"GO-FER"
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.
