The transmitter is where every accurate locate begins. The fully digital TX range applies a strong, stable trace signal to buried pipes and cables — by direct connection, clamp or induction — then pairs with a Radiodetection locator for confident path tracing and depth.
A locator on its own can only find what is naturally radiating. To trace a specific target line accurately — and read its depth — you apply a known signal with a transmitter, then follow that exact frequency with the locator. The TX range makes that signal strong, selectable and repeatable.
Every job is different. The TX transmitter energises the target utility using whichever method the site allows.
Clip directly onto an accessible conductor for the strongest, cleanest trace signal on the target line.
Apply the signal safely around a live cable or pipe with a transmitter clamp — no need to interrupt supply.
Radiate the signal onto a buried line from the surface when no direct connection point is available.
Step up in output and capability — from everyday signal application to full fault-finding and cable identification.
Entry power for everyday direct, clamp and induction signal application.
Higher power with induction capability and Fault-Find for insulation faults.
Highest power with Fault-Find and Current Direction (CD) modes as standard.
TX-10 performance with iLOC Bluetooth remote power and frequency control.
A dependable four-step workflow that takes a crew from an accessible connection point to a confirmed, documented locate.
Energise the buried utility using direct connection, a signal clamp or induction — whichever the site allows.
Select a suitable frequency from the presets, or let SideStepAuto recommend a general-purpose locate frequency.
Pair with a Radiodetection precision locator for accurate path tracing and TruDepth depth readings.
Switch a TX-5 or TX-10 to Fault-Find and use an accessory A-frame to detect and pinpoint insulation faults.
A fully digital platform delivers constant current across the entire bandwidth in every mode, so the trace signal stays strong and stable from the connection point to the far end of the run.
The TX-5 and TX-10 add fault-finding and cable identification, turning the transmitter into a multifunction field tool for tracing, faulting and verifying the target service.
iLOC remote control, flexible power options and a rugged, ingress-protected casing keep operators productive whatever the conditions, with clear feedback on a high-contrast display.
Pair the transmitter with the leads, clamps, connectors and power options that make signal application faster and more reliable.
Clip the transmitter straight onto an accessible conductor for the strongest possible trace signal.
