BAUR Protrac Cable Sheath Fault Locator

The BAUR Protrac locates cable and sheath faults, combining methods for joint location and cable tracing into a single system. The Protrac has a two-level signal processing architecture that delivers exceptional sensitivity while effectively suppressing ambient noise.

Measurement data is transmitted in real time to the headphones and the control unit via Bluetooth. The system also features intelligent automation. Measurement parameters are adjusted automatically based on environmental factors, and the intuitive capacitive touchscreen makes operation straightforward, even for less experienced users.

Five sets are available to choose from.
