ChrisNik HoundDog Magnetic Locator - 18CN-ID2100S

The ChrisNik HoundDog Magnetic Locator (Model: 18CN-ID2100S) is the ultimate tool for professional surveyors who need precision and efficiency in the field. Built with advanced Fence Ignoring Technology (FIT), the HoundDog is specifically engineered to locate hard-to-find ferrous survey markers, even in challenging environments like near fences or around metal structures. This magnetic locator is designed to detect positive (+) polarity at the top of ferrous metal objects while ignoring the negative (-) polarity typically found at the bottom, giving you unmatched accuracy in locating rebar, magnails, and other survey markers buried underground.

The HoundDog is not only highly efficient but also extremely versatile, working seamlessly with ChrisNik’s Magnail, MagSpike, and MagHub. Whether you're working around fences, metal buildings, or in open fields, this tool will help you find those hidden markers quickly and easily. Thanks to its patented technology, the HoundDog helps eliminate unnecessary detections of irrelevant metal objects, making it an invaluable companion for every surveyor.

Key Features:

• Fence Ignoring Technology (FIT): This innovative feature allows the HoundDog to ignore the negative (-) polarity commonly found at the bottom of fences, focusing on the positive (+) polarity of buried ferrous objects. This means you'll no longer be frustrated by false positives when working near metal fences or buildings.
• Dual Detection Modes:
  • Normal Locator Mode (Setting 1): Detects both positive and negative polarity with familiar audio tones and a red light to indicate a metal object.
  • Fence Ignoring Technology Mode (Setting 2): Specifically designed for ignoring the negative (-) polarity. It emits a steady green light and a low audio tone when detecting the bottom of a fence, and switches to the normal locator red light and audio tone when detecting the positive (+) polarity of a survey marker.
• Precision Detection: With the ability to isolate and highlight the top of ferrous markers like rebar, nails, and survey markers, this locator ensures that your search is focused and accurate, reducing the time spent digging or searching for buried objects.
• Durable and Robust Design: Built for field use, the HoundDog Magnetic Locator is made from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of professional surveying environments. It features a soft Cordura carrying case for easy transportation.
