guides the
user forward and back along the line to the precise
location of the fault.
Conduit pinches can be
located using the optional Sonde accessory. Operating on
active frequencies of 815 Hz or 8 kHz, Rycom
Instruments® Sondes are pushed into non-pressurized
conduits and pipes until they reach the point of pinch
or blockage. Traceable 20 feet in the air and 10 feet in
cast iron, the 8880-DFF receiver will identify the
precise location of the line blockage.
