Model 505 GO-FER Pipe and Cable Locator
Model 505 “Go-Fer” pipe and cable locator
Ideal for use in any environment
Durable Construction
The GO-FER is housed in a rugged, indestructible CYCOLAC case, and has injection-molded instrument panels for added strength. All electronic components are mounted on a single detachable circuit board for quick and easy maintenance. In addition, convenient battery access is made through removable doors on the transmitter and receiver. Both cases and circuitry are designed to tolerate the most extreme field temperatures.
Quartz Crystal Precision
The all new Detectron GO-FER locates buried metal structures with smooth accuracy and ease. Its quartz crystal controlled transmitter fine-tunes the signal for precise location every time. And when it comes to tracing distance, depth penetration and sensitivity, the Model 505 rivals all other pipe and cable locators on the market. The GO-FER can reach depths as great as 20 feet — and tracing distances of 1,000 feet are not uncommon.
Improved Controls
The GO-FER’s radio frequency receiver allows it to screen out distracting noise while it simultaneously detects cables and pipes with assured precision. The GO-FER is also the first locator of its kind to have a separate volume control for reducing signal loudness without sacrificing sensitivity. This feature enables quieter operation in enclosed areas where lower volume is desired.
Batteries
The Detectron Model 505 GO-FER uses Two Sets of (6) six “C” cell alkaline batteries. One set of batteries for the transmitter and one set for the receiver. Shipped with batteries, ready to operate. Batteries are exchanged in seconds through external quick release doors.
Quality Accessories
The Model 505 comes complete with ground plate/connecting cable and full operating instructions. Also available are cushioned earphones, 3-part handle, carrying strap, and a sturdy compartmented carrying case. In addition, this prestigious new instrument comes with the Detectron reputation for quality, dependability, and service.
