The DXL4-D Cable Avoidance Tools from C.Scope represent a significant advance in cable detecting performance. The DXL4-D has full data logging capability and the modes of detection have been enhanced to allow the DXL4-D Cable Avoidance Tool to successfully detect even the hardest to find pipes and cables. Particular attention has been paid to effect better working practices and to minimise the potential for human error to impact on operating performance.

The C.Scope DXL4 Cable Avoidance Tool has four detecting modes, each with their own unique advantages.

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

RADIO Mode: Detects re-radiated "radio" type signals that are often present on metal pipes and cables allowing their position to be determined using the DXL alone.

GENERATOR Mode: Used to detect the signal applied to a metal pipe or cable by a C.Scope SGA or SGV 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. In both instances the depth of the pipe or cable or Sonde can be displayed at the press of a button.

ALLSCAN Mode: Detects ALL frequencies of signal from the lowest of the Power signals right up to and including 33kHz. This great all-in-one mode can detect unusual frequency signals often overlooked in the conventional Power, Radio and Generator modes and can often speed up the locating process with just one sweep of the site.

DEPTH INDICATION: Note the DXL4-D does not give depth readings without the use of a SGA4 Signal Generator or 33kHz Sonde transmitter. The cable depth is typically within ±10% of the indicated depth displayed on this DXL4-D.  The DXL4-D will typically detect conductors to the following depths:

Power Mode - 3 metres
Radio Mode - 2 metres 
Generator Mode - 3 metres 

Please note that site conditions such as soil, moisture and temperature can affect these depth performance levels.
