Vermeer introduces the Verifier G3+ FLX utility locator combining advanced fault-finding technology with precise cable location capabilities. Learn how this two-in-one solution helps utility professionals pinpoint electrical faults with exceptional accuracy while helping reduce excavation costs.

Vermeer enhances its utility locator portfolio with the introduction of the Vermeer Verifier™ G3+ FLX locator, combining precise cable location capabilities with advanced fault-finding technology to deliver a comprehensive solution for utility professionals.

The Verifier G3+ FLX locator represents a significant advancement in utility location technology, primarily designed for power companies and utility professionals who need to identify and locate electrical faults with exceptional precision. By integrating the specialized A-frame accessory (included standard with every unit), technicians can pinpoint the exact location of underground cable faults to within 2 in - 3 in (5.1 cm - 7.6 cm) of accuracy.

"When streetlights in a neighborhood unexpectedly fail, maintenance crews face the challenge of finding exactly where along the underground cable the problem exists," said Aaron James, territory sales manager for Vermeer MV Solutions®. "With the Verifier G3+ FLX locator, technicians can locate the exact fault point — eliminating the costly and time-consuming process of excavating entire cable runs."

The new locator builds upon the foundation of the respected McLaughlin Vision FLX2, with substantial enhancements from the G3+ platform, including comprehensive GPS mapping functionality, remote control capability, current direction functionality, and ambient noise detection.

What makes the Verifier G3+ FLX locator particularly valuable is its versatility. Beyond its specialized fault-finding capabilities, it delivers full functionality as a standard utility locator — creating a versatile two-in-one solution that eliminates the need for multiple devices in the field.

The Verifier G3+ FLX includes a transmitter with specialized frequencies optimized for fault finding applications and higher wattage output compared to the current G3+ model. This elevated power output is crucial for pushing more current through damaged lines, enabling operators to successfully trace and pinpoint faults even when cables exhibit significant damage.

The innovative A-frame accessory provides a sophisticated approach to fault detection through differential current measurement. The device precisely measures the electrical current differential between its front leg (point A) and back leg (point B), allowing technicians to systematically narrow down the precise fault position with remarkable accuracy.

The Verifier G3+ FLX pairs with smartphones using the G3+ Map mobile app to plot location information, including depth, current index, GPS data, utility type, device name and operator information. This data-capturing ability allows contractors and utility owners to effectively document and manage information about underground infrastructure.

Like all Vermeer utility locators, the Verifier G3+ FLX comes with comprehensive 3-year coverage that includes water damage protection.
