CSCOPE DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool

Designed for use with an SGA3 Signal Generator

Hitting and damaging buried services when excavating is costly and potentially very dangerous. The C.Scope Cable Avoidance Tool is the ideal ‘pick-up-and-go tool to locate buried pipes and cables, quickly and reliably, time after time.

Safe, Simple, Quick and Reliable

The C.Scope Cable Avoidance Tool has three familiar detection modes (POWER, RADIO AND GENERATOR) to select from. Each mode provides its own specific advantages. Many operators will be familiar with these operating modes.

The POWER mode is the quickest way to detect most buried electricity cables by detecting the signal created by the electrical current itself.

The RADIO mode detects re-radiated Radio type signals that are often present on metal pipes and cables allowing their position to be determined using just the Cable Avoidance Tool alone.

The GENERATOR mode is used to detect the signal applied to a metal pipe or cable by a C.Scope SGA3 Signal Generator. In addition the Generator mode can be used to detect the signal being transmitted by a C.Scope Sonde for non-metallic pipe tracing.

When combined with a C.Scope SGA3 Signal Generator and accessories, the Cable Avoidance Tool becomes a versatile, all round pipe and cable locating and tracing package. Robustly made and equipped with LCD meter, detachable loudspeaker and easy-to-operate fingertip controls the C.Scope Cable Avoidance Tool is the ideal Locator for all levels of staff who need to be able to detect buried services quickly and with confidence.

Depth Measurement:

The DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool also features the addition of a simple to operate Depth Measurement button on the top of the product (for use in GENERATOR Mode).

 Increased Effectiveness, Less Cable Strikes

The SGA3 Signal generator (not supplied) is designed for use alongside an XL3 Cable Avoidance Tool. Using the combination of a signal generator with a Cable Avaoidance Tool makes the task of cable avoidance far more effectiveand significantly the number of buried services that can be detected and reducing the day-to-day risk of cable strikes.

The 33kHz SGA3 Signal Generator can energise a buried metal pipe or cable by either 'direct connection' to the target pipe or cable, or the simpler 'induction' method from above ground.

The CSCOPE SGA3 will optimise the performance of the Cable Avoidance Tool enabling operators to locate more buried utilities including street lighting cables.

The SGA3 features a 2 position power level adjustment so the operator has control of how much power is in use and when.
A pulsed or continuous signal output allows operators to switch to the pulsed mode at the push of a button in high interference situations and keep on tracing. 
The SGA3 has a clear audible signal output to indicate when it is in operation. A useful in-built audio mute control is also included. 

Batteries

Calibration

The DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool does require annual recalibration.

Three year Warranty

The DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool comes with a three year Warranty (conditions apply).
