Jameson 17-300RTK Cable & Pipe Locator Kit | Receiver + Digital Transmitter
Cable & Pipe Locator Kit Overview
The Jameson 17-300RTK Cable & Pipe Locator Kit is a complete locating system built for utility contractors who need to trace underground cable, pipe, and tracer wire with reliable signal control and real-time feedback. This kit combines the 17-300R receiver and 17-500T digital transmitter so operators can locate buried conductive paths with less interference and fewer wasted steps in the field.
Built on Jameson’s proven precision locating system, this kit delivers accurate signal detection with minimal interference, even through bends and faulted lines. Remote transmitter control from the receiver allows operators to adjust output power and frequency from more than 400 yards away, helping reduce unnecessary walking between devices on longer runs and active jobsites.
- Complete Locating System — Includes 17-300R receiver, 17-500T transmitter, and carrying case for full cable and pipe locating.
- Remote Transmitter Control — Adjust frequency and output from the receiver at distances over 400 yards.
- Multi-Frequency Locating — 815 Hz, 8 kHz, 33 kHz, and 82 kHz for direct connect, inductive, and high-interference conditions.
- Real-Time Field Feedback — Depth and current measurement confirm line path and signal condition during locating.
- Built for Utility Work — IP65-rated receiver and transmitter handle demanding jobsite environments.
Buy separately if needed: The 17-300R Cable & Pipe Locator Receiver and 17-500T Digital Transmitter are also available as individual components.
Need to locate without direct connection? Add the 17-4HC Inductive Clamp for safe signal application on energized or inaccessible lines.
