The optimized rod end (1) of the LTC system increases the bending characteristics of the Polykat fibreglass profile at the transition between rod end and cable. In combination with the improved flexi-probe (2), the rod end not only reduces the risk of a rod breakage but also allows for yet smaller bending radii of up to 30 mm without a loss of thrust stability. The shortened brass insert – in connection with a high-performance plastic – ensures an optimized force transmission during insertion.

Copper conductors are built into the fibreglass cable of the locating systems, which, when connected to the transmitter, emit a locatable signal along the entire length of the cable. To do so, a transmitter cable is connected at the LTC and the second is grounded.

The illustration shows an ST-510 transmitter and an SR-24 receiver by way of example. The locating system allows the use of common transmitters and receivers in the 33 kHz range.
