Engineered for utility professionals, the Fisher TW82 is a high-performance digital line tracer designed to locate and trace buried utility lines with conductive properties, including metallic pipes, cables, or plastic lines with tracer wire. Its standout feature is the ability to switch between Normal and Lateral tracing modes, giving users exceptional flexibility when tracking difficult-to-detect lateral lines.
With its single-frequency 82.175 kHz operation, the TW82 provides accurate detection whether using direct conductive tracing, inductive placement, or a coupling clamp. Real-time signal strength, left/right guidance, azimuth indication, and automatic depth measurements offer comprehensive data directly on-screen. The Lateral Mode isolates weaker perpendicular signals, especially useful when tracing service lines branching from a main utility.
Built for tough field conditions, the TW82 boasts a rugged IP65-rated enclosure and operates in temperatures from -4°F to 140°F. The ergonomic two-button receiver and intuitive display make it user-friendly, while long-lasting D-cell battery operation (up to 130 hours) ensures uninterrupted field use. Compact, portable, and dependable, it's a workhorse built for daily utility locating tasks.
