The CXL3 is a robust and affordable analogue industry standard ‘pick-up-and-go’ Cable Avoidance Tool used to detect pipes and cables prior to excavations. Designed for use with an SGA3 Signal Generator. The C.Scope CXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool is a robust and affordable industry standard locator used to detect buried pipes and cables prior to excavation. 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 RELIABLEThe 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.
