As one of the most affordable GPR utility locating tools in the market today, the LMX100™ completes the locator's toolbox, offering a more complete picture of the underground infrastructure. With a simple, easy-to-use interface it also offers the perfect balance of depth penetration and high resolution for accurate locating.
The LMX® family is a non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) that can locate utilities that cannot be located using traditional methods (e.g. plastic pipes or utilities that contain broken tracer wires).
The Radiodetetcion LMX100™ thinks for you, with all the data collection parameters pre-set so that you can quickly start your survey and know that your data collection is optimized.
No prior settings are required as the LMX systems have an ultrawideband (UWB) antenna allowing it to detect shallow and deep utilities in one pass.
Easily pinpoint the location and depth of a utility with the Locate & Mark mode. It incorporates a back-up feature to enable you to locate targets and mark them on the ground accurately. To locate a feature, roll the system back along the same path until the red vertical line is exactly over the response. You can mark the location of the object on the surface and continue data collection. Quickly display the depth of the feature by adjusting the cross-hair to align with the target.
DynaT (Dynamic Target) enhancement feature optimises views of small, medium, and large targets. These views can be toggled to reveal additional subsurface features, giving you unprecedented insights and target confidence in the field.
DynaQ (Dynamic Quality) technology stacks automatically depending on your survey speed. Stacking increases the depth of penetration by suppressing the background noise. A slower survey speed results in more stacks and faster speeds result in fewer stacks and the operator can always see by a colour-coded indicator the level of stacking applied. The highest data quality can be achieved at a comfortable walking speed.
