Classic Locate Mode
The classic mode with Peak (bar-graph & numeric indication) and Null (left/right arrows) with automatic depth & signal current and Compass (line orientation). Distortion is indicated by bar-graph color.

Green - good locate signal
Blue - some distortion detected
Red - very high distortion

Vector Mode
Vector mode locks onto the utility itself and displays orientation of the locator in relation to the utility. This mode provides lateral offset locating. An ideal mode for joint trench scenarios.

Features:
  • Automatic gain control
  • Continuous depth & signal current
  • Lateral offset locating
  • Distortion indication - Color change & size change

Plan View Mode
Plan View mode allows for the utility to be located by following the actual path displayed on screen. This mode is the simplest mode for locating any utility.

Features:
  • Simple to use - perfect for inexperienced technicians
  • Displays relative orientation of the utility at any angle
  • Automatic gain control
  • Continuous depth & signal current
  • Distortion indication via two adjacent lines (spacing) and color change

Transverse Graph Mode
Transverse Graph Mode provides a perfect screen for troubleshooting a difficult locate. 

Features:
  • Plots real time peak & null responses simultaneously
  • Provides immediate measurement of signal distortion when two responses do not align
  • Real-time visual antenna comparison
  • Perfect for training

Directional Sonde Mode
Sonde Mode on the vLoc3 allows technicians to approach the sonde from any direction. An arrow will guide users to the sonde and allow easy pinpointing.

Features:

  • Guidance arrow targets sonde axis
  • Red/Green color indicates sonde position
  • "Ghost" or leading and aft peaks are indicated by simple blue icon
  • Sondes can be located from any direction
  • This mode revolutionizes sonde locating
 
Warning / Alerts
Warnings and Alerts provide users with instant feedback when something is wrong. These events will cause the handle to vibrate as well as display a visual notification indicating type of alert. All events are logged onto an internal SD card for future reference.

Shallow Depth Warning
This warning occurs when the utility detected is less than (6) six inches deep. This can prevent damage from occurring to the utility and provide user safety.
 
 
Stacks Image 146
Overhead Cable Warning
This warning indicates that signal is being detected from above. This alert can prevent inaccurate utility marking.

Overload Alert
The alert indicates excessive amounts of electromagnetic signal detected. E.g., near power transformers, etc. This alert can prevent inaccurate utility marking.
