Detectron, a division of Tinker & Rasor, manufactures the model 505 "GO-FER" Pipe and Cable Locator. This type of locator is widely used by Gas Distribution, Pipeline and Power Companies to locate and mark theirs and others carriers prior to excavation. The 505 "GO-FER" is also an invaluable tool when walking a right of way over long distances to look for unknown buried metallic objects before "trenching." The "GO-FER" can be operated in one of three different ways. The first is "inductively," placing the transmitter on the ground directly over the buried conductor. The second to "energize" the conductor by directly connecting the transmitter to the conductor via a cable. The third operation utilizes the optional three piece handle to connect the transmitter and receiver together allowing the operator to use the fastest method known for locating unknown buried metallic objects. The 505 "GO-FER" operates at 83 kHz ± 0.005% with a peak output of 3 watts and uses 6 "C" cell per side. The larger capacity batteries and quartz controlled tuning give the "go-fer" performance in the field unequaled by any other "split box" locator.

Tinker & Rasor's Model PD and the Null
Method have been recognized as being the fastest method to accurately locate
points of electrical contact and insulating joints on coated underground
piping systems. The Tinker & Rasor Model PD is unaffected by parallel
lines, depths, 60 Hz or ground cover, the survey can often be, in part,
conducted from a moving vehicle over the pipe. In brief, the Null Method
follows the flow of impressed audio frequency current in a coated pipe;
determines where it leaves. This method is quite practical, particularly
as competent field personnel can interpret findings quickly and accurately.
The Model PD is also an excellent device for pinpointing defects in coatings
on buried pipelines. This unit is also highly accurate in locating breaks
in cables such as anode leads on impressed current, cathodic protection
systems.
You should be aware that we have made a few changes to the Model PD recently (08/30/04).
PD Short Locator
comes complete with:
Dual Frequency: Mark V "Ranger" The Newest addition to the Tinker & Rasor family of locators is the Mark V Ranger. This dual frequency locator affords the operator the luxury both Radio and Audio Frequencies. The Mark V Ranger delivers unrivaled performance at a very competitive price. Although the Mark V has the potent combination
of Power and Sensitivity this can be radically enhanced with the addition
of the PD-5 Auxiliary Oscillator. This 25 watt powerhouse
has been known to supply enough energy to a well coated pipeline to allow
cross country surveys of 15 miles from a single connection
point. The PD-5 Fits into the Mark V and allows the Mark V to close while
the PD-5 is in place.
The Mark V Short Locator comes complete
and in Holiday Detector versions. Both come ready to use.
