The new Gen-Eye Hot Spot pipe locator from General Pipe Cleaners makes locating easier than ever. Its total field antenna array and on-screen icons lead you right to your target, without the long learning curve. Whether you’re an experienced pro or a first time user, you can quickly locate inspection cameras, sondes, active power lines and utility lines with pinpoint accuracy. No need to interpret numbers and bar graphs. 

The easy-to-see auto backlit LCD display shows you the way with arrows that point you in the right direction every time. Utility line location and active buried power line locating is just as easy. The Hot Spot is the industry’s most rugged locator. The IP65-rated unit is dust and dirt proof, and water resistant. It passed the 1-meter drop test and the screen passed the 18-inch steel ball drop test. 

Just follow the three-step process:

Step One: On-screen arrows point you in the right direction. No need to interpret numbers and bar graphs. 

Step Two: When all four arrows point back toward each other indicating you’re at the null point, you’ve found the pipe location. 

Step Three: Now move the locator between the null points. When you’re directly over the camera, the diamond appears at the center of the circle indicating the camera location. Depth will automatically appear on the screen, as well. The line location compass will tell you which way the pipe lays. 

If you’re locating buried utilities or active power lines instead, circle the energized pipe or active power line until the diamond appears on the line. 

Hot Spot locator features:

 

  • Easy-to-read display — Icons lead you to your target and an auto backlight lets you locate in dimly lit areas.
  • Total field antenna array — The antenna array allows you to locate from any direction.
  • Line direction compass — The compass tells you the lay of the pipe.
  • Rugged — Its IP65 rating is the industry’s highest for performing in dusty, dirty or wet job site conditions. It passed the 1-meter drop test and the screen passed the 18-inch steel ball drop test.
  • Superior battery life — The battery lasts approximately 30 hours, more than twice as long as others, and the automatic shutdown feature saves power.
  • Expanded frequencies — The unit locates two sonde frequencies (512 Hz and 33KHz), two power frequencies (60 Hz and 180 Hz), and four line frequencies with external transmitter (1 KHz, 8 KHz, 33 KHz and 65 KHz).
  • Upgradeable software — Use the USB port to upgrade software in the field or for a screen capture.
  • Simple, menu-based user interface — Easy-to-access menus make it easier to use than other locators. No need for multiple screens. 

The Gen-Eye Hot Spot Locator is so easy to use, you find locating to be faster and more productive. That means more profitability for your business. To really appreciate how easy the Gen-Eye Hot Spot is to use, you have to try it for yourself.
