Sheath and coating fault direction
Provides direction and magnitude of fault information to the connected locator display.
Guides the operator along the route toward the fault position. Trace / sheath fault
Radiodetection A-Frame
A Radiodetection fault-finding accessory that provides direction and magnitude of fault information on compatible precision locators.
10/RX-AFRAMEStandard part number
Tx-3 / Tx-10Fault Find transmitter required
RD8200+Compatible precision locator range
Best fitSheath fault locating on cables and coating defect locating on pipelines.
Decision guide
Choose A-Frame When...
- The issue is a sheath fault on a cable rather than a conductor fault distance problem.
- The locator operator needs direction and magnitude information on the locator display.
- The team already uses compatible Radiodetection precision locators and a Tx transmitter.

What This Product Helps The Crew Do.
Works with precision locators
Radiodetection lists compatibility with RD8200, RD8200G, RD8100, RD7KTL, RD7KPL and RD8KPDL(B) locators.
Extends an existing locator kit into fault-find work.Fault Find signal workflow
Requires a Tx-3(B) or Tx-10(B) transmitter to provide the Fault Find signal.
Keeps the field setup clear: locator, transmitter and A-Frame.Product specs
