Spectra Precision CR600 Magnetic Detector
The Spectra CR600 Detector is ideal for contractors doing both site preparation and general construction. It can be either staff or machine mounted, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Using the magnetic mount, the CR600 detector is easily moved between backhoes, small excavators, box blades or skid steer loaders. With such a high degree of flexibility, the CR600 is made tough enough for any job.
Features
Designed for tough construction site conditions.
Rugged, magnesium housing can withstand a drop of up to 3 m (10 ft) on concrete.
Super-bright coloured LED elevation indicators visibly indicate grade elevation information to the operator—even in poor light and up to 100 m (350 ft) in bright sunlight.
Adjustable bandwidth lets the operator tighten the on-grade band to easily meet a variety of accuracy requirements with tighter tolerances from rough grading through form levelling .
Wrap around detector cells with continuous pickup through an operating range of 270° provide less dead spots and improved productivity, especially for machine applications.
Longer, above-grade detector cells make digging with a backhoe easier than ever.
