Cable Detector / Cable Locator PCE-CL 20

The PCE-CL 20 is a cable detector or locator used to detect live and voltage-free electrical wires. This cable detector also can be used to locate metallic and non-metallic gas or water pipes, identify short circuits, and follow lines inside walls or under flooring.

The PCE-CL 20 is a cable detector used to locate live and voltage-free electrical wires. It can also detect metallic and non-metallic gas or water pipes, identify short circuits, and trace lines inside walls or under flooring. This makes it an essential tool for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts.

The cable detector consists of two individual units: a signal generator (transmitter) and a receiver. Both units feature bright LED lights for use in dark and dimly lit spaces. Additionally, the receiver has a backlit LCD screen for easy reading. The PCE-CL 20 enhances safety and efficiency in electrical and plumbing work by providing accurate and reliable detection.
