VM 550
The Induction Clamp provides a precise way to apply a locating signal. It is generally used when it is not possible or convenient to access the conductor to make a direct connection but there is sufficient room to place the clamp around the cable or pipe, or when it is not safe to make a direct connection because the target cable is carrying electricity.
The Induction Clamp is a specialized inductive device, sometimes known as a toroid or coupler. All clamps are optimized to work at specific frequencies. In most cases clamps are designed to be used at frequencies generally between 8 kHz and 85 kHz.
- Apply a transmitter signal to live cables
- Range of clamps from 2” to 18”
- Induce signals on lines in a range of different situations

At a glance
The VM 500 Series are general-purpose locators that detect buried utilities in various situations. With a 50/60Hz passive power locating frequency and three active frequencies, the VM 500 series locators will meet the requirements of those wishing to detect the presence of active power cables and trace short ranges. The 1-Watt transmitter also has the additional frequency of 8kHz Fault-find, so it can be used to detect the presence of ground-to-sheath faults on cable when used with the VM-510 Stand Alone A-Frame fault locator.
The 1-Watt Transmitter applies a locate frequency by direct connection or induction. Optional Induction Clamps can clamp around a line and induce the locate signal onto it.
