Designed in conjunction with the DIGICAT locator, to easily and accurately trace the route of, or locate, an underground cable or metal pipe that does not carry a naturally present signal. The DIGITEX generates a specific "active" signal, which can then be traced using the DIGICAT.
Digital generator/ transmitter/inducer of specific 33kHz and 8kHz signal to be detected by DIGICAT - includes batteries, earth spike and connection cable set, user manual.
The Leica DIGITEX 8/33 dual frequency generator is the perfect tracing partner for the Leica DIGICAT 100 service locator providing the same high performance, reliability and ease of use.
The DIGICAT with the DIGITEX 8/33 signal generator give highly accurate results via specific tracing frequencies.
Package Includes:
- Leica DIGITEX 8/33 Signal Generator
- Earth Spike
- Crocodile Connection Cable Set
- Batteries
- Leica DIGITEX 8/33 User Manual
How to apply a tracing signal:
Direct Connection
Connecting the DIGITEX 8/33 to a valve, junction box, domestic power distribution network, or other access point of the conductor is the most effective methodology and is preferable to induction whenever possible.
Use a Signal Clamp
A Signal Clamp is used to apply the DIGITEX 8/33 signal to a pipe or live electricity cable. Supply is not interrupted by the applied signal and the operator is not exposed to any live services.
Induction
The DIGITEX 8/33 induces a tracing signal into the underground pipe or cable. This is a quick and convenient method when direct connection or signal clamping is not possible.
