A Mini Underground Wire Locator You Can Depend On
With a price you can’t beat.
The Pro290™ Mini Underground Wire Locator is the perfect tool for contractors working with landscape lighting, invisible pet fencing or any general wiring, including telephone or CATV.
This unique underground wire tracer consists of a transmitter and an easy-to-use handheld receiver. The Pro290™ utilizes an easy-to-track 33khz frequency and a null reception mode. But the best part is that it sets up in less than a minute! Simply connect the Pro290™ alligator clip to the wire to be tracked and the other alligator clip to the ground stake in the dirt, get a good ground indication, and track the beeps with the handheld receiver.

65 Foot Tracing Snake with Integral Sonde
World’s Smallest Pipe Snake
The Armada Technologies model Pro65™ Plastic Pipe Tracing Accessory (or snake) is a simple yet effective tool for tracing an underground pipe or conduit that does not have an accompanying trace wire. The Pro65™ is the world’s smallest tracer, able to navigate 90-degree bend radius’ of just under 2 inches. This means that some of the smallest PVC or plastic pipes can now be traced without digging or cutting the pipe. In the sprinkler world, simply remove the sprinkler head, insert the Pro65™ into the pipe, and apply pressure to move it along the path. 1 1/4 inch pipe is no problem. At the end of the Pro65™ is a sonde, which acts as a beacon and sound spot when used with a 33KhZ transmitting locator. The Pro65™ works with any locator to track path but the sonde tip requires 33KhZ for the extra sound boost.
Digital, Inductive, Exceptional
The Pro900™ Digital Underground Cable Locator is the #1 locator at Armada and is a full-featured digital underground locator for contractors and maintenance personnel. Incorporating three different locating frequencies, the Pro900™
tracks metallic cabling, including CATV, electrical, telephone, sprinkler, and lighting. The Pro900™
transmits solid or intermittent signals that are easy to follow. The digital signal reception allows for crystal clear tone reception in most situations with either null or peak reception and features a KOSS stereo headset.
When you first use the Pro900™, immediately you notice the clear, clean, interference-free signal. No buzzing, no AC crackling, no drowning of your signal beneath the local electrical transformer or electric cable. All of that garbage is filtered out. What remains is a distinct beeping or continuous tone, easy to follow, easy to track. In addition, the added digital sensitivity allows for reception signal changes over splices, decoders, and other anomalies. It takes a little practice, but subtle underground changes in wire/cable features can be located, marked, and dug up.
Another big advantage to the Pro900™ is its 2 inductive mode capabilities. The Pro900™ has both the new IC3 inductive clamp and inductive antenna modes. These wireless connection methods give the Pro900™ incredible flexibility when tracking wires and cable that you either can’t or don’t wish to disconnect, like live electrical or in-service CATV lines.
The Pro900™ incorporates a 50/60Hz passive locating mode, which identifies electrical sources (power cables) and tracks them without using a transmitter of any kind. Contractors can identify the path of 50/60 Hz underground cables without disconnecting them or connecting to the cable.
The Pro900™ uses the triangulation method for depth determination. Simply acquire the wire path in the null mode, place the receiver at a 45-degree angle to that path, move the receiver horizontally in the direction the receiving wand is leaning and when you get the null again, the distance traveled is the depth of the wire.
