Rycom Instruments Inc.: 8856-1W — 1 Watt 8859 Transmitter

Rycom Instruments Inc.

Rycom says its economical and dependable Path Finder II series rivals any locator at any price. The dual frequency 8856-1W locator can easily locate any metallic service line and the one-piece receiver design is lightweight and accurate, the company says. The filtering of the 8856-1W receiver easily picks up tracer signals at waist height, the company says. Two active frequencies (815 Hz/82 kHz) allow accurate tracing in congested areas or the length of a single line. Dual antennas work in peak or null mode. Powerful one watt tracing signal is reliable for direct connection, transmitter and coupled induction, the company says. The transmitter is designed to be weather and shatter proof. Made in the USA.
