Shortcomings in Existing Design
Handheld Operation: Traditional models like the ED8000 or 3M 1420 use a cylindrical RF antenna that achieves good accuracy but lacks a base, requiring constant handheld use. This design can be inconvenient and labor-intensive compared to models with a hollow coil antenna.
Dual Device Requirement: Often, these locators need to interact with a mobile app via Bluetooth to obtain ID and burial depth data. This requires operators to manage both the locator and a mobile phone, complicating single-person operations.
