TEMPO 501 Tracker II Underground Wire Locator – Locate Buried Cables Up to 7 ft Deep

Overview

Meet the TEMPO 501 Tracker II Underground Wire Locator, a dependable tool for tracing buried conductors with clarity. It can locate and map the path of wires and metallic pipes across substantial distances (up to 4,000 feet / 1.2 km) and at depths reaching 7 feet (2.2 m). This makes it suitable for a range of jobs, from home projects to professional site work, without exposing you to guesswork.

Designed for real-world use, the 501 supports both active and dead systems through inductive signal detection. This flexibility helps you isolate routes, confirm traces, and estimate depth while you work, enabling more confident planning and safer excavation when needed.

What you can locate and trace

• Electrical lines, power cables, coax, telephone, and utility wiring
• Communications cables and outdoor landscape lighting wiring
• Metallic pipes, fish tape, and invisible fence wires
• Electric dog fence cables and other buried conductors across large properties

Whether you are verifying a route for a new installation or avoiding trouble in an existing layout, this locator helps you understand what lies beneath the surface, so you can plan with greater accuracy.

Efficiency, versatility, and portability
