Leica DigiCat 550i XF Offers

Every year site workers are injured due to inadvertently striking buried utilities such as electricity cables or gas pipelines. Obtaining accurate information about the location of buried utilities has never been more essential to protect employees and equipment during any excavation project.

Leica Geosystems Digicat locators make locating underground utilities including power cables, street lighting, telecoms, conductive pipe work, sewer camera inspection systems, easier than ever before. This increases your safety on-site and ultimately saves you time and money.

How does the Leica Digicat locate?

The Leica Digicat XF-Series locators locate buried conductive utilities by receiving electromagnetic signals which radiate from them.

The intelligent software interprets the signal data and provides the operator with an audible and visual response to the location and direction of buried utilities. Offering the user additional tracing frequencies of 512 Hz and 640 Hz, makes long distance tracing and the positioning of sewer camera inspection systems a simple task.

Benefits

• State-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology
• Automatic controls - making the Digicat easy-to-use, requiring minimal user training
• „Mode Lock - the Digicat starts in the last mode of operation assisting the survey process Hazard Zone feature indicating shallow buried utility in power, 8 kHz, 33 kHz,
• Auto, 512 Hz and 640 Hz modes
• Built-in test function – allowing operators to test the hardware and software functionality of the Digicat before use
• „LCD screen with built-in light sensor, automatically enabling the backlight in dark conditions
• Robust, lightweight design specifically engineered for tough site conditions
• „Service Due Indicator supporting planned maintenance schedules or quality systems by displaying a wrench icon after 12 months

Additional Features

• Depth indication - The Digicat 550i XF features utility depth indication, when used in conjunction with the Digitex signal transmitter or Digimouse Standard Sonde in 8kHz or 33kHz modes. With a single press of the button, operators can determine the depth of the buried utility down to 3 meters or the depth of a sonde down to 12 meters.
• Current level indication - Displays the amount of current flowing through a utility helping to trace and verify the utility to which the Digitex signal transmitter is connected.

Multiple Modes

• Auto Mode - Automatically locates power or radio signals, helping to confirm the presence of utilities upon initial site occupation, making cable detection easier and safer
• Radio Mode - Traces signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These signals penetrate the ground and are reradiated by buried conductive utilities
• Power Mode - Locates power signals radiated by energized cables which pose the most significant risk to excavation teams
• Transmitter Mode 512 Hz - Locates a specific signal applied by the Digitex signal transmitter to a metallic underground conductor
• 512 Hz & 640 Hz - Enables long distance tracing
• 8 kHz - Mid-Range distance training
• 33 kHz - Standard tracing frequency on avoidance locators, used for everyday site use
