Radiodetection Multi-Frequencies Transmitter
The fully digital platform of TX signal transmitters has been designed to complement Radiodetection’s advanced high-precision locators.
The transmitter works with RD8100, RD7100, RD7200, RD8200, RF marker locator and PCMx locators.
Why you need a transmitter?
The Tx transmitter is also known as signal generator. The signal generated are in the form of frequency, will then be transmitted onto the buried utility using direct connect, clamp or inductive mode.
The user will then select a suitable frequency from the preset in the transmitter and pair with the locator for accurate path tracing and depth reading.
Depending on models, user can choose to customizable the frequencies, up 16 selectable frequencies at anytime.
Models available: –
- The TX-1 is the lowest power transmitter in the TX range.
- The Tx-5 has a higher power and induction capability as well as Fault-Find.
- The Tx-10 has the highest power capability with both Fault-Find and CD modes as standard.
It deliver convenience on-site with an IP65 ingress protection rating, removable accessory tray and a large, high-contrast, backlit LCD screen.

Features
iLOC remote control
iLOC is an advanced Bluetooth® link between the RD8100 locator and transmitter, which allows you to control the locate signal’s power and frequency from up to 1400’ / 450m away. Less time walking and more time locating.
SideStep Auto
The transmitter can be used to recommend a general-purpose locate frequency for the intended locate task by measuring the impedance of the target cable or pipe. SideStepAuto helps to improve locate accuracy and extends battery life.
Fault-Find
Apply a Fault-Find signal with the Tx-5 and Tx-10 transmitter and use an accessory A-frame to detect and pinpoint insulation faults.
90V maximum output
High voltage output makes sure that you can get locatable signal onto even high impedance lines like telephone pairs
Built for on-site use – IP65
Shock resistant, ingress protected casing protects against knocks, drops, water and dust.
Lithium Ion battery pack option
Deliver extended run-time, lighter weight and superior cold-weather performance by comparison to standard alkaline batteries. No need for operators to replace, manage and recycle alkaline battery cells, reducing the associated costs, workload and environmental burden.
ECO mode
Extend alkaline battery life by enabling ECO mode. When a low battery condition is detected the transmitter gradually reduces the power output and provides audio and visual warnings.
Automatic impedance matching
Transmit your locate signal as far as possible by automatically matching the transmitter impedance to that of your target cable.
Multimeter function
Measure output voltage, line voltage, current, impedance and power, and characterize faults on the target line before beginning a survey. Accessories to optimize the system to your needs.
