Featuring a wireless and lightweight configuration, the UtilityScan’s compact size makes it extremely portable and easy to maneuver in tight survey areas. This model is designed specifically to meet the needs of electrical contractors, utility installers, and municipal and state gas and water utilities. UtilityScan works up to maximum depths of 10 meters (35 feet) and uses a 350 MHz antenna.

Featuring a robust new wireless antenna that can handle required data rates, UtilityScan is ruggedly built to withstand challenging field conditions.  The electrical design uses GSSI’s patented HyperStacking technology, which has proven to increase depth penetration in challenging soils, while also providing high near surface data resolution. The unit also has a backup Ethernet connection if Wi-Fi is not desired or allowed on a particular jobsite or facility. UtilityScan is integrated with GSSI’s LineTrac™ accessory, which helps locate specific power sources situated underground, including AC power and induced RF energy present in conduits.

UtilityScan uses a wireless tablet-based system and a simplified app-based user interface that is convenient and easy to use. The tablets feature a built-in GPS, which can be used for providing location information in the radar data file. Two tablet options are available, including the fully-rugged Panasonic® Toughpad FZ-B2 and the consumer-based NVIDIA SHIELD tablet. Weighing in at only 34 pounds, the UtilityScan when folded is 22-inches by 19.25-inches by 12.5-inches and can fit in the back of a small vehicle or in some overhead airplane compartments.
