The聽SmartTrace聽2082 Series of underground locators provides precise information on the location, depth, and path of underground cables and pipes, enabling workers to聽identify聽unknown assets and prevent damage before excavation.
Designed for聽accurate聽tracing and fault detection,聽SmartTrace聽pinpoints issues such as ground faults, sheath faults, and coating defects on pipelines or cables in direct contact with the ground. By聽locating聽where metallic conductors touch earth ground faults or leakage currents occur鈥攕uch as from corrosion or damaged joints鈥攖he system enhances safety, efficiency, and troubleshooting accuracy in the field.聽
SmartTrace聽detects these assets by injection signals into these assets up to 6m deep to聽identify聽their locations. The product integrates with Fluke's聽PointMan聽app via Bluetooth to allow users to map and document utility locations accurately on their smartphone. The geolocation feature enhances precision and enables effective tracking in real time, as well as providing future reference points for ongoing or upcoming projects.聽聽
鈥淎ccidental damage to underground utilities聽remains聽a serious challenge, contributing to approximately 60,000聽utility聽鈥榟its鈥� annually during digging in the United Kingdom,鈥� said Sanid聽Usanovic, senior technical application ,anager at Fluke Corporation. 鈥�
SmartTrace聽represents聽the next step in digital utility management鈥攂ringing real-time accuracy and connected intelligence to one of the most critical stages of any project. By combining Fluke鈥檚 precision聽locating聽technology with the聽PointMan聽app, workers can now map, track, and verify underground assets with confidence, reducing risks, preventing costly disruptions, and driving measurable efficiency gains on every site.鈥澛�
