C.SCOPE CXL & DXL
Cable Avoidance Tools
The new C.Scope CXL & DXL Cable Avoidance Tools are high performance Locators developed using the latest in advanced digital signal processing technology. It is the most modern design of Locator available and will determine the exact position of buried pipes and cables immediately prior to any form of excavation work taking place, day or night.
Building on the key features of our classic Cable Avoidance Tool, the CXL and DXL have added an extra detecting mode plus greater sensitivity and improved signal interference rejection to create a Locator that will provide valuable information about the position of buried pipes and cables more quickly than previously possible.
When combined with a C.Scope SGA or SGV Signal Generator and accessories, the CXL/ DXL Cable Avoidance Tools become a versatile, all round pipe and cable locating and tracing package.
Robustly made and equipped with LCD meter with automatic backlight, detachable loudspeaker and easy-to-operate fingertip controls, the C.Scope CXL or DXL Cable Avoidance Tools are the ideal choice for those needing to detect buried services quickly and with confidence.
Both the CXL and DXL Locators are available with Bluetooth connectivity to enable communication with mapping and data logging systems.
The C.Scope DXL Cable Avoidance Tool is the depth measuring versionof our classic, industry standard Cable Avoidance Tool and is the ideal Locator to use to determine the exact location AND DEPTH of buried pipes and cables.
The C.Scope CXL and DXL Cable Avoidance Tools have FOUR detecting modes, each with their own unique advantages:
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 CXL/ DXL alone.
The GENERATOR mode is 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.
The UNIQUE 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.
