It is a handheld receiver made to detect a 512 Hz signal emitted by a sonde (transmitter) integrated into a VS80 camera probe during pipe inspection. It lets you track the exact path of the probe underground, even when it passes out of sight within soil, concrete, or substrate, without tearing anything up.

Without a locator, you're essentially "fishing" underground. The videoscope camera displays visuals once it's inserted, but you have no idea exactly where it is along the route beneath the surface, especially through walls, slabs, or conduits. With the VS80-LCT-1 you can pinpoint the probe location on the surface, making it much easier to mark access points like cleanouts or excavation spots. This enhances safety, efficiency, and accuracy, especially in urban plumbing, utility routing, or building inspections where digging or cutting must be minimal or precise.
