Every year site workers are injured due to inadvertently striking buried utilities such as
electricity cables or gas pipelines. Obtaining accurate information about the location of buried
utilities has never been more essential to protect employees and equipment during any
excavation project.
The i-Series locators are the latest innovation from Leica Geosystems specifically designed to
reduce human error and to increase site safety with its wealth of intelligent and unique
features.
Features
Automatic controls making the product easy to use, requiring minimal user experience -
perfect for the hire market.
Starts in Power Mode - detecting current carrying services first for maximum user safety.
Highly visible digital LCD display with built-in light sensor, automatically enabling the
backlight in dark conditions.
Robust, light weight design, specifically engineered for tough site conditions.
In-built user activated self test function, allowing users to quickly test the full functionality of the DIGICAT prior to use.
Depth indication
The DIGICAT 550i features utility depth indication, when used in conjunction with the
DIGITEX 8/33 signal generator in 33 kHz mode. With a single press of the button operators
can determine the depth of the buried utility, providing a clear advantage when conditioning
ground surveys.
