521E Wire and Valve Locator

Cat No: 521E

UPC No: 810025412104

Introducing the new 521E Wire and Valve Locator from Tempo®, a groundbreaking evolution of the revered 521A® trusted by technicians for over 25 years.

With feedback from hundreds of irrigation specialists just like you, we designed the 521ETM Wire and Valve Locator to be the new market leader in lightweight, ultra-durable underground wire locators. The 521E quickly and accurately finds buried wires, irrigation valve solenoids, and faults in control cables making it the ultimate troubleshooting and maintenance tool for traditional or modern two-wire irrigation systems.

Quickly and easily find buried sprinkler valves: Start at the controller and use the 521E to follow the path of the wires to the valve. The improved noise rejection from the triple-stage filtration makes it easy to track with other utilities nearby.

Determine Depth Before Digging: The 521E sprinkler valve locator accurately determines the depth of wires with the new 45-degree angle indicator. Efficiently locates underground wire breaks, large nicks, and solenoid valves.

The ergonomically balanced receiver now has a carbon-fiber-reinforced antenna pole for extra strength and durability.
The receiver and transmitter have been modernized with LCD displays making it easy to read results even in direct sunlight. The ruggedized transmitter is now removable from the carry case.

The 521E is today’s “must have” tool for irrigation technicians.
We think the 521E is the best irrigation locator yet, and think you will too!
