TheĀ SmartTraceĀ 2082 Series of underground locators provides precise information on the location, depth, and path of underground cables and pipes, enabling workers toĀ identifyĀ unknown assets and prevent damage before excavation.
Designed forĀ accurateĀ tracing and fault detection,Ā SmartTraceĀ pinpoints issues such as ground faults, sheath faults, and coating defects on pipelines or cables in direct contact with the ground. ByĀ locatingĀ where metallic conductors touch earth ground faults or leakage currents occurāsuch as from corrosion or damaged jointsāthe system enhances safety, efficiency, and troubleshooting accuracy in the field.Ā
SmartTraceĀ detects these assets by injection signals into these assets up to 6m deep toĀ identifyĀ their locations. The product integrates with Fluke'sĀ PointManĀ 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.Ā Ā
āAccidental damage to underground utilitiesĀ remainsĀ a serious challenge, contributing to approximately 60,000Ā utilityĀ āhitsā annually during digging in the United Kingdom,ā said SanidĀ Usanovic, senior technical application ,anager at Fluke Corporation. ā
SmartTraceĀ representsĀ the next step in digital utility managementābringing real-time accuracy and connected intelligence to one of the most critical stages of any project. By combining Flukeās precisionĀ locatingĀ technology with theĀ PointManĀ 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.āĀ
