With DIGISYSTEM, operators can locate, track and mark underground services precisely and reliably prior to excavation. Every year, site workers are injured due to inadvertently striking buried electricity cables or gas pipelines. The DIGISYSTEM increases your onsite safety and saves effort and money.
Why locate ?
Brownfield sites have many and varied installed services and utilities under the ground.
Obtaining accurate information about the location of these is a necessity before starting any sitework or excavation. It is the full responsibility of every company or person to verify the drawings from the utilities and avoid damaging existing services. It makes perfect sense to search, trace and mark the line of all services before digging as damage of services can cause extreme personal injury and have financial consequences.
If you are not fully aware of your local legislation, and are not using a location system today, look what it could cost you:
• Repair of damaged underground service (cables, pipes, valves, connectors, ducting, …)
• Cost for disruption of damaged services (electricity, telecom services, water, gas, …)
• Insurance claims for serious or fatal injuries
• Consequential loss claims
• Defending a claim for negligence
• Downtime on your site
Uses of DIGICAT
The DIGICAT can be used to fi nd live (energised) power cables,
trace buried metal services which reradiate signals, and with the
DIGITEX 8/33 signal generator via specific tracing frequencies, trace
“unenergised” services. The DIGITRACE service tracer allows tracing
of plastic ducts, clay drains and non-metallic conduits.
Digicat 100:
-
Always starts in power mode at maximum sensitivity ensuring safest operating conditions.
-
8 and 33 kHz tracing modes – maximum flexibility.
-
Compact and lightweight.
-
Highly visible digital LED display for swift service location.
Three selectable operating modes:
• Power mode - Locates power signals radiated by energised cables 50/60 Hz.
• Radio mode - Traces signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These radio signals penetrate the ground and are reradiated by buried metallic cables and pipes 15-30 Hz.
• Generator mode (8 and 33kHz) - Locates a distinctive signal applied by the DIGITEX 8/33 dual frequency signal generator to a metallic underground conductor. Not necessary to physically connect to the service.

FAQ - Locators
Technology
Our products work by virtue of a sensor in the locator (DIGICAT) detecting the electromagnetic signal due to electrical current passing through a conductive buried service. Where there is no current then the service is not detected unless this is overcome by using a transmitter (DIGITEX) to superimpose a current maybe also using other system accessories
