Can u use that 2 find a hidden valve allover the propty or will it only work 4 a certen dist what i mean i what about if the propety is verry large is there a range 4 finding valves and wires
We have gone to 5000 feet and still found valves. Very unusual to be looking at that distiance. Unless a valve is buried unusually deep in the ground, the locators have enough power to go 99.9% of the applications required distance.
SD: Many people who do regular wire tracking carry a spool of wire to extend the transmitter's black lead outside to an actual dirt ground. There are short cuts like using a power panel or telecom ground rod in the basement but the tracking may be noisy or the path less clear.
@@ArmadaTech does the 800d come with the clamp? Also, are 800 and 900 the same in capability? I mean is the only difference digital vs non? Thanks, I am in the market for one.
@@acunchevy54 The 800D doesn't come with a clamp - the Pro900 is a significant step up from the 800. Pro900 adds the clamp, AC operation, 2 tracking frequencies for longer/shorter cables, power noise filtering, pulsing or steady tracking signal and passive AC tracking. Both models have the 'Broadcast' mode. In short the Pro900 is flexible and best for finding a wide range of problems.
@@acunchevy54 The Pro800 is designed to be as immune as possible to the power influence of power transformers and transmission lines, but the Pro900 is probably better by virtue of the digital signal design. I have not compared them side-by-side in the same exact situation.

What if the sprinkler controller is in a basement and no access to 'Ground'?

The "music" is a distraction.
You're right. It was the style at the time we did it. Never again. Thanks.
Great info.
Good job!!
We try!

@@jimcarefoot9637 thanks for all the info. Do you know if the 800d gets bothered by underground electric wires? Like the 900 is not supposed to?
