The VM-540 is a general-purpose locator used to detect buried pipe and cable services in a variety of situations. With a 50/60Hz passive power locating frequency and three active frequencies, the VM-540 locator will meet the requirements of those wishing to detect the presence of active power cables and to trace short ranges.
