Description
The Schonstedt GA-92XTd Magnetic Locator improved membrane switches so the volume and sensitivity controls are easy to adjust with one hand. The control panel also provides the user with both audio and visual indicators to communicate polarity, signal strength, and gain level to quickly and accurately pinpoint a ferrous target and determine its orientation. In addition, the battery level is indicated by a 4 segment bar graph on the control panel. A unique feature of this Schonstedt locator is its retractable shaft that can be extended for greater accuracy and retracted for storage and ease of carrying.
Schonstedt GA-92XTd Key Features
Portable and easy to transport
GA-92XTd is optimized for locating buried ferrous utilities and offers users audio and visual feedback for optimum locate performance. When not in use, GA-92XTd can retract and be stored in the holster supplied as standard, ready for action whenever you are
Battery Replacement in grip (does not expose electronics)
Schonstedt Magnetic Locators are light on battery usage, but even when new batteries are required, it is quick and easy to swap over…no tools, no messing, no hold-up
Battery & Sensitivity Indicators
GA-92XTd users can see when they need to replace the battery, while the visible sensitivity indicator also lets them have their magnetic locator set up exactly as they want
HeliFlux® sensors
Schonstedt’s unique, patented HeliFlux magnetic field sensors provide much higher sensitivity than the standard ring core sensors that most of the competition uses, giving users of Schonstedt products a clear advantage when searching for deeply buried objects and when wanting to pinpoint the exact shape of utilities
Membrane Switch for Single-Handed Operation
GA-92XTd sports a membrane keypad, offering excellent robustness and reliability to the control interface. On/volume, off and gain buttons are all within easy reach of the user’s thumb, making the User Interface single-digit operation!
Audio & Visual Output
Some users like to have visual feedback from the buried utilities they are looking for, others prefer an audio response. However, many users want to have the option, or even to use both, depending on the conditions. GA-92XTd offers users audio and visual responses, allowing users to spend more time locating and less time wishing their magnetic locator was set up differently
Signal Strength and Polarity Indications
Our bar graphs aid in pinpointing the shape and the exact location of the extremities of buried ferrous objects, helping to reduce mis-digs and false locates
7-year warranty
Users of Schonstedt products can be confident in the low total cost of ownership of their purchases because they are supported by a 7 year warranty. Some competitors offer 2 or more, but most only provide 1-year coverage
The ferromagnetic locator is fully operational whether it’s completely opened (26) or retracted (15. 5) as well as any position in between. Locating professionals will love the ease and convenience of bringing this compact, lightweight (2.4 lbs), and rugged survey pin finder to any job site in its belt-mounted holster. The Schonstedt GA-92XTd battery compartment is now located in the pistol grip handle for easy access and is operated by one 9 V battery that will provide about 24 hours of intermittent use. The Schonstedt GA-92XTd magnetic locator is a high-impact ABS modular construction with an IP54 rating for dust and water. Made in the USA.
