Underground Cable Locator for Utility Maintenance Malaysia

Underground Cable Locator for Utility Maintenance Malaysia

Why Do Utility Maintenance Teams Need an Underground Cable Locator?

Underground utility maintenance is rarely just about finding “a cable somewhere below the ground.”

The real job is usually more demanding:

find the correct underground route,

distinguish the target from adjacent utilities,

follow it over distance,

check depth,

identify the cable at another accessible point

and, in some cases:

investigate a suitable ground or sheath fault.

The FUZRR ES7080 Underground Utilities Locator is designed specifically for underground cable and metallic-pipeline path detection, survey, depth measurement, cable identification and optional fault-search applications. The manufacturer also lists pipeline management, maintenance and power-supply departments among its intended users.

For utility maintenance, the strongest positioning is:

FIND → TRACE → VERIFY → MEASURE → IDENTIFY → MAINTAIN


1. Utility Maintenance Is Different From One-Time Pre-Excavation Scanning

A civil contractor may need to know:

“Is there a buried cable inside this excavation area?”

A utility maintenance team may need to know much more:

“Where does this cable start?”

“Where does it go?”

“Which route is ours?”

“Has the route changed?”

“Which cable is it inside the chamber?”

“How deep is it?”

“Can we relocate it again next month?”

That means a professional utility locator must support more than simple presence detection.


2. Typical Utility Maintenance Applications

The ES7080 can potentially support work involving:

underground electrical cables,

metallic utility pipelines,

distribution feeders,

industrial utility routes,

roadside service corridors,

substation-to-building routes,

factory utility networks

and other conductive buried infrastructure.

The manufacturer's documentation specifically states that it is suitable for underground metal-pipeline detection and patrol, pipeline management and maintenance, municipal planning and construction, and power-supply applications.


3. Application 1 — Routine Underground Utility Patrol

Maintenance should not always begin after a fault occurs.

A utility team can periodically verify important routes such as:

Substation
    ●
    │
    ●────●────●────●────●
                         │
                         ●
                      Building

This can help maintain better knowledge of:

route alignment,

turning points,

crossings,

access points

and:

reference depth locations.

That is consistent with the manufacturer's positioning of the ES7080 for utility detection, patrol and maintenance.


4. Application 2 — Re-Locate a Cable When Surface Markings Are Gone

Temporary utility markings do not last forever.

They can disappear because of:

rain,

road resurfacing,

construction,

landscaping

or:

normal site activity.

If the actual buried route has been established previously, the ES7080 can be used again to retrace the conductive target under suitable conditions.

This makes the instrument useful as a maintenance asset rather than only a pre-digging tool.


5. Application 3 — Locate an Unknown Operating Utility

Sometimes a maintenance team receives a complaint or work order but has incomplete route information.

The first question becomes:

“WHERE IS THE UTILITY?”

The ES7080 receiver supports passive detection without requiring the transmitter.

Passive power-frequency modes include:

50Hz

60Hz

250Hz.

These modes can help find candidate operating underground utilities.


6. Passive Search Is a Discovery Method

Conceptually:

        RECEIVER
           ↓

──────────────────────── Ground

 ? Cable ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The operator systematically searches the area for repeatable linear responses.

The advantage is:

NO TRANSMITTER CONNECTION IS NEEDED FOR THE INITIAL SEARCH.

But passive detection should not be mistaken for final target confirmation.


7. Power-Frequency Detection Does Not Prove Utility Ownership

A passive Power response does not automatically mean:

TNB cable,

specific feeder,

specific voltage class

or even:

definitely a power cable.

Metallic pipelines may carry induced power-frequency current.

Therefore:

PASSIVE POWER FINDS A FIELD.

It does not automatically tell you who owns the utility.


8. RF Search Adds Another Passive Detection Method

The receiver also supports passive RF detection bands centered around:

32.7kHz, 65.7kHz, 81.9kHz and 197kHz.

A practical unknown-utility workflow can therefore be:

POWER SEARCH

RF SEARCH

MARK CANDIDATE ROUTES

TRACE EACH ROUTE

USE ACTIVE LOCATING WHERE POSSIBLE


9. Utility Maintenance Should Search Systematically

For an unknown area:

↑      ↑      ↑      ↑
│      │      │      │
↓      ↓      ↓      ↓

←────────────────────→

↑      ↑      ↑      ↑
│      │      │      │
↓      ↓      ↓      ↓

Search from more than one direction.

Why?

Because the objective is not:

“FIND THE FIRST STRONG SIGNAL.”

The objective is:

“UNDERSTAND WHAT UTILITIES ARE PRESENT.”


10. Application 4 — Trace a Known Cable

Once a target cable is known, the ES7080 transmitter supports:

DIRECT CONNECTION

CLAMP COUPLING

INDUCTION.

These three methods give utility personnel flexibility depending on:

target access,

cable condition,

site safety requirements

and:

required selectivity.


11. Direct Connection Is the Most Selective Option Where Suitable

The manufacturer's manual describes Direct Connection as the method that can provide maximum transmitting current under suitable conditions.

Its general detection scope is stated as cable lengths up to:

0–20km

depending mainly on:

grounding resistance,

cable resistance

and:

buried depth.

This is a general scope—not a guaranteed distance for every installation.


12. Why Direct Connection Matters to Maintenance Teams

Suppose three underground services run together:

Cable A  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TARGET   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cable C  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A controlled signal on the target is more useful than a broad regional signal.

The maintenance objective becomes:

FOLLOW THIS SPECIFIC UTILITY

instead of:

FOLLOW WHATEVER SIGNAL IS STRONGEST.

Electrical connections should only be performed by trained and authorized personnel following the manufacturer's safety procedures.


13. Clamp Coupling Provides Another Target-Signal Method

The ES7080 transmitting clamp can apply the locating signal inductively around an accessible cable.

The manufacturer's specifications list a transmitter clamp jaw size of approximately:

φ125mm.

The general Coupling detection scope is stated as up to:

0–10km

depending mainly on grounding resistance, cable resistance and burial depth.

Again, this is not a guaranteed fixed range.


14. Clamp Coupling Can Be Useful During Maintenance of Operating Systems

Under appropriate conditions, Clamp Coupling allows signal application without direct conductor connection.

This can be useful when working around accessible operating cable systems.

However, the effectiveness depends on the electrical and grounding arrangement.

The maintenance team should not assume every accessible cable is automatically a good coupling target.


15. Induction Is Useful for Regional Utility Exploration

The ES7080 also supports Induction.

No physical connection to the target is required.

Conceptually:

        TX
      [    ]

──────────────────────── Ground

Utility ? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This can be useful when the approximate route is known but no direct access point is available.


16. But Induction Has Lower Selectivity

Nearby utilities can also pick up the transmitted signal.

For example:

Target    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cable B   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Pipe C    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The transmitter may excite more than one conductive route.

Therefore:

INDUCTION = CONVENIENT

but:

DIRECT TARGET SIGNAL = GENERALLY MORE SELECTIVE

where suitable.


17. ES7080 Induction Is Intended for Shallower Cables

The manufacturer specifies that the Induction method is suitable for cables buried:

LESS THAN 2m.

This should not be confused with the separate:

0–20m DEPTH-MEASUREMENT RANGE.

They describe different things.


18. Application 5 — Trace Long Utility Routes

Utility networks often extend much farther than a typical factory excavation zone.

The ES7080 provides 11 active frequencies:

640Hz, 1.28kHz, 2.56kHz, 3.20kHz, 4.09kHz, 8.19kHz, 10.2kHz, 32.7kHz, 65.6kHz, 81.9kHz and 197kHz.

This allows the operator to adapt frequency to different route and coupling conditions.


19. Why Frequency Choice Matters

Lower suitable frequencies generally provide:

longer propagation

and:

less unwanted coupling.

Higher frequencies can couple more easily to high-resistance or difficult targets, but may also transfer more readily to adjacent utilities.

Therefore:

THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY THE BEST FREQUENCY.

A maintenance technician should use the lowest suitable frequency that gives a stable target response.


20. 3.20kHz Is a Useful General Cable-Locating Starting Point

The manufacturer's cable-identification guidance states that:

3.20kHz

can meet most test requirements as the default identification frequency.

For general active cable locating, it is also a practical starting point under suitable conditions.

But the operator should still adjust based on:

route length,

target signal,

interference

and:

adjacent utilities.


21. Application 6 — Prevent Wrong-Line Tracking

This is one of the most important utility-maintenance problems.

Imagine:

TARGET       ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ADJACENT     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The target initially produces the stronger response.

Farther away, the adjacent line becomes shallower:

TARGET       ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  deeper

ADJACENT     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  shallower

Now the adjacent utility may look stronger.

If the operator follows signal strength alone:

THE RECEIVER CAN JUMP TO THE WRONG LINE.


22. Current Direction Is Designed to Help With This Problem

The manufacturer specifically states that Current Direction Determination can be used to calibrate the current direction, eliminate adjacent-line interference and prevent tracking errors.

Current Direction is therefore one of the strongest ES7080 features for utility-maintenance work.


23. Current Direction Is Not Available at Every Frequency

The Current Direction function is available on selected low frequencies:

640Hz

1.28kHz

2.56kHz

3.20kHz

This gives the technician another parameter for checking:

“AM I STILL FOLLOWING MY ORIGINAL TARGET?”


24. Current Measurement Also Helps Verify the Target

The ES7080 receiver displays cable depth and current value in real time.

So instead of using only:

SIGNAL STRENGTH

the technician can compare:

signal strength,

measured current,

current phase/direction

and:

route continuity.

The manufacturer specifically describes using differences in signal strength and measured current phase to distinguish target and adjacent cables.


25. Application 7 — Follow the Route Continuously With Wire Cruise

Utility maintenance may involve walking hundreds of metres or more.

The ES7080 Wire Cruise mode provides:

360° omnidirectional path indication,

continuous depth display,

current

and:

relative pipeline position.

Conceptually:

Start
 ●━━━━●━━━━●━━━━●━━━━●━━━━●━━━━●
                                  End

This is particularly useful for:

ROUTE PATROL AND CONTINUOUS TRACING.


26. Classic Positioning Provides Detailed Directional Information

Classic Positioning provides:

compass,

direction

and:

signal-amplitude information.

This is useful when:

re-establishing the centreline,

checking a turn,

investigating a branch

or:

refining the target position.


27. Application 8 — Separate Multiple Utilities

The receiver provides three locating methods:

Wide Peak

Narrow Peak

Sound Valley.

Each gives utility-maintenance personnel another way to interpret the target field.


28. Wide Peak for General Route Following

Wide Peak provides a broad, sensitive response.

Think:

WIDE PEAK = FIND & FOLLOW

Useful for:

initial acquisition,

general patrol

and:

recovering a weak route.


29. Narrow Peak for Congested Utility Corridors

Where several conductive utilities run close together:

Utility A ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Utility B ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Target    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Utility D ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Narrow Peak can provide a more sharply defined response.

Think:

NARROW PEAK = SEPARATE & REFINE


30. Sound Valley Provides Another Position Check

Sound Valley uses the minimum-response position.

In a clean field:

        PEAK
          ↓
──────────●──────────
          ↑
        VALLEY

the Peak and Valley positions should correspond closely.

If they do not, investigate possible distortion.


31. Application 9 — Detect Electromagnetic Field Distortion

Utility corridors can contain:

parallel cables,

metallic pipes,

grounding systems,

steel reinforcement

and other conductive structures.

These can distort the electromagnetic field.

The ES7080 therefore includes:

SIGNAL DISTORTION MEASUREMENT MODE.


32. How Signal Distortion Mode Helps

The manufacturer describes an undistorted field as one where:

Peak and Valley positions are consistent

and:

the field shape is symmetrical around the centreline.

If that symmetry is lost:

THE APPARENT POSITION MAY BE LESS RELIABLE.

For utility-maintenance work, this is useful because it tells the operator when more verification is needed.


33. Application 10 — Measure Utility Depth

Once the correct route is established, the ES7080 provides real-time depth measurement.

The manufacturer specifies:

0–20m

as the measurement-depth range.

This figure should be understood as an instrument measurement range—not a promise that every buried cable or pipe can always be located at 20m.


34. Depth Should Never Be the First Measurement

The correct maintenance sequence is:

TARGET

ROUTE

CENTRELINE

FIELD QUALITY

DEPTH

If the receiver is following the wrong adjacent cable, even a stable depth reading is irrelevant.


35. Depth Information Is Valuable for Maintenance Records

A utility team can record:

route position,

estimated depth,

crossing points

and:

reference landmarks.

Example:

Route Section Utility Depth Reference Notes
Substation → Chamber A Cable Field reading Straight section
Chamber A → Road Crossing Cable Field reading Parallel utility nearby
Road Crossing Cable Field reading Verify before excavation
Pipe Corridor Metallic pipe Field reading Multiple utilities

This turns utility locating into:

ASSET INFORMATION MANAGEMENT.


36. Application 11 — Identify One Cable Among Many

A utility route may terminate at:

a chamber,

substation,

distribution point

or:

cable rack.

The technician may then see:

○ Cable 1
○ Cable 2
○ Cable 3
○ Cable 4
○ Cable 5

The question changes from:

“Where does the cable run?”

to:

“WHICH PHYSICAL CABLE IS THE TARGET?”


37. ES7080 Has a Dedicated Cable Identification Function

The manufacturer specifies:

1–20 CALIBRABLE CABLES

for flexible-clamp intelligent identification.

The system compares the candidate cable signal against calibration data.

Successful identification is marked:

while a non-target cable is marked:

×.


38. Cable Identification Is a Separate Maintenance Function

This matters because route tracing alone cannot always uniquely identify a physical cable inside a group.

Conceptually:

Route tracing:

GROUND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
            ↓
         Chamber

Cable identification:

○ ○ ○ ○ ○
      ↑
    WHICH?

ES7080 provides both workflows in the same system.


39. Important Live Cable Identification Limitation

The manufacturer states:

LIVE CABLE IDENTIFICATION IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THREE-CORE ARMORED CABLES.

This limitation should always be stated clearly.

It does not mean that ordinary route locating is restricted to three-core armored cables.

It applies specifically to the live-cable-identification function.


40. Application 12 — Identification of Shutdown Cables

For non-operating cables, the manual's cable-identification section states that:

CORE WIRE–EARTH CONNECTION IS PREFERRED

under the manufacturer's prescribed procedure.

Because this involves electrical connections, such work should be carried out only by competent personnel following proper isolation and safety procedures.


41. Application 13 — Locate Metallic Pipelines

The ES7080 is also intended for:

UNDERGROUND METAL PIPELINES.

For utility-maintenance teams, this may be useful for suitable:

metal water pipelines,

industrial pipelines,

fire-water services

and:

other conductive utility lines.


42. ES7080 Does Not Detect the Liquid Inside the Pipe

This is important.

If ES7080 traces a metallic water pipeline, it is detecting:

THE CONDUCTIVE PIPE

not:

THE WATER.

It is therefore not an acoustic water-leak detector.


43. Non-Conductive Plastic Pipes Need Another Locating Strategy

Ordinary:

PVC,

PE,

HDPE

or other non-conductive pipe without a conductive tracer is not a normal electromagnetic ES7080 target.

Before quoting a utility locator for a pipeline project, ask:

“WHAT MATERIAL IS THE PIPE?”


44. Application 14 — Utility Route Verification Before Repair

Suppose a maintenance team suspects damage near:

Chamber A ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chamber B

Before excavation, it should first determine:

exact route,

nearby utilities,

depth,

signal distortion

and:

target identity.

The excavation can then be focused on a much smaller and better-understood area.


45. Application 15 — Optional A-Frame Ground Fault Search

The ES7080 receiver specification includes:

A-FRAME FAULT DETECTION — OPTIONAL FUNCTION.

This can support suitable:

ground faults,

cable sheath faults

and:

insulated pipeline coating faults

under the manufacturer's specified conditions.

This expands the maintenance application beyond normal route locating.


46. A-Frame Does Not Find Every Cable Fault

The A-frame uses a step-voltage / ground-potential principle.

It requires a suitable fault condition where the test signal can leak into earth.

Therefore it should not be sold as:

“UNIVERSAL CABLE FAULT LOCATOR.”

Different fault types may require different diagnostic and pre-location instruments.


47. Application 16 — Maintenance After Construction Changes

A common long-term utility problem is:

ORIGINAL ROUTE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

after years of work:

REPAIRED / MODIFIED ROUTE
━━━━━━━┓
       ┃
       ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If the revised route was not documented accurately, future work becomes harder.

A utility maintenance team can use locating work to improve the current record.


48. Application 17 — Build a Verified Utility Map

A systematic maintenance programme could record:

START POINT

ROUTE

TURNS

CROSSINGS

CHAMBERS

DEPTH REFERENCES

TARGET IDENTIFICATION

END POINT

This is much more useful than a sketch containing only two endpoints.


49. Application 18 — Reconfirm Utility Routes Before Third-Party Work

Utility owners often have outside contractors carrying out:

roadworks,

drainage,

building works,

boring,

piling

or:

maintenance excavation.

Before handing over the work area, the utility team can reconfirm important routes.

This creates a stronger interface between:

UTILITY OWNER

and:

CIVIL CONTRACTOR.


50. Why Anti-Interference Matters in Utility Maintenance

The ES7080 receiver uses a very narrow receiving frequency band and digital processing intended to suppress power-frequency and harmonic interference from adjacent operating cables and pipelines.

This is relevant in:

urban utility corridors,

industrial plants,

substations

and:

dense electrical infrastructure.

But anti-interference capability does not mean interference can be ignored.


51. Close-Range Transmitter Interference Still Matters

The manufacturer states that during Coupling and Induction, transmitter interference increases with:

higher transmitting power

and:

higher frequency.

The manual gives approximately:

5m

as a utility-detection reference distance and:

20m

as a no-interference reference, while emphasizing that the actual distance should be established by testing.

Therefore:

DO NOT INTERPRET THE FIELD DIRECTLY BESIDE THE TRANSMITTER AS IF IT WERE NORMAL TARGET RESPONSE.


52. More Power Is Not Always Better

The ES7080 transmitter is specified at:

15W MAXIMUM OUTPUT

with:

9 ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT LEVELS in the technical specification.

In a congested utility corridor, excessive output can create more unwanted coupling.

A better principle is:

USE ENOUGH POWER FOR A STABLE TARGET SIGNAL.

Not:

ALWAYS USE MAXIMUM POWER.


53. Common Mistake — Following Only Signal Strength

The strongest signal may belong to:

a shallower adjacent cable,

a better grounded pipeline

or:

a coupled conductor.

Utility maintenance should combine:

SIGNAL

  •  

CURRENT

  •  

CURRENT DIRECTION

  •  

ROUTE CONTINUITY

  •  

FIELD DISTORTION

where applicable.


54. Common Mistake — Assuming Passive Search Finds Everything

Passive detection depends on naturally present signals.

Some underground utilities may produce little or no useful passive response.

Therefore:

NO PASSIVE SIGNAL ≠ NO UTILITY.

Use multiple locating methods where practical.


55. Common Mistake — Treating Depth as Absolute Truth

Depth measurement is valuable, but it is only meaningful when:

the correct target has been established,

the field is sufficiently clean

and:

the receiver is properly positioned.

A confident-looking number does not remove the need for professional verification.


56. Common Mistake — Assuming Every Cable in a Chamber Can Be Identified Live

No.

The manufacturer specifically limits live cable identification to:

THREE-CORE ARMORED CABLES.

This should be checked before planning the identification job.


57. Common Mistake — Using Induction When Better Target Access Is Available

Induction is convenient but less selective.

If a suitable Direct Connection or Clamp Coupling point exists, that may provide better target control.

Utility maintenance is not about choosing the easiest transmitter method.

It is about choosing the method that gives the clearest target result.


58. Common Mistake — Stopping When the Route Reaches a Junction

A junction is exactly where additional verification becomes important.

Example:

━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━
            ┃
            ┃

Do not simply guess which branch is the target.

Trace each likely route and compare:

current,

Current Direction,

signal behaviour

and:

known infrastructure information.


59. Recommended Utility Maintenance Workflow

For routine utility route maintenance:

STEP 1 — REVIEW EXISTING RECORDS

STEP 2 — IDENTIFY KNOWN ACCESS POINTS

STEP 3 — PASSIVE SEARCH UNKNOWN AREAS

STEP 4 — MARK ALL REPEATABLE ROUTES

STEP 5 — APPLY AN ACTIVE TARGET SIGNAL WHERE SUITABLE

STEP 6 — SELECT AN APPROPRIATE FREQUENCY

STEP 7 — FOLLOW THE ROUTE WITH WIDE PEAK / WIRE CRUISE

STEP 8 — USE NARROW PEAK IN CONGESTED CORRIDORS

STEP 9 — MONITOR CURRENT

STEP 10 — USE CURRENT DIRECTION WHERE APPLICABLE

STEP 11 — CHECK SIGNAL DISTORTION

STEP 12 — VERIFY CENTRELINE

STEP 13 — MEASURE DEPTH

STEP 14 — IDENTIFY CABLE AT ACCESSIBLE END IF REQUIRED

STEP 15 — RECORD ROUTE + DEPTH + CROSSINGS

STEP 16 — UPDATE UTILITY MAINTENANCE RECORDS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ES7080 suitable for utility maintenance?

Yes. The manufacturer's documentation specifically lists underground metal-pipeline detection and patrol, pipeline management and maintenance, municipal planning/construction and power-supply applications.


Can ES7080 trace long underground cables?

The manufacturer states that Direct Connection can generally cover cable lengths up to 0–20km, depending on grounding resistance, cable resistance and buried depth.

That should be treated as a general detection scope, not a guaranteed distance.


Can it locate a cable without connecting the transmitter?

Yes. The receiver provides passive Power and RF detection modes.

These are useful for regional searching, but they do not guarantee detection or identity of every buried utility.


Can ES7080 help distinguish adjacent cables?

Yes. The system provides signal-strength comparison, current measurement, Current Direction on selected frequencies, Narrow Peak and Signal Distortion Measurement to improve target verification.


Can it identify a cable in a group?

Yes. ES7080 supports flexible-clamp intelligent identification with 1–20 calibrable cables.


Can it identify all live cables?

No. The manufacturer states that live cable identification is only applicable to three-core armored cables.


Can it locate underground metallic pipelines?

Yes. Metallic pipeline path detection is one of the ES7080's stated applications.


Can it measure depth?

Yes. The manufacturer specifies a 0–20m measurement-depth range under suitable locating conditions.


Can ES7080 locate ground faults?

The receiver supports optional A-frame fault detection for suitable fault applications.


Can ES7080 tell me whether a buried cable belongs to a particular utility company?

No.

It locates electromagnetic responses and conductive routes. Ownership must be confirmed using utility records, asset information and appropriate field verification.


Why ES7080 Is More Than a Cable Finder for Utility Maintenance

A simple cable finder may provide:

SIGNAL PRESENT

A utility maintenance team often needs:

WHICH ROUTE?

WHICH TARGET?

WHICH DIRECTION?

IS THE SIGNAL COUPLED ONTO ANOTHER LINE?

HOW DEEP IS IT?

WHICH PHYSICAL CABLE IS IT?

CAN WE DOCUMENT THE ROUTE FOR FUTURE WORK?

The ES7080 addresses these tasks through its combination of:

multiple detection frequencies,

three transmitter methods,

Wide/Narrow Peak,

Sound Valley,

Wire Cruise,

Current Direction,

current measurement,

Signal Distortion Measurement,

depth measurement,

cable identification

and optional:

A-frame fault detection.

That makes the stronger positioning:

UNDERGROUND UTILITY LOCATING SYSTEM FOR ROUTE MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

rather than simply:

CABLE DETECTOR.


The Most Important Utility Maintenance Principle

A utility locator should not only help answer:

“WHERE IS THE CABLE TODAY?”

A good maintenance programme should also help answer:

“CAN WE FIND THE SAME CABLE RELIABLY AGAIN NEXT YEAR?”

The stronger long-term workflow is:

LOCATE

TRACE

VERIFY

MEASURE

IDENTIFY

DOCUMENT

MAINTAIN

For Malaysian utility, industrial and electrical maintenance teams, that is where the FUZRR ES7080 becomes more valuable:

NOT JUST FINDING UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE—BUILDING BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN.
