iLOC™ · 450 mWireless control of transmitter power and frequency from up to 450 m away
Overview

Two Tools In One. Locate The Line, Find The Marker.

The MRX is built for accurate, efficient daily use, delivering powerful locate performance with the versatility to switch between utility line detection and RF marker ball locating without swapping devices.

RF markers are vital for locating underground infrastructure such as plastic pipes, fibre optic cables and key network points. Available as near-surface, mid-range, full-range and ball markers, they let crews mark and re-find buried assets long after the trench is closed.

The MRX Range

Three Models. From Dual To Triple Functionality.

Choose the MRX that fits your work, from everyday line-and-marker detection to full survey-grade mapping.

MRXDual functionality

Trace buried utilities and identify buried RF markers in one dependable device.

MRX GGPS + congested areas

Adds advanced capability for congested networks plus onboard GPS for digital platform integration.

MRX SGTriple functionality

Combines advanced utility locating, marker ball detection and high-accuracy survey mapping.

RF Markers

Colour-Coded By Utility, Detected By Frequency.

Each buried utility uses a standard marker colour and frequency, so the MRX can identify exactly what it has found underground.

Advanced Functions

Cut Through Congested, Difficult Ground.

Built-in tools help the MRX discriminate between services, find faults and connect into modern data workflows.

Power Filters™

Uses the harmonic properties of power signals to discriminate between multiple cables and establish the signal source.

Fault Find

With the A-frame accessory, pinpoint insulation sheath faults to within 4" (10 cm) of the damage.

iLOC™

Wireless transmitter link to control signal power and frequency remotely from up to 450 m (1,400 ft) away.

RD Manager Online

Windows software for managing locator data across Radiodetection precision and RF marker locator ranges.

Applications

Where The MRX Earns Its Keep.

From plastic pipe networks to fibre protection, the MRX is made for the assets a standard line locator cannot see.

Plastic & Non-Metallic Pipes

Find water, gas and drainage lines that carry no traceable signal by locating the RF markers placed along them.

Fibre Optic Routes

Protect buried fibre by marking and re-finding cable paths and critical points without excavation.

Congested Networks

Separate closely-spaced services and identify signal sources in dense urban utility corridors.

Critical Points

Mark and recover tees, joints, valves and splices so crews return to the exact spot years later.

Damage Prevention

Verify utility position before breaking ground to reduce strikes and costly reinstatement.

Asset Records

With MRX G / MRX SG, capture GPS position for mapping platforms and long-term asset documentation.

Field Workflow

Locate, Detect, Discriminate And Record.

A single tool that carries a crew from tracing the line to documenting the asset.

Active & passive

Locate the line

Trace conductive utilities with familiar active and passive locate modes and eight active frequencies.

RF markers & balls

Detect the marker

Switch to marker mode to find near-surface, mid-range and full-range RF markers and marker balls.

Power Filters™

Discriminate

Separate multiple cables and identify the signal source in congested ground before you dig.

GPS / RD Manager

Record & map

Capture position on MRX G / MRX SG and manage locator data through RD Manager Online.

Recommended Accessories

Build A Complete MRX Kit.

Pair the locator with the transmitter, A-frame, markers and mounts that get the most from every mode.
