The C.Scope MXT4 Transmitter stands as a groundbreaking tool engineered for use in tandem with the MXL4 Locator. This formidable combination offers users a dynamic and adaptable methodology for accurately detecting, tracing, and identifying an expansive variety of pipes and cables beneath the earth's surface.
Comprehensive Feature Set: Multi-Frequency and More
Multi-Frequency Capabilities: Bridging Gaps in Utility Detection
The MXT4 Transmitter presents a remarkable range of transmitting frequencies, all designed to improve the long-distance tracing and identification of buried utilities. With frequencies ranging from 512/640Hz up to 131kHz, and even including a simultaneous dual-frequency output of 33kHz and 131kHz, the MXT4 is instrumental in maximizing the number of detectable underground services.
Using a Signal Generator
Three Signal Application Techniques: Versatility at Its Best
The MXT4 comes equipped with three different signal application methods:
Direct Connection: Tailored for specific pipes or cables, allowing for their individual tracing, identification, and depth measurement.
Wraparound Technique: Ideal for instances where Direct Connection is impractical, such as energizing street or car park lighting cables.
Induction: For inducing a signal onto previously unknown, undetected, or unreachable underground metal pipes or cables.
High Power Signal: Reach Deeper, Trace Farther
The MXT4's one-watt power output can be adjusted, enabling the energization and tracing of less conductive and deeper pipes and cables over extensive distances.
Pulsed/Continuous Signal Output: Adaptability in Challenging Environments
Operators can toggle between Pulsed and Continuous modes at the push of a button, particularly useful in areas of high signal interference.

Data Logging and Calibration: Where Technology Meets Accountability
Comprehensive Data Logging
The MXT4 complements the MXL4 Locator's data logging capabilities, allowing for a year's worth of data storage. Data can be conveniently exported to a PC via a USB cable for detailed analysis.
Self-Calibration with Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST)
With a fully Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST), the MXT4 assures operators of its optimal performance, negating the need for periodic recalibration.
Additional User-Friendly Features
High-Resolution Backlit Display
The MXT4 features a large, high-resolution backlit LCD screen, protected by a polycarbonate lens. This provides operators with real-time information, including the Automatic Daily Self Test results.
Robust Construction
Built to last, the MXT4 boasts a durable twin-wall construction, affording it IP65 standard protection against dust and water ingress.
Accessory Tray: A Thoughtful Addition
An expansive, detachable accessory tray accommodates a wide range of standard and optional accessories, from Direct Connection Leads to Sondes and Signal Injectors.
Assurance and Quality: The MXT4 Warranty
A three-year warranty underlines C.Scope's confidence in the MXT4 Transmitter, giving users added peace of mind.
Conclusion: The MXT4 Transmitter as an Industry Standard
The C.Scope MXT4 Transmitter doesn't merely meet industry standards; it sets them. With its comprehensive feature set, including multi-frequency capabilities, versatile signal application methods, and robust construction, the MXT4 is an essential addition to any serious utility detection setup. When used in conjunction with the MXL4 Locator, the MXT4 offers a state-of-the-art solution for locating an extensive range of underground utilities, thereby significantly reducing the risks associated with inadvertent utility strikes.
