The vLoc3-Pro Receiver from Vivax-Metrotech is a professional-grade utility line locator designed for utility owners, municipalities, and contractors who need accurate underground locating, advanced signal analysis, and reliable performance in congested utility environments.
Built for daily field use, the vLoc3-Pro combines multi-frequency electromagnetic locating, advanced signal processing, and intuitive visual displays to help crews confidently identify buried utilities and reduce the risk of costly utility strikes.
The vLoc3-Pro is a high-performance electromagnetic utility locator used to detect and trace underground pipes, cables, and conductive utilities. It supports a wide range of active and passive locating modes, making it suitable for water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecom applications.
Unlike entry-level locators, the vLoc3-Pro provides advanced signal visualization tools that help operators identify distortion, verify the correct line, and improve locating confidence in complex or congested areas.
If your organization needs more than basic line tracing, the vLoc3-Pro delivers:
Accurate underground utility locating
Clear signal interpretation in congested corridors
Improved confidence when identifying the correct utility
Reduced risk of mis-locates and rework
Safer excavation and maintenance operations

Available locating screens include:
Vector Locate – automatic offset detection and guidance
Plan View – real-time cable orientation mapping
Transverse Graph – visualize distortion across multiple planes
Sonde Guidance Screen – intuitive arrow-based navigation for sondes
These tools help operators quickly diagnose signal issues and confidently follow the correct utility path.
