Explore the world of advanced utility detection with the SGA4 Signal Generator. Specially designed for compatibility with the CXL4 or DXL4 Cable Avoidance Tools, the SGA4 expands your ability to detect a broader range of underground utilities, including challenging ones like street lighting cables.

Boosted Detection Capabilities: Unveil the Power of SGA4

Dual-Frequency Signal Output

The SGA4 boasts a simultaneous dual-frequency signal output of 33kHz and 131kHz. This enhances your ability to detect multiple buried utilities without direct connection. Whether you're using a Signal Clamp or inducing the signal from ground level, SGA4 offers remarkable accuracy.

Using a Signal Generator

Versatile Signal Application Techniques with SGA4

SGA4 presents you with three different approaches for applying a Signal Generator signal:

Direct Connection: For focused and precise detection, allowing depth measurement and specific tracing of individual pipes or cables.
Wraparound: If Direct Connection is impractical, this technique can energize street or car park lighting cables effectively.
Induction: When dealing with previously unknown or undetectable metal underground utilities, induction comes in handy.

Innovative Features in SGA4

High-Power Signal for Deeper Detection

SGA4 offers a fully adjustable One Watt Power Output. This feature ensures that less conductive and deeper utilities can be effectively traced over longer distances.

Pulsed and Continuous Signal Output

With the SGA4, you have the option to switch between Pulsed and Continuous signal outputs, providing flexibility in high-interference situations. An audible signal output is included to notify operators when the device is active.

Audio Mute Control

An in-built audio mute control adds an extra layer of convenience during operation.
