C.Scope SGA3 Signal Generator | 33kHz Utility Induction & Direct Connection | IP65 Durable Design

The C.Scope SGA3 is a highly effective, technical signal generator specifically designed to work in synergy with the C.Scope CXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool or the C.Scope DXL3 Depth Model Cable Avoidance Tool. Operating at a standard 33kHz frequency, this device is essential for energizing buried metal pipes and cables that do not naturally carry a signal, significantly reducing the risk of accidental cable strikes during excavation.

How does the SGA3 apply signals to buried utilities?

The SGA3 utilizes two distinct application techniques: Direct Connection for focused, high-accuracy detection by attaching directly to the utility, and Induction for non-invasive signal application from above ground. This flexibility allows operators to adapt to various site conditions while maintaining a 33kHz signal output for reliable tracking.

What features assist with high-interference environments?

To overcome signal noise, the SGA3 features switchable Pulsed or Continuous signal outputs, allowing the operator to select the most legible signal for the current environment. Additionally, it includes a switchable High and Low Power Output and an integrated Audio Speaker Mute control for quiet operation when necessary.

How is the SGA3 built for industrial field use?

The unit is housed in a robust twin-wall construction that meets the IP65 standard for full weatherproofing against water and dust ingress. It features a large, detachable accessory tray and is backed by a three-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh site conditions.
