The C.Scope MXL4-DBG Precision Locator marks a transformational advancement in the realm of utility detection, setting a new standard for accuracy and adaptability. Complementing the MXT4 Transmitter, the MXL4-DBG brings data logging, Bluetooth™ connectivity, and GPS features into one compact and efficient unit. This synthesis of features represents the epitome of high-end precision performance in the detection and tracing of pipes and cables.

Enhanced Performance & Multi-Frequency Compatibility

Unparalleled Performance

The MXL4-DBG stands out for its ability to quickly and accurately detect, trace, pinpoint, and identify a vast range of underground utilities. With optimized locator sensitivity and noise rejection, it excels in handling high levels of background interference, allowing for the detection of even the weakest signals.

Multi-Frequency Innovation

The MXL4-DBG and its counterpart, the MXT4 Transmitter, bring an impressive range of transmitting frequencies to the table. These facilitate long-distance tracing and utility identification, even on congested sites, with frequencies ranging from 512/640Hz to 131kHz.

Depth & Signal Measurement: Beyond Surface-Level Detection

One-Click Depth Measurement

When paired with the MXT4 Transmitter, the MXL4-DBG can measure and indicate the depth of buried utilities at the push of a button, thereby reducing errors and enhancing survey quality.

Signal Current Measurement

The device can monitor the true strength of the MXT4 Transmitter signal applied to any underground utility, regardless of its depth. This feature is pivotal for deciphering the layout of complex utility networks.

Intelligent Features: Smart Locating in Real Time

AlarmZone™

This unique feature alerts operators to particularly shallow pipes or cables, with adjustable trigger depths to accommodate varying local conditions.

Dynamic SwingSensor

This feature mitigates the risk of inaccurate locates by alerting operators if the locator is being swung excessively during operation.

PeakHold

Designed for precision, PeakHold empowers operators to pinpoint the exact location of buried utilities with unprecedented confidence.

Data Analysis with C.Scope Toolkit & Relay App

These free-to-download software tools convert stored logs into charts and graphs, facilitating training and operational improvements.

Built-in GPS & Third-Party Compatibility

GPS Functionality

The MXL4-DBG’s built-in GPS functionality allows for the precise geographical mapping of all activities, which can be viewed on platforms like Google Earth™ or Google Maps™.

Compatibility with Third-Party GPS

In addition, the MXL4-DBG can be paired with third-party GPS survey equipment via Bluetooth™, streamlining underground utility surveys in one efficient pass.

Calibration and Daily Self Tests: Quality Assurance Guaranteed

No Periodic Recalibration

The device undergoes an Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST), making periodic recalibration unnecessary.

Product Validation Certification

With the C.Scope PC Toolkit, you can generate a Product Validation Certificate based on the ADST results. Authorized service centers also offer third-party certifications to meet diverse client needs.

Additional Features for Robust Usability
