The Armada Technologies PRO290 Mini Wire Locator is a great tool for contractors tracing underground cables like CATV and telephony drop wires. The Pro290 Mini consists of a transmitter and receiver and uses a limited power output to match sensitive electrical equipment. The Pro290 Mini uses an easy to track 33khz frequency, and sets up in less than a minute.

Simply connect the Pro290 to the wire to be tracked and to the ground stake in dirt, get a good ground indication, and track the beeps with the hand held receiver. It's that easy.

Finding breaks in wires is easy too. When tracking a wire path, the signal will end when the path ends. This could be the end of the string or wire but additionally, can indicate where a wire has been cut.
