GA-52Cx
Features & Specs | GA-72cd Features & Specs
Easy-To-Use
The GA-52Cx and GA-72Cd Locators detect the magnetic field of iron and
steel objects and energized power lines. Both provide audio detection
signals that peak in frequency when the locator's tip is held directly
over the target. The GA-72Cd has the option of nulling or peaking.
Quality
Is Our Hallmark
Schonstedt's underground magnetic locators have been setting the standards
for reliability and dependability for over 30 years. They are designed
to withstand the rigors of daily on-site usage and a wide range of environmental
conditions. In fact, the Model GA-52Cx is so rugged and dependable it's
backed by a 7-year warranty and the
Model GA-72Cd is backed by a 5-year warranty.
Only
two Controls
Designed for one-hand operations, the On/Off-Sensitivity and Volume
controls are located on the underside of the cover on both locators.
This provides easy access, protects the knobs and contributes to their
overall ruggedness and dependability.
The GA-72Cd
also has easy-to-read digital and bar graph which displays of signal
strength and polarity. Once you have located a target using the audio
signal, the digital readout and polarity indicators will help you to
visually pinpoint the target and, in some instances, even determine
its orientation.
Signal
Strength and Polarity Indications
The GA-72Cd's audio signal and the 3-digit LCD readout will peak, and
the (+) or (-) bar graph will expand to full scale when its tip is directly
over a vertical iron pipe. One end of a horizontal target will be (+)
and the other will be (-). This difference is very significant because
it helps you to distinguish between vertical and horizontal pipes.
With the
GA-72Cd you can select any one of four sensitivity settings; the GA-52Cx
offers five sensitivity settings. The GA-72Cd's LCD bar graph shows
the selected gain and the battery status. The GA-72Cd's headset jack
can be connected to your data logger using a standard stereo audio plug.
Choice
of Two Audio Modes
The GA-72Cd is configured initially to provide an audio signal that
is always present (Audio Output switch set to "B"). If you
do not want to hear a signal until the locator is within the detection
range of a target, you can set the Audio Output Switch to "A".
