Transmitter Direct Connection Leads

The direct connection lead consists of two cables, one (red clip) must be connected to the conductor being located, the other (black clip) to a suitable ground (a ground stake is provided with the transmitter). A few options are available for specific industries and conditions.
The Heavy Duty Clip version is more suited for the gas and water industries where the size of the targeted lines is larger, and connections will be made to bell housings, fire hydrants and transformer boxes. The more aggressive teeth of the heavy-duty clip also make it easier to connect to objects that are painted such as hydrants. WCT Products offers Heavy Duty Leads with an EZ Clip which makes these leads much easier to handle.
Telco Clip version is suitable for telephone cable where the user cannot access the sheath of the cable. The "bed of nails" part of this clip can be clamped onto a cable breaking the insulation allowing contact with the sheath. The Telco Clip is constructed with an Insulation Piercing Bed of Nails and spike. The Standard Clip version is more suited for day to day use where the size of the targeted lines varies, and connections will be made to common services. Since 2023, Loc3 transmitters are using the Blue Plug; older transmitters and VM transmitters (VM-810/VM-850), use the Silver, 3-prong Plug.
