  • Depth & current displayed simultaneously at the press of a button
  • Continuous depth or current displayed (selectable)
  • Rechargeable batteries with alkaline backup provide the ultimate power source for the receiver

The vLocPro range of locators has been developed by a team of engineers with many years experience in locator design. Vivax-Metrotech also keeps a database of ideas and input from customers that help us design and build locators that address the problems of people who use locators everyday.

The vLocPro is a multi-purpose locator, providing a large suite of frequencies and features to help address the full range of problems a user may encounter, however we also understand that many users of our equipment are under pressure to complete their work quickly so we make it easy to “switch off” features not regularly used (they can be switched back on easily) - this provides the best of both worlds all the features when you want them, and just the ones you need when under pressure

vLocPro-SD Locator

The vLocPro-SD Locator  uses a new techniques “Signal Direction” which synchronizes the transmitter and receiver to improve the users confidence that they are locating the line to which the transmitter is attached. This system works with direct connection from the transmitter to the line, or by use of a special “SD-Clamp”. Vivax-Metrotech is seeking patent protection on this new enhancement.

Vivax-Metrotech continues to back all of its products with a reactive, experienced and dedicatedCustomer Support Team. Our commitment is to provide quality support wherever our products are sold - worldwide. This is achieved by a combination of our own facilities, and a team of dedicated professional businesses.

vLocML Locator

The vLocML Locator  is a multi-purpose locator with a factory installed option to locate the various buried “markers” used in our industry. The unit is recognizable by the carbon fiber collar near the base of the antenna tube. Other manufacturers use clumsy fold down antennas, or heavy internal ferrite antennas. The Vivax-Metrotech solution is a permanently mounted lightweight carbon fiber encased antenna.

The vLocML provides the choice of locating one type of marker only, or all markers simultaneously. One can also choose to look only for markers, or locate and search for markers at the same time.

The locator display indicates the marker type it is identified by both an ICON and a number - the response is indicated by a large circular ball.

The vLocML provides the ability to line locate (only), marker locate (only), or to do both simultaneously. Search for individual marker types (power, gas, water, etc) or search for all marker types.

Most combined marker locators are dramatically heavier than a standard locator, and often have heavy clumsy fold down antennas. The carbon fiber technology used by Vivax-Metrotech makes the vLocML a light ergonomic product.

Loc-10Tx & Loc-5Tx Locator Transmitters

Vivax-Metrotech provides 10W and 5W transmitters for use with this range of locators. Both transmitters have alkaline batteries (with rechargeable options). They can also be powered from (optional) external 12V DC or 100-240V AC power adaptors. The vLocDM transmitters provide 150W output and can be powered by 50V DC (rectifier), 110-240V AC & 12V DC (power output is limited if powered by 12V DC). See product data for individual transmitter capabilities

The Loc-10Tx has been the work horse (10 watt) transmitter since the introduction of the vLocPro. Hardware and software modifications have recently been made which substantially increases the battery life of this product. The Loc-5Tx is a new “low profile” (5 watt) transmitter - it costs less and is more economical to operate. Each transmitter can apply the location signal by connection, induction and signal clamp. Each market has a pre-defined suite of frequencies. (see data sheet) Any combination of frequencies between 400Hz & 200 kHz can be provided on request.

Direct connection - maximum of ten frequencies
Induction - maximum of three frequencies

Clamp - will provide any frequencies that are defined in connection mode and fall in the range 8 kHz to 83 kHz

vLocPro & vLocPro-SD Locators

Vivax-Metrotech continues to develop the vLocPro range of locators to provide new levels of performance, and address additional locating and fault detecting applications. The result is this new and innovative range of locating products.

Vivax-Metrotech continues to use ABS and carbon fiber housings to provide a strong, rugged and light weight product. A dual core processor ensures lightening fast response, and a color TFT display provides information in a clear and informative way. These receivers are powered by internal rechargeable batteries together with an alkaline (emergency backup) pack, to ensure you never run out of power.

Identical in appearance to the standard vLocPro, the vLocPro-SD introduces SIGNAL DIRECTION (patent pending) a new feature for confirming that the line being traced is the line to which the transmitter is connected.

vLocDM Locator

The vLocDM is used to collect data for pipeline coating evaluation. Optional Bluetooth/GPS enables detailed and accurate locate and location data to be stored. The locator response is displayed in a new simplified and intuitive way, incorporating the signal response, both left/right and alignment (compass) data. Vivax-Metrotech partners with several GPS receiver manufacturers to provide the ability to capture and store locator information with GPS data.

VCam Sewer Cameras

The vCam is the third generation of CCTV inspection camera designed and developed by Vivax-Metrotech. As with all Vivax-Metrotech products - the design has been heavily influenced by our customers and the experience of extensive field use. It is sold and supported by dedicated professionals around the world.

The vCam CCTV pushrod inspection cameras provides the choice of two control modules - the vCamView for viewing only and the vCamDigital for viewing and recording. Three reel options are offered, cart type (Type-C - 100ft/30m or 200ft/60m pushrod cable), which is the standard reel, the mini reel (Type-M - 100ft/30m pushrod cable) for those requiring a small reel, and a large reel (Type-P - 400ft/120m pushrod cable). The pushrod cable comes in two sizes, 10mm for use in small diameter pipes and the 12mm diameter for larger pipes, and/or longer distances. Standard and self leveling cameras are available for
each cable size.

The vCam range of pushrod CCTV inspection cameras was designed and developed with the help of customers who use these products on a daily basis. Each of the following features are in response to their specific requests.

Control Module

  • New compact ABS injection molded housing
  • Control module can be mounted on the reel (option) or place on the ground - the handle tilts the module for easy viewing
  • 8” (200mm) TFT LCD display - recessed for easy viewing in strong sunlight
  • MPEG4 recording (120GB internal hard drive give you up to 40 hours of recording) & playback
  • Full function keyboard & enlarged titler storage capacity (10 pages)
  • Waterproof silicon rubber keyboard
  • USB interface to transfer video/audio to a computer
  • Video out & video in functions (for adding on site video & audio)

 VLocCam Locator

 This vLocCam is designed to locate pushrod camera Sondes. It is equipped with the frequencies used by most other popular pushrod camera sytems - 512Hz, 640Hz. It also includes 33 kHz for locating the camera in deeper non-metallic pipes. A power mode is included to locate signals radiating from adjacent pipes and cables.

Warning: The ability to locate adjacent pipes or cables does not replace any legal (or corporate) work practice safety requirements, or the requirement to contact your local “Call Before You Dig”.
