Underground Utilities Locator
Accidentally hitting a utility line during a project can lead to
costly repairs and create hazardous public safety situations.
Digging in the wrong place can also lead to unnecessary delays
and costs for your project, and ultimately, your company. Avoid
this disruption with the rugged and durable Amprobe UAT-600
Series, designed to accurately pinpoint underground utilities and
buried services up to 20 feet deep.
Designed for electricians with a CAT IV 600 V rating, the locating
kits come complete and ready for use with a Transmitter,
Receiver, test lead kit, batteries and additional fuses, all in a
mobile, protective duffle bag.
UAT-600 Series
Accurately and safely pinpoint underground utilities before you dig
The UAT-620 kit also includes a Signal Clamp for transmitting a
signal when it is not possible to make electrical contact with the
cable to be traced. For applications where ground fault locating
is required, use the UAT-600 Transmitter in combination with the
optional A-Frame accessory.

AF-600 A-Frame
Ground Fault Locator
Save time and money by pinpointing
leakage points
Ground faults are a common problem with
electrical cables. Find any fault with the
AF-600 A-Frame cable ground fault locator,
specifically designed for use with the Amprobe
UAT-600 Series.
Set up the UAT-600-T Transmitter to apply a
fault find signal to the utility under test, the
AF-600 A-Frame receives the signal and locates
the place of the fault. The AF-600 will pinpoint
where a cable metal conductor (either a sheath
or a metallic conductor of the wire) touches the
ground and can also detect other conductors to
ground faults such as pipeline coating defects.
Detect ground
faults on cables
and pipes
AF-600-A-Frame
Ground Fault Locator
• Identify any point of leakage
around a cable
• Locate cable and wire
ground faults, sheath
faults or pipeline coating defects, where the
utility is in direct contact with the ground
• Find the exact point
where metal is touching
the ground and power is leaking, ie, a shield is
rusted or a rubber buffer is broken, creating
noise on a cable
• Advanced technology and digital signal
processing
makes pinpointing process fast,
accurate and clear:
-
Compass guidance
with numeric fault field
strength indicates the direction of the fault
-
Distance sensitive left and right arrows
guides the user to precisely follow the path
of the buried utility
-
Automatic gain control
quickly detects
tracing signal and precisely adjusts the
A-Frame sensitivity
-
Adjustable volume controls

Trace an individual utility by connecting the
transmitter directly with the test leads
The Transmitter will automatically change modes
based on which accessory is plugged in
The Receiver’s high contrast LED screen is easy to
read in full sunlight
Main applications
• Locate
energized 50/60 Hz cables
carrying current
• Identify the location of all metallic
utilities:
pipes*, energized and
de-energized cables
• Trace
individual pipes* or cables
(energized or de-energized)
*Tracing of non-metallic pipes and
conduits
is possible after inserting metal
fish tape or cable
Three active modes
using
the UAT-600-T Transmitter
• Induction
- the Transmitter will
automatically start to radiate a signal
around it using an internal antenna, used
for tracing individual cables where there
is no access to the line to connect test
leads or a clamp
• Direct connection with test leads
- the most reliable method to trace
individual cable or a pipe
• Clamp
(Included in the UAT-620 kit,
optional for the UAT-610 kit) - provides
an efficient and safe method of applying
a locate signal to a cable, where it is not
possible/safe to gain access to a cable for
making an electrical contact
Special applications
• 2 frequency options:
8 kHz and 33 kHz
• Locate
non-metallic pipes and sewer
lines
• Take depth
and current measurements
• Measure
voltage, resistance and output
current
• Advanced locating with two people
• Locate
ground faults with the AF-600
A-Frame accessory
Two passive modes
using
only the UAT-600-R Receiver
• Passive power mode
(50/60 Hz) –
tracing energized lines conducting
current (no Transmitter necessary)
• Passive radio mode
(RF) –
using surrounding radio waves
to trace underground utilities
(no Transmitter necessary)
