The Seeker CATV leakage detector is designed for in-the-field cable TV leak locating and troubleshooting.
- High performance, frequency-settable leakage detector
- Ideal for drive-outs and leak location and troubleshooting
- Large numerical measurement display
- Sensitive, stable measurements, Channel Tag compatible
- Data storage and upload for documentation
Leakage Detector
The New Seeker Leakage Detector is specifically designed for efficient distribution leakage management, displaying numerical measurements of leaks on up to ten selectable channels and emitting a tone proportional to leak strength.
Mobile or handheld
The Seeker may be used in its mobile mount (included) for drive outs, or removed from the mount for leakage troubleshooting on foot with a rubber duck, or optional dipole.
Stable, repeatable readings, multi-frequency operation and leakage recording simplify leak location and documentation.
Comprehensive coverage
Durable, simple to use and very cost-effective, the Seeker is the flagship of a new generation of Trilithic leakage products, which includes the popular Seeker Lite Installation Leakage Detector.
A workforce that includes both of these leakage measurement instruments ensures leakage-free networks from subscriber to headend.
