Cst/berger 19-200SC Magnetic Locator 4.6m Detection Depth

Product Description

The CST/BERGER 19-200SC is a professional-grade magnetic locator designed to detect ferrous objects buried below grade. Built for field use by utility locators, surveyors, and plumbing or gas contractors, this instrument reaches a maximum detection depth of 4.6 meters. The unit measures 42.75 inches in length, giving operators extended reach and a comfortable working posture during scanning. An LCD digital display provides real-time feedback along with a low battery indicator, while the sensitivity and volume controls allow techs to fine-tune detection response to site conditions. It runs on six AA batteries and weighs 3 pounds, making it practical for all-day field work.

This locator is suited for utility work, site survey, and underground infrastructure inspection in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include locating cast iron water and gas lines, iron pipes, manhole covers, valve covers, surveyors markers, masonry nails, and PK nails. The digital controls and erase feature allow operators to quickly reset readings between scan passes, reducing false positives in congested utility corridors or paved surfaces.

Key Features

• Maximum detection depth of 4.6 meters for deep subsurface ferrous object location
• LCD digital display with low battery indicator and power line indicator
• Sensitivity control and volume control for site-specific tuning
• Digital button controls with erase feature for quick field reset
• Runs on six AA batteries — no proprietary power pack required
• 42.75-inch overall length reduces operator strain during ground scanning

Compatibility

Designed for locating ferrous objects including cast iron water and gas lines, iron pipes, manhole covers, valve covers, surveyors markers, masonry nails, and PK nails in typical underground utility and survey applications.

Installation Notes

This instrument is operated by utility locating technicians, land surveyors, and licensed plumbing or gas contractors — no installation in the conventional sense applies. Before scanning near live gas or electrical infrastructure, follow all applicable site safety protocols and one-call notification requirements. Keep the locator away from strong electromagnetic interference sources that can mask target signals. Battery compartment should be inspected and contacts cleaned periodically to ensure reliable LCD readout during field use.
