Discover the pinnacle of cable identification with C.Scope’s DXL4-D Cable Avoidance Tools. This groundbreaking instrument showcases complete data logging capabilities, introducing revolutionary features and significantly enhancing cable and pipe locating practices. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the extensive range of features and functionalities of the DXL4-D, an industry-leading tool in cable detection technology.
Experience Unmatched Efficiency
DXL4-D: Optimized Across All Detection Modes
The DXL4-D Cable Avoidance Tool sets the bar high by improving performance in all four major detection methods—Power, Radio, Generator, and AllScan. This balance between cutting-edge technology and user-friendly operation reduces the need for exhaustive training, offering the ultimate experience in cable and pipe detection.
Accurate Depth Measurement with DXL4-D
Intuitive Depth Calculation Mechanism
When used alongside a SGA4 or SGV4 Signal Generator, the DXL4-D not only detects but also precisely measures the depth of underground pipes, cables, and sondes at the push of a button, effectively removing guesswork from your locating tasks.
Dual-Frequency Output for Enhanced Detection
Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Signal Transmission
The DXL4-D is designed with simultaneous dual-frequency signal output, utilizing 33kHz and 131kHz frequencies. This expands the range of detectable underground services, making it particularly effective for locating smaller diameter or poorly earthed cables.
Using a DXL4 In Radio Mode
Advanced Overload Protection
Robust Noise Rejection and Sensitivity Tuning
The DXL4-D features optimized locator sensitivity and noise rejection capabilities, making it possible to detect even the weakest signals amid high levels of background interference.
Intelligent Features that Set It Apart
AlarmZone™ and Dynamic SwingSensor
Incorporated into the DXL4-D are smart features like AlarmZone™, which alerts operators to shallow pipes or cables. Moreover, the Dynamic SwingSensor prompts the operator if the locator is swung too vigorously, thus ensuring accurate results.
Unbeatable Data Logging and Transfer Capabilities
Comprehensive Data Management
The DXL4-D has full data logging capability, storing up to a year’s worth of data under normal usage conditions. This data can be conveniently transferred to a computer via a USB cable for further analysis by supervisors.
Data Analysis with C.Scope Software
C.Scope PC Toolkit and Relay Smartphone App
The DXL4-D is compatible with the C.Scope PC Toolkit and Relay smartphone app, both of which are free to download. These platforms turn the stored data into insightful charts and graphs, aiding in training and operational improvements.
Inbuilt GPS for Enhanced Usability
Accurate Geolocation Features
The DXL4-D comes with an inbuilt GPS, allowing for a detailed record of the locator's use to be stored and viewed on platforms such as Google Earth™ or Google Maps™.
Self-Calibration and Testing
Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST)
The DXL4-D features an Automatic Daily Self Test (ADST), ensuring that it is functioning at its optimal level, thereby giving operators added peace of mind.
Robust, User-Friendly Design
High-Resolution Display and Detachable Speaker
The DXL4-D is built with a high-resolution, backlit digital display and a detachable speaker, enhancing its usability in various environmental conditions.
Exceptional Service and Warranty
Comprehensive Support
C.Scope offers a complete service and maintenance package for DXL4-D users, along with a generous three-year warranty.
Embrace the future of cable detection with the DXL4-D Cable Avoidance Tool. Its wide range of features and uncompromising performance make it a must-have for any serious professional in the field.
