Utiliguard™ Locating Equipment
The Ditch Witch® 150R/T electronic locating system is an easy, affordable way to detect obstacles beneath the surface, so you can dig a posthole or footing, install a French drain, or lay fiber-optic cable with confidence. Weighing just over 5 lb, the lightweight, compact 150R/T is just as easy to carry as it is to operate.
Key Features
- Choose from 70 standard frequencies via user-configurable software.
- AIM™ scans the surrounding area for noise and recommends the best frequencies for the fastest, most accurate locates.
- The only locating system that provides the horizontal and vertical distance (depth) to the utility, to enable users to make accurate locates of obstructed utilities.
- Ruggedly built UtiliGuard has an industry-best IP65 rating, to ensure excellent performance in dusty, dirty or wet jobsite conditions.
- Six-button, intuitive operator interface is easy to learn and use, and includes multiple languages.
- Dual-output 12-watt transmitter drives signals farther down large, direct-buried utilities.
- High-contrast LCD display is visible in all conditions, including direct sunlight.
- Dual-output transmitter connects to two utilities at once, reducing the time required to locate multiple services.
- Superior battery life—transmitter 100 hours, receiver 30 hours—is more than twice as long as the competition’s.
- Bluetooth® technology simplifies communication and data transfer to other communication devices.
- UtiliGuard is direction enabled, i.e., provides the direction of the current to help you identify the target line.
