Schonstedt GA-52Cx Magnetic Locator with Hard Carrying Case

Model Number: GA-52Cx

The Schonstedt GA-52Cx Magnetic Locator is a professional underground magnetic locator designed to locate buried ferrous (iron and steel) objects quickly and accurately. Trusted by land surveyors, utility contractors, municipalities, public works departments, and construction professionals worldwide, the GA-52Cx is ideal for locating survey monuments, property pins, valve boxes, manhole covers, rebar, iron pipes, and other underground steel objects.

Unlike electromagnetic cable and pipe locators, the GA-52Cx requires no transmitter or direct connection. Using Schonstedt's patented HeliFlux® sensors, it detects disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by buried ferrous metals while ignoring non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, and plastic. This allows users to locate underground iron and steel objects faster with fewer false signals.

Built for demanding field environments, the GA-52Cx features a lightweight yet rugged aluminum housing, weather-resistant controls, five adjustable sensitivity levels, and a loud piezoelectric speaker that provides clear audible target indication. Powered by two standard 9V batteries, it delivers up to 40 hours of intermittent operation, making it a dependable tool for daily use.

This package includes the Schonstedt GA-52Cx Magnetic Locator, a durable hard carrying case, two 9V batteries, and a 7-year manufacturer's warranty, providing everything needed to begin locating immediately.

Key Features

Patented HeliFlux® Sensor Technology

Exclusive HeliFlux® sensors provide exceptional magnetic sensitivity and precise target definition, helping users quickly locate buried ferrous objects while minimizing unnecessary digging.

Detects Buried Objects Up to 18 Feet Deep

The GA-52Cx is capable of locating large underground ferrous objects at depths of up to 18 feet, making it suitable for everything from survey monuments to buried valve boxes and iron utilities.*

Five Adjustable Sensitivity Levels

Choose from five sensitivity settings to optimize performance for different locating applications, from small survey nails and property pins to large manhole covers and underground pipes.
