With patented Target Identification (TID™) technology, deep detection range, and field-ready durability, it’s trusted by municipalities, contractors, and utility crews nationwide.

Functionality and Features

Patented Target ID System
The FPID 2100’s exclusive TID™ technology identifies likely utility targets and filters out junk iron, helping reduce false positives and prevent unnecessary excavation. This allows operators to confidently locate valve boxes, curb stops, and manhole covers without second guessing the signal.

Deep Detection Range
Engineered for professional-grade performance, the FPID 2100 locates large ferrous objects at impressive depths:

• Valve boxes: up to 9 ft
• Survey markers: up to 8 ft
• PK nails: up to 14 in

Precise Pinpointing
With 1" center-axis accuracy, the FPID 2100 makes quick work of locating exact dig points, essential for saving time and minimizing disruption in utility and survey operations.

Fence-Line Friendly
Unlike many magnetic locators, the FPID 2100 is stable and accurate even when targets are adjacent to chain-link fences or other metal structures, reducing interference and increasing confidence in cluttered environments.

Portability and Power

Lightweight and Balanced
Weighing just 2 lbs and measuring 34" in length, the FPID 2100 offers excellent balance for one-handed use. It’s easy to carry, maneuver, and operate, even in tight, overgrown, or off-road areas.

Long Battery Life
Powered by a single 9V alkaline battery, the FPID 2100 delivers up to 55 hours of run time. A built-in battery indicator ensures you're never caught without power in the field.

Glove-Friendly Controls
Oversized toggle switches and a rugged ABS plastic body allow for operation with heavy gloves, in wet weather, or when visibility is limited, deal for utility crews working year-round.

Durability and Build Quality

Built for Harsh Conditions
Fully water-resistant up to the control housing (30"), the FPID 2100 is ready for muddy trenches, snow-covered streets, and everything in between. Its durable housing is designed to withstand drops, vibration, and daily job site abuse.

Visual and Audio Alerts
The unit delivers a loud, pulsing tone when it detects a ferrous object and includes dual LED indicators. In TID mode, the LED signals whether the object is a likely utility target or possible trash metal.

Made for Professional Use
Backed by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, the FPID 2100 is a trusted solution for municipal utility locating, infrastructure maintenance, and buried asset retrieval.

Compatibility and Versatility

All-Purpose Locating Tool
Perfect for locating valve boxes, curb stops, manhole covers, steel pipes, and other buried ferrous assets, whether in concrete, asphalt, or deep soil.

Easy to Transport
Each unit comes with a soft carrying sleeve for safe storage and quick mobility between job sites.

Ease of Use and Support

Simple Setup, No Calibration
The FPID 2100 requires no tuning or calibration, just turn it on and start locating. Two switchable operating modes allow users to toggle between standard audio/LED detection and full Target ID functionality.

Minimal Training Required
