VM-810/VM-850

Metrotech, one of the original names in Pipe & Cable locating, has been producing the well tried and tested 810/850 for over forty years.
The instrument includes a distance sensitive left/right guidance systemTM (pioneered by Metrotech) to provide accurate easy locating.
The 810/850 are the locators of choice for many Customers around the world. We continue to sell impressive quantities of both.

Over recent years components for these products have been made obsolete, increased in cost, and are increasingly becoming
difficult to find. This presented the challenge of designing a new VM-810/VM-850 without losing the features and performance that
made it successful. We believe we have met the challenge - the new VM-810/VM-850 combines the classic look with stunning
simplicity and performance - if you liked the classic 810/850’s you will love the new ones.

VM-810/VM-850 Features:

What’s changed ……
New Housings - more durable and water resistant
Digital Electronics
Directional Orientation (Line Direction Indicator) – a new feature to indicate orientation to the buried line
Fast Response “Simulated Analogue Display” for Speed & Reliability

The NEW VM-810/VM-850 is designed specifically as a single frequency true left/right locator with separated twin response
left/right antennas.

Distance Sensitive Left/Right GuidanceTM
The antenna system in the locator is different to a normal
locator. Instead of placing antennas on the same center line,
one antenna is offset to the right and another to the left.

This together with extremely sensitive electronics enables


the locator to find which antenna is receiving the strongest
signal and therefore indicate which direction one should
move to be over the buried line. Other locators look for the
trend in the increase or decrease of signal strength from
inline antennas. Distance Sensitive Left/Right GuidanceTM
Left/Right location provides a much sharper crisp response
making the position of the buried line easier to pinpoint.

The VM-810 (high frequency) is used mainly in the following applications:


Gas & Water Distribution Pipes
Municipal Pipe and Power Location
Contract Locating

The VM-850 (low frequency) is used mainly for:


Pipeline Location
Power Cable Location
