Product Information and Details
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.

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.
