Acoustic magnetic synchronization
Uses synchronized acoustic and magnetic signals to locate the discharge point from the ground surface.
Turns an estimated fault distance into a practical excavation point. Pinpoint
RD97850N Cable Fault Pin Pointer
A field pin-pointer for precisely locating power cable main insulation faults using synchronized acoustic and magnetic signals, with clear display modes and noise filtering.

Best fitFinal surface pinpointing after the fault has been pre-located.
Decision guide
Choose RD97850N pin-pointer When...
- A cable fault has already been pre-located and the team needs the final dig position.
- The site has background noise and the operator needs digital noise reduction and adjustable filters.
- The fault response team wants acoustic waveform visibility and cursor adjustment for difficult faults.

What This Product Helps The Crew Do.
Auto and advanced modes
Auto mode displays synchronized signals quickly, while advanced mode shows acoustic waveforms for manual cursor adjustment.
Supports both fast routine work and more difficult fault interpretation.Noise control in the field
Digital noise reduction, filter modes and auto-muting help suppress unwanted sound while moving.
Improves confidence when site noise would otherwise mask the discharge.Product specs
