Product Description
vLoc3-ML Overview:
Vivax-Metrotech designed the vLoc3-ML with built-in transceiver ideal for contractors and utility companies. For that reason, this locator accurately locates buried passive electronic markers (EMS Marker Balls). This new series 3 version of the vLocML2 combines Vivax-Metrotech’s advanced line locating technology and electronic marker system (EMS) detection in a single instrument. With these two features, the user can detect and measure the depth of commercially available EMS markers.
With one press of the receiver’s softkey, the user can access the vLoc3-ML’s line locating or marker detection mode. In fact, you can use the main screen to access frequency selection, marker selection, dedicated or dual marker modes and other advanced features. Model Number: VX220-01
