Pro290™ Residential Cable Locator
The Armada Technologies Pro290™ Landscape Lighting Wire Locator is a simple, purpose-built solution for finding and tracing underground wires used in landscape lighting systems, invisible fences, and other low-voltage applications. Designed for contractors and homeowners alike, the Pro290 makes underground wire tracing quick and straightforward without the complexity of larger professional locating systems.
The Pro290 uses a 33 kHz tracking signal that is easy to follow with the handheld receiver. Its transmitter delivers a limited 125 mW output, helping protect sensitive landscape lighting bulbs and components while still providing a strong enough signal for effective wire tracing.
Setup takes less than a minute. Simply connect the transmitter to the wire you want to locate, connect the included ground stake, confirm a good ground using the ground-quality LED, and follow the audible beeps with the receiver. With a locating range of up to 1,000 feet, the Pro290 gives users an efficient way to find buried wiring without unnecessary digging.

Overview
The Pro290 was designed specifically for situations where users need to locate underground landscape lighting or invisible fence wiring without damaging the connected equipment.
Unlike higher-powered underground locators, the Pro290 uses a limited 125 mW transmitter output designed to reduce the risk of damage to sensitive landscape lighting bulbs. Its popular 33 kHz tracking frequency provides an easy-to-follow signal as the receiver is moved along the ground.
A built-in ground-quality LED provides quick feedback that the transmitter has a suitable ground connection, while the receiver’s adjustable volume allows users to control the audible tracking signal. The transmitter also features an automatic shut-off to help conserve battery life.
Whether you’re installing new landscape lighting, troubleshooting an existing system, or searching for a buried invisible fence wire, the Pro290 provides a straightforward way to locate the wire before digging.
