Trace non-metallic water pipes without guesswork

Radiodetection RD510 Water Pipe Locator & Leak Detector Kit helps water teams trace pipe routes and find leaks fast. It reduces repeat digs and saves time on site. Plastic and other non-metallic pipes often beat traditional locating. That happens because they do not act like conductive utilities. So, RD510 puts a traceable signal into the target pipe. It does this with a pulsed water transmitter. Then, the acoustic system guides you to the right spot.

Simple workflow for tracing and leak finding

First, connect the pulsed water transmitter to a hydrant, meter base, or external tap. Next, inject the traceable pulse into the line. Then, walk the route with the handheld unit and ground acoustic sensor. As you move, follow the strongest response. After that, confirm the pipe path before you dig. Finally, narrow down the leak position with acoustic listening. RD510 supports pipe tracing up to 45 metres. It also supports leak detection up to 5 metres deep. However, ground type and noise can change results.

Clear on-site use with spectrum tools

The handheld unit includes a 7-inch HD colour touchscreen. This makes readings clear in the field. In addition, Spectrum Analysis helps separate the target signal from background noise. Likewise, Locating modes help you stay on the correct response. You can also adjust gain and volume on the job. As a result, you keep detection steady as conditions change.

Acoustic sensor built for real-world access

The ground acoustic sensor uses a piezoelectric ceramic element. This gives responsive listening on many surfaces. Plus, it mounts on a telescopic pole for better reach. That also reduces strain over long routes. Therefore, crews can work faster around obstacles and tight access points.

Choose the right kit for your pressure environment

RD510 comes as a choice-of-kit solution. For example, select the Standard kit for 4 bar systems. Alternatively, choose the High-Pressure kit for 10 bar systems. If you need maximum flexibility, pick the PRO kit with both valves. Each option includes the RD510 locator and leak detector. It also includes a pulsed water transmitter and hose connection kit. Depending on the kit, you get one or two pulsed water valves.

Reduce disruption and target excavation with confidence

RD510 suits maintenance and repair work where every hour counts. Because you find leaks faster, you reduce water loss. At the same time, you cut site disruption and avoid repeat digs. As a result, you target excavation with more confidence and less waste.
