Leica DigiCat 650i 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.

Avoiding underground cables and pipes is a major concern on construction sites. Therefore detecting the position of buried cables and pipes before excavation work can help prevent operator injury, asset damage risks and any subsequent costs. The robust Leica Digicat 500i Series cable locators are engineered for ease-of-use, enabling users to simply press the trigger and start locating.

Features

• Depth indication
• Hazard zone
• Enhanced sonde detection
• Service due indicator
• PinPoint assist
• LOGiCAT Software
• Bluetooth® connectivity

Unmatched ease-of-use

With Automatic Pinpointing there is no need for you to manually adjust the sensitivity of your Digicat cable locator ensuring you're using the optimum sensitivity for the environment you are detecting the underground utilities in. Reducing the likelihood of human error and enabling easier and more efficient cable and pipe locating. Ultimately saving you time and money.

Improved accuracy and application scope

The Leica Digicat 500i Series cable locators help you perform a wide range of cable and pipe avoidance or detection applications and should be used in conjunction with a Digitex 100t or 300t signal transmitter and/or the Digisystem accessories, for improved accuracy and range of applications.

Estimating the depth of the underground infrastructure on your construction site improves utility locating accuracy and data range. Depth estimation can be obtained by using a Digicat 550i cable locator and a Digitex 100t or 300t signal transmitter.

Leica Digicat 500i Series cable locators

There are two intellignet cable locators in this range that come with a wide range of beneficial features:

• Leica Digicat 550i cable locator – with depth estimation - hazard zone alert, signal service indicator, built-in self-test and service due indicator.
• Leica Digicat 500i cable locator – without depth estimation - hazard zone alert, signal service indicator, built-in self-test and service due indicator.

Leica Digicat benefits

• State-of-the-art Digital Processing (DSP) technology
• Automatic controls - Making the Digicat easy-to-use, requiring minimal user experience
• Power mode start-up ensuring the most potentially dangerous current carrying utilities are detected first
• Hazard Zone feature indicating shallow buried utility in power, 8 and 33 kHz modes, (within approx. 30 cm) alerting increased risk
• Built-in test function for testing hardware and software
• 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

The Digicat i- Series locators have multiple modes of operation allowing users to have maximum control at their fingertips.

• 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 Modes (8 & 33kHz) - Locates a specific signal applied by the Digitex dual frequency signal transmitter to a metallic underground conductor.
