C.Scope CXL3 - Utility detector, utility locator and cable detector

C.Scope The CXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool is a robust and affordable utility locator that has become the industry standard for detecting cables and pipes before excavation work begins.

Protection from damage to hidden utilities

Accidental damage to underground lines can have serious financial and safety consequences. The C.Scope CXL3 cable detector is the ideal choice for locating underground lines quickly and reliably , repeatedly and without complex setup.

Safe, simple, fast and reliable

The C.Scope CXL3 cable detector offers three standard detection modes(POWER, RADIO and GENERATOR), each with its own specific advantages:

• POWER mode - The fastest way to detect most electrical cables by capturing the signal generated by the electrical current.
• RADIO mode - Identifies radio signals that naturally propagate through underground metal cables and pipes, allowing for easy detection.
• GENERATOR mode - Uses the signal from the C.Scope SGA3 generator to accurately track metal cables and pipes. This mode can also be used to trace non-metallic pipelines using the C.Scope Sonde transmitter.

A complete solution for underground utility detection

Combined with the C.Scope SGA3 signal generator and other accessories, the Utility Locator C.Scope CXL3 becomes a versatile tool for detecting and tracing cables and pipes. It is ruggedly constructed, featuring an LCD display, detachable speaker and intuitive controls.
