The C.Scope SGA3 is a budget-friendly yet highly effective Signal Generator, specifically engineered to operate alongside the CXL3 or DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool. The integration of the SGA3 into your utility detection procedures not only optimizes the performance of your Cable Avoidance Tools but also extends the range of detectable buried utilities, notably including street lighting cables.

Why SGA3 is Crucial for Your Utility Detection Operations

Two Signal Application Techniques: Unlocking SGA3’s Potential

The SGA3 operates on a 33kHz frequency, offering two distinct ways of energizing a buried metal pipe or cable:

Direct Connection: This technique involves attaching the SGA3 directly to the target utility, allowing for focused, accurate detection.
Induction: A less invasive approach, induction is achieved from above ground, eliminating the need for a direct connection.

Pulsed/Continuous Signal Output: SGA3’s Flexibility

In areas with high signal interference, the SGA3 allows operators to switch easily between a Pulsed or Continuous signal output. An audible signal output is also included, serving as a functional alert when the device is in operation.

Built-In Audio Mute Control in SGA3

Further adding to its user-friendly design, the SGA3 comes with an in-built audio mute control, offering operators a quiet operation when needed.

Building to Last: The Durable Construction of SGA3

Robust Twin Wall Construction and IP65 Standard Protection

The durability of the SGA3 is ensured by its robust twin-wall construction, providing IP65 standard protection against both water and dust ingress. This rugged design ensures that the SGA3 is an investment built to last.

A Thoughtful Accessory Tray in SGA3

The device features a large, detachable accessory tray that can house not only the standard accessories such as Direct Connection Leads and Earth Stakes, but also accommodates optional extras like Signal Clamps and Sondes.

Assurance and Warranty

Three-Year Warranty: The SGA3’s Commitment to Quality

To underscore its reliability and effectiveness, the SGA3 comes with a three-year warranty (conditions apply), offering customers peace of mind about their investment.
