Cable Detection recently introduced a new digital range of cable avoidance tools (CATs), the i-Series has revolutionised the field of cable avoidance.
Leading the path of this new revolution is the EZiCAT i600 and i650 cable avoidance tools, make locating underground cables and pipes a simple and efficient task, ultimately saving time and money.
Cable Detection recently introduced a range of high specification cable avoidance tools, the new EZiCAT i600 and i650 cable LOCATORS. Both models incorporate data logging and Bluetooth wireless functionality, allowing the instruments to be fully analysed through Cable Detection's unique LOGiCAT SOFTWARE.
On board memory function records the activity of the devices to allow plant mangers to verify the EZiCAT’s usage and provides the ability to recall records following a near miss or service strike or similar incident. The on board memory can then be downloaded via Bluetooth wireless data transfer.
Data logging
The EZiCAT i600 / i650 cable avoidance tools record and store information whilst they are in use. The locators start to record information every second after completion of the initial start-up routine. These records (logs) are stored in the locators memory and can be retrieved and transferred via Bluetooth to a PC for analysis. The locators are capable of storing approximately 80 hours of records.
Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity
Both the EZiCAT i600 and i650 locators have the added benefit of Bluetooth wireless connectivity. It allows the EZiCAT to integrate seamlessly with mobile mapping technology to log survey data, in addition to enabling wireless Bluetooth data transfer.
LOGiCAT Software
Once downloaded, the LOGiCAT software retrieves the following information from the locator:
Time and Date Information
Identifies when and at what time ground surveys were conducted
Usage Duration
Determines how long survey teams searched for buried services and discovers actual product utilisation.
User Identification
Forces users to become accountable for their actions and identifies those who need additional product training.
Detection Mode Used
Allows managers to judge the quality and thoroughness of work. As more comprehensive ground surveys are conducted the locator records the mode of operation including the use of a signal generator.
Service Detection
Discovers quickly if any buried services were detected during surveys and even determines the signal strength shown on the locator.
Product Fleet Management
Displays and monitors the service and calibration dates of your locator fleet, ensuring they are kept in perfect working order and not being used when calibration is due.
Diagnostic Check
Displays locators which have failed the EST (Extended self test) and removes them from the active fleet for immediate repair. This reduces the possibility of defective equipment being used on site.
Management Reports
Produces basic statistical reports from the logged data, allowing users to see how products are utilised and how ground survey teams are using themon-site.
