Magnetic Locators

Our magnetic locators are an essential tool for finding objects that contain ferrous metal. The magnetic locator uses the Earth's magnetic field to act as a surveying metal detector. Surveying magnetic locators can find ferrous objects underground, underwater, beneath snow cover, etc. SURV-KAP has a selection of survey locators from top manufacturers, including magnetic pipe and survey marker locator tools. A subsurface magnetic locator is essential for finding things like utility lines (e.., power, water and gas) and is indispensable for any excavation professional. Plus, we have the ChrisNik, Inc. HoundDog which is the latest survey stake locator with some impressive new features.

ChrisNik’s HoundDog is built with new hi-tech Fence Ignoring Technology  (FIT). We taught our HoundDog to find the positive (+) polarity at the top of ferrous metal objects while ignoring the negative (-) polarity found at the bottom. This allows HoundDog to ignore the bottom of a fence and easily find the top of buried magnails, rebar or other ferrous survey markers.

The HoundDog can sniff out:

• Survey markers up to 8ft. deep.
• MAG NAIL & PK nails up to 14” deep
• Manhole covers, Catch Basins, Cast-Iron Pipes, Septic Tank Handles, Oil Tanks, Steel Drums & Well Casing.
• Valves & Curb Boxes up to 9’ deep

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Volume increases automatically when object is detected
• Operating Temperature-13 to 140 F - Weighs 1 3/4 lbs
• Uses one 9 volt battery (55hrs Intermittent use) Low battery indication
• Detector can be submerged in the water up to the handle grip 30”
• 5 year warranty - not effected by ground metals - Overall length 37”
• Circuit board is surface mount technology and has a protective silicone coating

INCLUDES:

• Soft-sided case
• Battery
