The Schonstedt REX-R Multi-Frequency Pipe & Cable Locator - Receiver Only is designed for utility locating professionals across industries such as water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications. This model is the receiver-only version, and does not include the transmitter. The REX-R receiver works seamlessly with Schonstedt's compatible transmitters to detect underground utilities with unmatched precision and multi-frequency versatility.
Built for portability, the REX-R features an ultralight design, retractable receiver, and rugged, water- and dust-resistant housing (IP54 rating). It operates on 512 Hz, 33 kHz, 82 kHz, and 50/60 Hz passive frequencies, allowing for effective detection of ferrous objects like manhole covers, gas valves, water valves, survey pins, and more. The REX-R is optimized for deep detection—up to 19 feet (5.8 m), depending on the soil type.
