Radiodetection locating equipment at CFT
Whoever wants to know where a cable or pipe runs in the ground ends up with Radiodetection sooner or later: transmitters put the signal on the line, receivers read it at the surface – route, depth, branches. The range at CFT reaches from the rugged site locator to precision location with documentation; the choice between them decides what the instrument is worth in everyday use. That is exactly what the advice is for.

Official dealer for Germany
The contract partner for German customers is CFT Group Deutschland GmbH in Erding. Advice comes before the purchase by phone, the introduction after delivery at the instrument – orders run through the group shop SEMPERDEAL.
The Radiodetection range
From the C.A.T4 site locator to precision location with RD7200 and RD8200: the families cover the span from the quick route check to survey-grade capture with documentation. Sondes such as u-LOCATE and FlexiSonde make non-metallic pipes traceable, RD510 and Transonde listen to pressure pipes, and LEXXI, MRX, RD312 and PCMx stand ready for special tasks. Which chain fits your job is settled in the conversation before the order – not in the shopping basket.
What these instruments are used for
Radiodetection builds transmitter and receiver systems, sondes and time domain reflectometry for pipe and cable location. Between the five instrument families lie the selection questions: whether the site locator is enough or the job calls for documented surveying, whether the line carries a signal or a sonde must go into the pipe. We name these limits between the ranges before the purchase – and after delivery come introduction, training and the group’s workshop service. Selling an instrument is quick. Choosing it comes first.
Introduction and training
Every electrical locating instrument bought from us comes with an introduction, expressly outdoors on the ground rather than only in the meeting room. Building on that, there is training in line location: applying the signal, recognising interference, judging depths.
Service, repair and calibration
Repair, service and calibration run through the group’s workshop service with a direct line to the manufacturer – with findings and a cost estimate before the work.
Frequently asked questions
C.A.T4 or RD8200 – how is that decided?
By the task: the C.A.T4 range is the rugged site instrument for the quick check ahead of the excavator; the RD ranges deliver precision including documentation for surveying and cadastre. Many companies run both – in different hands.
Does a Radiodetection receiver also locate plastic pipes?
Not directly – plastic carries no signal. That is what the sondes are for: they are inserted into the pipe and located from the surface. Which sonde fits which dimension, we tell you before the purchase.
Can the instruments be rented instead of bought?
Ask us – depending on instrument and period we will find a way. Whether buying pays its way hangs on how often the instrument goes out: that calculation belongs in the advice before the purchase too.
