The Vivax-Metrotech VM-550 Drop Locator kit is a general-purpose locator used to detect buried pipe and cable services in a variety of situations.
With a 50/60Hz passive power locating frequency and three active frequencies of 512/640Hz, 8.19kHz, and 83KhZ, the VM-550 will meet the requirements of those wishing to detect the presence of active power cables and to trace short ranges.
The VM-550FF transmitter also has the additional frequency of 8kHz Fault-find so it can be used to detect the presence of ground to sheath faults on cable when used with the VM-510 Stand Alone A-Frame fault locator or an Accessory A-frame plugged into the vLocPro2, vLoc-9800 or vLocML2 Receivers.
