Description

Chauvin Arnoux LOCAT-N C.A 6681 Cable Locator

Product Details:

The Chauvin Arnoux LOCAT-N C.A 6681 Cable Locator is comprised of two elements, the C.A 6681E Transmitter and C.A 6681R Receiver. Together they can be used to perform an array of functions which can be utilised by electricians, plumbers, heating engineers and telecommunication specialists. Some of the tasks this product can aid an electrician in completing are:

  • Locating and tracking lines and sockets
  • Identifying the network voltages and searching  for circuit interruptions
  • Identifying the fuses which correspond to the socket to which the transmitter has been connected
  • Locating line interruptions
  • Detecting the cause of short circuits
  • Tracking buried circuits

A heating engineer and/or plumber may use this product to:

  • Detect faults in under-floor heating
  • Detect metal heating ducts
  • Detect metal water pipes
  • Locate copper and steel pipes
  • Track plastic pipes
  • Detect a pinched/ obstructed section in a non-metallic pipe

This product can be used by telecommunication specialists to:

  • Locate cables
  • Identify a pair in a strand

This product is also ideal for housing maintenance, renovation and improvement as it can be used on both current carrying and non-current carrying mains circuits.

Therefore the Chauvin Arnoux LOCAT-N C.A 6681 Cable Locator is a versatile product. It has been optimised to be versatile in every way, for example, both elements included in this product are lightweight and handheld. They both feature large LCD, backlit displays with optimised contrast, and contain built-in torches, ensuring that the Chauvin Arnoux LOCAT-N C.A 6681 Cable Locator can be used in a multitude of environments, as well as being capable of performing a multitude of tasks.

Further to this, the transmitter and receiver can both display bar graphs and their respective, remaining battery lives (the receiver will also display the transmitter’s battery life in addition to its own).

The C.A6881E Transmitter and C.A 6681R Receiver are both easy-to-use and allow the user to access various modes and functions. The C.A 6681E Transmitter can be used to adjust the output power and change the transmission code, whilst the C.A 6681R Receiver allows the user to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic and manual detection, as well as select either the cable detection or mains-voltage detection modes.

The C.A 6681R Receiver also has large function buttons, adding to the product’s ease-of-use.

Another feature present on the receiver is that it will display the measured signal both in the form of a value and in the form of a bar chart which uses acoustic signals, whose amplitudes vary in proportion to the signal distance, to display the signal details.

The Chauvin Arnoux LOCAT-N C.A 6681 Cable Locator is multifunctional, practical and easy-to-use, an excellent addition to any toolkit, especially as it also contains digital technology which works to improve the accuracy of the location details, as it reduces the influence of interference or disturbance signals.

Our website is designed for quick, transactional purchases rather than bulk or palletised orders.
Please contact us in advance for a tailored freight quotation if your order falls into this category.


⏱ Dispatch & Delivery Timing

We aim to dispatch all in-stock orders promptly, but delivery depends on both when you order and which service you select.

  • UK orders: placed by 2:00 PM Monday–Friday are usually dispatched the same day.
  • International orders: placed by 2:00 PM Monday–Thursday are usually dispatched the same day.

Orders placed after these times are processed the next working day. This means delivery may occur the following day or later, depending on the courier and service selected.

Once dispatched, your chosen delivery service determines how quickly your parcel arrives:

  • Standard services We use Royal Mail Tracked 24 or DHL Parcel as our ‘Standard’ services. They are not guaranteed to arrive next working day.
  • Premium services (e.g. Royal Mail Special Delivery or DHL by Noon) offer guaranteed delivery windows.

If your order is time-sensitive, we strongly recommend choosing a guaranteed service or contacting us before ordering to confirm availability.

Please note: For logistical reasons, we may occasionally adjust the delivery method selected at checkout. For example, smaller items may be better suited to letterbox-friendly packaging or may be at greater risk of delay or loss via certain services. We actively monitor courier and postal service disruptions—including strikes and delays—and may modify shipping arrangements to help ensure timely and secure delivery.


📅 Busy Periods & Delays

We always aim to dispatch promptly, but delivery times may be affected by:

  • Seasonal demand (e.g. Christmas, bank holidays, or industry shutdowns)
  • Courier network delays outside our control
  • Supplier lead times or calibration requirements for certain equipment

If your delivery is time-critical, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm stock and courier availability.


🌍 International Shipping

We ship worldwide using UPS Express Saver® and other trusted global courier partners. All international shipments are tracked and generally dispatched Monday to Thursday to ensure smooth customs clearance and transit.

Estimated delivery times:

  • Europe: 1–2 working days
  • North America: 2–3 working days
  • Asia-Pacific & Rest of World: 3–5 working days

Delivery times vary depending on location, customs clearance, and local courier performance.


💰 Taxes, Customs & Import Duties

International customers are responsible for any applicable taxes, customs charges, or import duties.
These are not included in our product or shipping prices.
