Digital Cable Locating Set

SLICable & Pipe Locator for location & pinpointing of underground Metallic utilities i.e Water Pipe, Gas Pipe, Power Cables, Signaling Cables, Armoured OFC etc.. base on electromagnetic.


Digital Cable Locating SetStandard Product description

Digital Underground Cable & Pipe locating receiver & Cable Avoidance Tool with standard 3 modes of operation P/R/G that provide location and avoidance of underground power cables when used in Power Mode.

A second radio mode allows detection of non current carrying utilities such as pipes, dead cables etc.

When used in conjunction with the SGV signal generator, the cable avoidance tool converts to a pipe & cable locator that route traces and underground pipes & Cables including power cables, telecom cables, data cables, pipes etc in Generator mode. Also provides depth when used with SGV. SGV has distinct pulse & continuous output modes allowing confirmation on utility being searched – can be used in both conductive i.e direct connection mode and inductive i.e by simply keeping on the ground and inducing a signal into the utility for local blind searches. Signal clamp should be opted especially in telecom environments or survey environments where access / ability to directly connect to utility is not possible., all units are IP65 water & dust proof.

Digital Cable Locating SetP "Power Mode' for detecting live burried utilities througing out frequency range 50-

500 Hz signal e.g Power cables etc.. Using Receiver alone.

R "Radio Mode" for detecting Metallic utilities re radiating Radio signals of frequency range 10- 30 kHz Using Receiver alone.

G "Generator/ Transmission Mode" use to detect Metalic utility by applying own known frequency signals (33kH, 8k, 512/640k) using Signal Generator/ transmitter.

AS "All Scan Mode" allows to search All frequencies in the range of 50Hz to 33 kHz facilitate to detect any missed utility by above conventional search modes.

SC "Signal Current Measurment Mode"

D "Depth Mode" A push button option in receiver used to know depth of burried utility. Receiver is used along with Signal Generator.

S "Sonde Mode" Battery operated frequency generator/ Transmitter specially designed for detecting Plastic/ RCC pipes.

f "Frequency" Transmitted frequency of signals Reradited by utility or applied thru signal Generator.

TP "Transmitter Power" Signal strength "More is the power large the distance it covers also more chances of signals to jump over adjoining utility.

BT "Blue tooth" option for connectivity to enable communication with GIS mapping & logging system.

MULTI SEGMENT LCD DISPLAY FOR MXL


The instrument provides 4 different Operating modes to locate or trace buried metallic services:

Power mode : for detecting power cables, operating at standard 50Hz.

Radio mode : for detecting metallic services, whether carrying current or not

Multifrequency transmitter mode : for route tracing of specific cables even in congested areas at 32678Hz, 8192Hz and 512 (or 640Hz)

All scan mode : The Allscan mode with controllable sensitivity is an extremely important mode that allows the operator to search in all frequencies in the range of 50Hz to 33kHz even detecting signals missed by other search modes, or may be outside of the frequency range of other search modes, ensuring great efficiency in operation of the instrument. MXL Locator

Operating modes :


MXT –transmitter

• The transmitter power is designed for very long distance tracing in telecommunications networks.

• The transmitter has four selectable output power levels, from low to high.

• The MXT transmitter also provides a very unique feature of continuous and pulse output settings which allows the operator to :A. Double confirm that the trace being carried out is for the correct specific cable desired.B. Distinguish from unwanted interference , especially applicable when tracing services over longer distances or at a greater depths.

Operating modes :


The MXT transmitter works in conjunction with the MXL Locator . When operating in transmitter mode, the MXT offers the operator three transmitter frequencies. 33kHz, 8kHz and 512 Hz (or 640 Hz). There are two methods by which the transmitters signal can be applied to buried services.

Conductive line tracing (for direct connection, wherein the transmitter is connected to the cable end using mains signals inject)

Inductive line tracing induce a signal into buried metal service remotely from the surface without physically connecting (where a cable end is not available)


Power requirements

8x AA battery capsule

Built in secondary spare battery pack

4 x D cell battery capsule

* Units are compatible with NiMh rechargeable batteries

* upto 40 hours intermittent usage


Q#1 What is does?

A#1 Hitting and damaging buried services when excavating can result in costly repairs and major disruptions at work sites. The best way to avoid damaging buried services is to pinpoint their exact position., route and depth BEFORE work begins.

• Using Cable & Pipe locator we can pinpoint underground Metallic utilities

• Detect, Identify & Trace Pipe and cable networks.

FAQ’s:


Q#2 Can we locate Fibre optic line with locators?A#1 Yes if they are Armored.

Q#3 I am using locator, I found a utility in Power Mode does it means the utility detected is Power Cable?A#3

Q#4 I am in a city where all power cables are overhead only (No underground cable laid) still I am getting signals in power mode? Why?
