Versatile
With four classes of frequencies, the TraceMaster is the most versatile locator on the market. The low range frequency is the best choice for tracing over long cable lines. Medium range frequencies are generally the most useful range for location. If the signal is weak during the beginning of a trace, you can switch to a higher range frequency. Very high range frequencies are good for rapidly sweeping for all utilities in a congested area.
Easy to Use
The TraceMaster II features simple operation with only two buttons and two knobs.
No transmitter settings are required. In addition, the receiver has the ability to operate in manual or automatic gain modes.
The receiver's LCD panel is uncomplicated and intuitive. The information display is large and easy to understand, while including everything required to monitor the transmitter remotely.
Reliable and Trouble Free
Schonstedt’s locators have been setting the standard for reliability and dependability for nearly half a century. Our locators are designed to withstand the rigors of daily on-site usage and a wide range of environmental conditions.
The TraceMaster II is backed by a three year warranty which is the longest in the industry. No periodic calibration is required.
Why Measure and Trace at Different Frequencies?
Low Frequency (575 Hz) - This frequency will not jump to adjacent conductors and can only be induced with the conductive clips connected directly to access points on the utility to be traced. Best frequency for long-distance tracing.
Mid-range Frequency (8 kHz) - This frequency will not usually jump to adjacent conductors, but may jump across nonconductive joints in a pipe for longer tracing. It can only be induced with the conductive clips connected directly to access points on the utility to be traced, or the optional inductive clamp. It is considered a good all-around frequency.
High Frequency (82 kHz) - This frequency can typically jump to adjacent conductors and can be induced by the conductive clips, the optional inductive clamp, or the built-in inductive antenna. This frequency is often used on metallic piping systems, poor conductors, and areas with limited grounding.
Very High Frequency (455 kHz) - This frequency can easily jump to adjacent conductors and it is a good frequency to use for total field survey or "quick scan" of a small area. It can be induced by the conductive clips , the optional inductive clamp, or the built-in inductive antenna.for total field survey or "quick
