The Megger 656601 AccuTrace Cable Route Tracer is designed to locate, trace and measure the depth of buried energized power cables. The key part of the instrument is a compact control box attached to a precision-wound, swivel-mounted detecting coil that operates from three basic positions.

  • Locates and traces cable energized with 50/60 Hertz
  • Three-way swivel detector measures cable depth
  • Two sensitivity ranges enable tracing of cables as far as 8 ft. deep
This product is available for shipping to the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico only.

  • Two sensitivity ranges enable tracing of cables as much as 8 ft. (2.4 m) deep
  • Uses both peak and null location methods
  • Light weight allows for indefinite use with little fatigue
  • Locator unaffected by telephone lines, gas or water pipes, steel reinforcing or metallic conduit
  • Fully transistorized amplifier equipped with 10-turn gain control for wide adjustment range
  • Provides up to 150 hours of operation; instrument features a battery test circuit
  • Tracer responds to current flowing in cable, even in metallic conduit
  • Size: 26 in. (66 mm) overall length; 2.5 lb (1.1 kg) weight

The Megger 656601 Cable Route Tracer is designed to locate, trace and measure the depth of buried energized power cables. The key part of the instrument is a compact control box attached to a precision-wound, swivel-mounted detecting coil that operates from three basic positions:

  • Horizontal: for maximum deflection over the cable

  • Vertical: for a null over the cable

  • 45-degree angle: for a null at a horizontal distance from the cable that is equivalent to the cable depth

The receiver of the locator features a filtering circuit that responds only to the existing electrical energy radiating from the buried cable. The chronic problem of identification in congested areas is eliminated, because the receiver is insensitive to telephone lines, gas and water pipes, and steel reinforcing.

Applications

By observing the meter on the control panel and/or the sound level in the earphones, an operator can easily follow main cable runs and service laterals. The operator can also pin-point both Y- and T-type splices and subsurface transformers. The 656601 Cable Route Tracer can sometimes be used to locate grounded electrical faults on un-shielded cable, particularly in direct buried installations.
