Pin-pointing system
protrac®
Cable fault pin-pointing for acoustic breakdown faults and cable sheath faults
- Very convenient operation thanks to wireless Bluetooth® connections
- Precise 3D user guidance to the fault
- Outstanding acoustic quality (ANS – adaptive noise suppression) and range
- Saves time thanks to use of cable route data and the pre-located fault position from the BAUR Fault Location App
protrac® – the complete solution for your cable fault pin-pointing
As precise as pre-location is, it will never be able to recognise the deviations of a cable route in the ground. These can only be detected by precise pin-pointing. BAUR offers an all-in-one solution combining acoustic and electromagnetic fault pin-pointing with sheath fault location in a single system.

The advantages of the protrac® all-in-one pin-pointing device at a glance
protrac®
The protrac® pin-pointing system is used for the precise pin-pointing of cable and cable sheath faults. Combining acoustic and electromagnetic fault pin-pointing with sheath fault location in one system, it is ideal for universal application.
Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, locating the exact fault position with the protrac® is extremely fast and precise. The innovative two-level signal processing concept permits a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy, and maximum suppression of ambient noise.
The prepared measurement data is sent directly to the headphones and the CU control unit via Bluetooth®. The wireless connection ensures greater convenience and freedom of movement and dispenses with the need for cumbersome cables.

titron + protrac® – new generation cable fault location
The new BAUR titron® is a new generation cable fault location system. It is a fully automatic, centrally controlled, and intelligent system for efficient cable fault location. Recommendations for the cable fault location process are generated based on a multitude of factors that link the system, in an intelligent manner, to an algorithm specifically designed for this purpose.
