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. 

The Digisystem range makes locating underground cables and pipes a simple and efficient task, increasing your on-site safety and ultimately saving you time and money.

The Leica DIGICAT 550i cable locators feature advanced Automatic Controls making the DIGICAT easy-to-use, requiring minimal user experience.

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 550i cable locators are engineered for ease-of-use, enabling users to simply press the trigger and start locating.

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 550i 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 Digitex Signal Transmitters 

 

Leica Digitex signal transmitters deliver significantly higher power than previous models. This improved performance will allow users to:

• Trace utilities over a greater distance
• Improve utility detection in areas of high signal interference
• Improve depth estimation when using a depth locator

Direct Connection ×	Direct Connection Connect the Digitex to a conductive utility such as a valve, stop tap or other access point.
Signal Clamp Connection ×	Signal Clamp Connection A signal clamp is used to apply the Digitex signal to a pipe or live electricity cable. Supply is not interrupted by the signal and the operator is not exposed to any live utility.
Induction ×	Induction The Digitex induces a tracing signal into the buried pipe or cable. This is a quick and convenient method when direct connection or signal clamping is not possible.
