Lite Controller: Live Results With MALÅ AI Support.

Purpose-built for efficient utility mark-out, Lite Controller gives operators a focused workflow from the moment they start scanning. Its clear, task-oriented interface shows the radar response in real time.

MALÅ AI highlights potential targets as data is collected.
Hyperbola fitting and set-depth-to-known-target tools are built in.
Runs on a rugged Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro 5G or Getac ZX-10 tablet.

Overview

Professional GPR Without The Complexity.

MALÅ Easy Locator Lite is a cost-effective, easy-to-use ground penetrating radar for fast, confident utility locating and mark-out. Its focused workflow gives operators the information they need in real time, without the complexity of a traditional data-collection system.

Key GPR settings are set for utility locating, so operators can focus on detecting and marking buried utilities instead of survey setup, positioning, stored survey data or post-processing.

“Utility locators should be able to focus on finding what is underground, not on operating a complex survey system.”Andreas Viberg, Product Manager, MALÅ

How It Works

Arrive, Scan, Mark, Move On.

A clear, repeatable process that keeps new and experienced operators focused on locating buried utilities.

Step 1

Arrive

The system comes ready to work. There is no survey project, positioning or settings to set up first.

Step 2

Scan

Push the Lite across the area and review the live radar response on screen, with MALÅ AI support.

Step 3

Mark

Mark potential targets on the ground. Final interpretation and marking decisions stay with the operator.

Step 4

Move on

Rugged Mobility As Standard

Built On The MALÅ Rough Terrain Cart Mini.

Easy Locator Lite is designed exclusively for the MALÅ Rough Terrain Cart Mini, which is included as standard. It gives crews a stable, durable platform that is quick to set up, easy to transport and steady across uneven ground.

Applications

Made For Utility Avoidance And Mark-Out.

Avoidance

Rapid utility avoidance ahead of excavation. Optimised settings help crews scan the area, interpret results and identify potential buried utilities without setting up a full survey project.

Mark-out

Straightforward utility mark-out. Operators view results in real time and use MALÅ AI support to help identify potential targets, then locate and mark them efficiently in the field.

Lite Or Core?

Choose The Easy Locator That Fits The Job.

Both are built on the same MALÅ measurement foundation. The Lite is focused on fast mark-out before you dig. The Core adds saved survey data, precise positioning and 3D project work for complete utility surveys.

Both models include

450 MHz antenna
MALÅ AI assistance
MALÅ HDR real-time sampling
Set depth to known targets
Automatic and manual gain
Hyperbola fitting
Metric and imperial units
Selectable radargram colour palettes
