Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 RTK-Pro
The vLoc3 RTK-Pro utility locator from Vivax-Metrotech adds RTK GNSS accuracy. Using the internal cellular module with 4G LTE capabilities, the operator can connect to an NTRIP RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) caster that provides RTCM 3 corrections. By utilizing these corrections, the operator can collect both utility location data and the utility’s geographical location with survey-grade accuracy. All field data is sent to the cloud and retained in the receiver’s onboard storage for review and exporting to mapping programs. The user-configurable receiver contains eight passive locate modes, fault find mode, Signal Direction, and a range of frequencies from 98 Hz to 200 kHz. Users can also configure visual and mechanical vibration alerts for shallow depth, overload, overhead cables and excessive swinging.
