How It Works
The AF2082 A-Frame measures small voltage signals in the ground to help you track and locate cable faults. By placing the probes into the ground and following the signal, you can find the exact point where the cable is damaged. This makes fault finding faster and more accurate, while reducing disruption on site.
Designed for Field Use
This A-Frame is made for real working conditions. It is rugged, lightweight, and easy to handle, making it ideal for use across:
- Power and electrical networks
- Telecommunications systems
- Industrial sites
- Local authority and utility work

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does an A-Frame do in cable fault finding?
A. An A-Frame is used to locate faults in underground cables by measuring voltage differences in the ground. It helps guide you directly to the point of damage.
Q2: Is the AF2082 compatible with all cable locators?
A. No, the AF2082 is designed to work with FLUKE underground utility locator systems, including compatible transmitters like the 2082T.
Q3: Do I need training to use this product?
A. The AF2082 is simple to use, but basic knowledge of cable locating and fault finding is recommended for best results. We run a course at Acutest to ccator for this
Q4: Can it reduce excavation work?
A. Yes, by pinpointing the exact fault location, it helps reduce unnecessary digging, saving both time and cost.
