Product Overview
The Tempo Communications 501 Tracker II is a professional underground cable locator system designed to trace the path and determine the depth of buried wires, cables, and metallic pipes or conduit. It operates on active or dead systems and offers three transmitter connection methods — direct connection for maximum signal strength, inductive coupler for live cables, and a built-in inductive antenna for locating buried or inaccessible conductors. The lightweight receiver provides both audible and visual signal strength indication for accurate field identification.
