Great video. I used my torch. 😅

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

Great job!

[@mrtechie6810]

How does the MS6818 compare to the Nofaya NF-826?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

I use both in our day to day work and they both work the same.

[@redslither6551]

I would have liked to see an example done where the wires are actually in the ground .

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

this meter can sense the wires even if they are 1mt under ground, so the testing is very similar if the wires are buried 5cm under the ground for robot lawn mowers.

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

the NF-820 and MS6818 are almost the same. I use both and find no difference at all between them.

[@drewbush6535]

how do you hold receiver? lay flat or point to the ground?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

Hold the receiver flat to the ground and across the wire at 90 degrees.

Thanks for the video! What if the phone cable is in conduit 20cm underground. Which one is the best locator?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

Thanks Trent. If you are just trying to locate the cable then either will do the job. They can still get a signal up to 1500mm under the ground. But if you are looking for a break in the cable then the 826 would give you more information on where the break might be.

[@drewbush6535]

what are the code set button for?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

This provide different signal frequencies. It is not often used when locating boundary wire breaks, but can be used if you are having issues with the default frequency.

[@1percentSolutions23]

Can this also locate S/C through studs, cement slabs or sheetrock?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

yes it can. it will actually find a cable upto 1.6mt underground.

[@edesraelouano2677]

Where can we buy those?

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

In Australia you can buy these on our website at the following link: robotlawnmowers.com.au/robot-lawn-mowers/other-accessories/underground-wire-locator-nf-826/ Outside of Australia I don't know, but if you google Noyafa NF-826 I would hope you would find someone.

You cannot be heard over the tones. Your voice is absolutely drowned by the noise the device makes.

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

I know. sorry about that. I didnt realise how bad it was until after.

[@DarylRaverty]

Put some tape over the speaker. It would help make it less volume.

[@AnimalBoss429]

Whats the use of this video? Show actual underground cabling.

[@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913]

The boundary wires are usually 2-5cm under the ground and this meter will test up to 1.5 meters under the ground. So the results would be the same. For the purpose of the video and teaching people how the detector works, showing it on the surface I believe helps.
