C.Scope SGA & SGV Signal Generator | Precision Utility Tracer | High-Frequency 33kHz Signal Generation

The C.Scope SGA and SGV Signal Generators are essential components for utility professionals, providing a robust 33kHz output for tracing metal pipes and cables. When used in conjunction with a Cable Avoidance Tool, these refurbished units enable the precise location of underground services, with specific applications available for non-metallic utilities when using the correct accessories.

What is the primary difference between the C.Scope SGA and SGV models?

The C.Scope SGV Signal Generator features a digital display that provides real-time information regarding battery health and the quality of the connection achieved. The SGA model provides the same 33kHz signal output but lacks the visual display interface for connection metrics.

How does the 33kHz signal assist in utility location?

The generator applies a 33kHz frequency to conductive utilities, which allows a Cable Avoidance Tool to detect the specific electromagnetic field emitted. This method is highly effective for tracing buried metal pipes and electrical cables that are otherwise non-detectable in Power or Radio modes.

Can these signal generators be used for non-metallic pipe tracing?

While primarily designed for metal, these generators can trace plastic pipes when paired with specialized equipment. By using a Plastic Pipe Tracer or a sonde, the 33kHz signal can be localized within non-conductive environments.

• Utilise the C.Scope Cable Avoidance Tool for detection in Generator mode.
• Enable non-metallic utility detection with the C.Scope Plastic Pipe Tracer.
• Improve signal induction with a C.Scope Signal Clamp.
• Detect deep utility paths using a C.Scope Sonde.
