VIVAX vScan and vScanM – Professional Kits for Detecting Underground Utilities

The VIVAX METROTECH vScan and vScanM series locators are professional kits designed for extremely precise detection and location of underground cable and pipeline routes. These devices are the perfect choice for both beginners and experienced users, thanks to their extremely intuitive operation—featuring just two buttons, a simple mode selector switch, and a sensitivity adjustment knob.

The vScan series enables versatile fieldwork, offering reliable passive location (in Power and Radio modes) and, when used with an external 1W signal generator, active location at 33 kHz and 131 kHz. These parameters are displayed on a highly legible, high-contrast LCD screen with a built-in backlight. Additionally, the vScanM model features a specialized mode designed for the quick and accurate location of metal manhole covers hidden beneath the surface.

With the operator’s comfort in mind, the machine is equipped with an integrated compass that uses clear arrows to indicate the direction of the installation in real time. The manufacturer has also placed great emphasis on workplace safety by installing a customized system of smart alarms and warnings (vibration, visual, and audible alerts from an adjustable speaker), which immediately alert the operator to issues such as infrastructure buried too shallowly or incorrect, overly wide swings of the equipment while sweeping the area.

Key features of the vScan kits:

• Effective passive (Power, Radio) and active (33/131 kHz) location.
• A compass equipped with arrows that clearly indicate the direction of the pipes or cables.
• Built-in mode for quickly locating buried metal manhole covers (vScanM model only).
• A smart and highly customizable warning alarm system designed to protect the operator.
• An automatic internal test that verifies the proper operation and calibration of the device before measurement.
• Data logging and the ability to fully customize the equipment using the innovative MyvScan app.
• Powered by commonly available alkaline batteries (D / AA), with the option to use dedicated lithium-ion battery packs.
• Optional communication via a Bluetooth module to a high-precision GPS receiver.
