C Scope CXL4 Cable Avoidance Tool

The C Scope CXL4 Cable Avoidance Tools from C Scope represent a significant advance in cable detecting performance.

Innovative new features have been introduced and the popular existing modes of detection have been enhanced to allow the C.Scope CXL4 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.

Improved performance across all four detection modes:

The C.Scope CXL4 Cable Avoidance Tool has improved performance across all modes of detection; Power, Radio, Generator and AllScan, whilst remaining easy to operate ensuring there is only a minimal need for training or retraining.

Simultaneuous Dual-Frequency:

The simultaneous dual-frequency 33kHz and 131kHz signal output of the Signal Generators is ideal for maximising the number of buried services that can be energised and then detected, providing a significant improvement in the detection of the smaller diameter or poorly earthed cables.

Overload Protection:

Optimised Locator Sensitivity and Noise Rejection means that the C.Scope CXL4 can deal with the highest levels of background interference found, allowing even the weakest of signals to be detected successfully.

Intelligent New Features:

ALARM ZONE

AlarmZone™ alerts operators to the presence of particularly shallow pipes or cables with the exact trigger depth adjustable by the user to best suit local requirements.

• DYNAMIC SWING SENSOR - The Dynamic SwingSensor which gently alerts the operator if the locator is being swung excessively, potentially compromising the accuracy of any locates.
• PEAKHOLD - PeakHold allows operators to quickly and confidently pinpoint the exact position of buried services
• CALIBRATION - The C.Scope CXL4 Cable Avoidance Tools do not require periodic recalibration. A fully Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST) tests and confirms that they are functioning at their optimum level each day.
• AUTOMATIC DAILY SELF TEST (ADST) - The C.Scope CXL4 Cable Avoidance Tools perform an Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST). The ADST checks the functionality of the locator including the receiving aerials each day when it is first switched on. The C.Scope SGV4 Signal Generator also performs a comprehensive Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST).

At the start of each day of use, a positive Automatic Daily Self Test result gives confirmation to the operator that the kit is working at the optimum level.

The result of this test is recorded and stored on memory within the products in-built data files and can be downloaded onto a PC at any time within the following 12 months*.

PRODUCT VALIDATION CERTIFICATION - These test results can be used to produce a Product Validation Certificate using the C.Scope PC Toolkit. In addition, any results of the Self Test that have been carried out in the last twelve months* are available. The PC Toolkit can also be used to view and print a copy of the original factory Calibration Certificate.

C.Scope authorised Service Centres are also able to provide third-party Test and Calibration Certification should you require it to comply with client or internal requirements.

HIGH RESOLUTION BACKLIT DIGITAL DISPLAY - The C.Scope CXL4 has a large, clear and easy to read backlit LCD mounted behind a protective polycarbonate lens. The display indicates detection mode, signal peak level, depth, signal strength and battery condition. It also displays the Automatic Daily Self Test results.

DETACHABLE SPEAKER - The speaker can be easily detached for use in noisy work environments.

ROBUST AND DURABLE CONSTRUCTION - The C.Scope CXL4s twin wall construction is robust and durable. It also provides IP65 standard protection against dust and water ingress.

SERVICE - A complete covers off service & maintenance package is available for those customers who require it from C.Scope Authorised Service Centres.

THREE YEAR WARRANTY - The C.Scope CXL4 comes with a three year Warranty (conditions apply).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES (ON UPGRADES)

DATA LOGGING (Not on Standard CXL)

The C.Scope CXL4-D and CXL4-DBG Cable Avoidance Tools have full data logging capability. A years worth of data can be stored, in normal usage, on both the Cable Avoidance Tool and the C.Scope SGV4 Signal Generator.

DATA LOG TRANSFER via USB

This can be conveniently transferred at any time to supervisors for analysis via a USB cable to a PC (or wirelessly via Bluetooth™ from the DBG model only to a PC, tablet or smartphone).

GPS (Not on Standard or Data Logging only CXL)

The C.Scope CXL4-DBG with in-built GPS allows a record to be kept of exactly where the Locators have been used that can then be viewed in partnership with Google Earth™ or Google Maps™.

Twelve months of GPS data is stored, in normal usage. This can be conveniently transferred at any time via a USB cable to a PC or wirelessly via Bluetooth™ to a PC, tablet or smartphone to supervisors for analysis. The free-to-download C.Scope PC Toolkit and Relay smartphone App analyses the stored data.

Additionally, the Locators can be paired to third party GPS Survey equipment, via the Locators in-built Bluetooth™ facilitating ‘one pass’ underground utility surveys to be undertaken.
