The hand-held Wire & Cable Locator is a battery-operated device for locating camouflaged or near-surface buried command wires of booby traps.
It works as a high frequency receiver which detects HF radio frequency signals, that surround wires and pipes, concealed at shallow depth in the ground.
The Locator itself operates on a passive operation principle. In areas where the ambient HF level is low or nil and where cables and wires cannot develop a sufficient signal strength for the locator, an optional signal generator, provided by a separate mobile active Transmitter module which increases or creates the ambient HF, may be used.
