Cable Detection EZiSYSTEM range of cable avoidance tools (CAT) are becoming the preferred cable avoidance system with most civil engineering contractors. But why purchase the Cable Detection EZiCAT?
Most cable avoidance tools operate through an analogue system which requires complicate electronics and numerous switches to be set correctly to detect buried services.
Cable Detection uses state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology (DSP), removing switches, designed to be user friendly and more importantly, provides the maximum protection to the operator.
Better Operation
When detecting buried cables with standard cable avoidance locators, the instruments will only detect the specific search mode (Power, Radio or Genny modes) engaged by the operator.
That is to say, the operator will need to turn a switch to engage the search mode and rotate the Sensitivity Control for maximum sensitivity. In some cases, the operator will forget to setup the CAT correctly or the switches are damaged.
With the Cable Detection EZiCAT system, the instrument automatically starts in Power mode and with maximum sensitivity. This avoids human error and with the self test function, the cable locator can be tested in the field before use.
More Standard Features
Cable Detection have incorporated a range of advanced features into their new i-series cable avoidance tools. All instruments in their range will be equipped with the following.
Auto Mode
Automatically locates power or radio signals, helping to confirm the presence of services in one search.
Hazard Zone
The latest generation of cable avoidance tools from Cable Detection incorporate the ‘Hazard Zone’ feature which warns the operator of shallow power cables close to the surface.
Pinpoint Assist
Pinpoint assist is a useful addition to the new range of cable avoidance tools from Cable Detection. When searching for services, the highest peak reading will be maintained for a period of time allowing the operator to quickly and accurately pinpoint the service position.
Built-In Self Test
The Cable Detection EZiCAT system allows the operator to self test the functions of the instrument before use. The instrument will perform a hardware and software test, indicating if the instrument is operating correctly or not.
