Depth & Signal Measurement: A New Standard
Instant Depth Indication
In collaboration with the MXT4 Transmitter, the MXL4-D not only locates but also measures the depth of buried utilities at the simple push of a button, setting a new standard in utility detection.
Signal Strength Monitoring
The MXL4-D can also gauge the true strength of the MXT4 Transmitter signal when applied to a buried utility, irrespective of its depth. This is invaluable for understanding the configuration of an intricate utility network.
Smart Features: Real-Time Intelligence
AlarmZone™
The AlarmZone™ feature alerts the operator to the presence of unusually shallow pipes or cables. This trigger depth is adjustable, allowing the operator to customize it based on local conditions.
Dynamic SwingSensor
This feature gently alerts operators if the locator is being moved too erratically, potentially affecting the accuracy of the readings.
PeakHold Functionality
PeakHold allows operators to precisely and confidently identify the exact position of any buried utility, thereby improving job accuracy.
Comprehensive Data Logging and Analytics
Full Data Logging Capabilities
The MXL4-D comes equipped with extensive data logging functionalities, capable of storing a year’s worth of operational data for future reference and analysis.
In-Depth Data Analysis
Using the free-to-download C.Scope PC Toolkit, operators can convert this stored data into meaningful charts and graphs. This facilitates training needs and operational improvements to be rapidly identified.
Calibration and Automatic Daily Self Tests: Assured Accuracy
Self-Calibration
What sets the MXL4-D apart is its lack of a requirement for periodic recalibration. The device carries out an Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST), assuring that it is functioning at optimal levels.
Certification and Validation
The results of these self-tests can be used to generate a Product Validation Certificate via the C.Scope PC Toolkit. This adds another layer of credibility and compliance to the device's operation.
Additional Features: Designed for Field Excellence
High-Resolution Backlit Digital Display
The MXL4-D comes with a highly visible and easy-to-read backlit digital display that provides real-time information on various operational aspects.
Detachable Speaker
The device includes a detachable speaker, a useful addition for noisy work environments, allowing for more flexible operation.
Durable and Resilient
The MXL4-D's robust twin-wall construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of fieldwork, along with providing IP65 standard protection against dust and water.
Service and Warranty
A comprehensive service and maintenance package is available for the MXL4-D, which also comes with a three-year warranty (conditions apply).
