Utility Locator C.Scope DXL4 D

C.Scope DXL4 D is a new ultra-modern and high-performance utility locator. The entire XL series has been designed to set a new standard in the industry. The locator combines all of the technologies C.Scope used to date, but introduces a whole new range. In addition, the locator is literally packed with new features that allow the operator to find more, faster and without error.
The DXL4 D locator is equipped with a powerful signal processor. Advanced software helps the instrument to use its power for perfect detection even in areas where it used to be a problem (cores of historic settlements, etc.). The addition of the new simultaneous use of 33 kHz and 131 kHz frequencies helps to greatly improve detection in telecommunications areas such as sheathed fiber optic wires, etc. Unlike the lower model, the CXL3 allows the measurement of the depth of network embedment.

Features

- Power mode - for finding live conductors

FOUR DETECTION MODES

The DXL4 D has four detection modes, which you choose depending on what and where you want to search. Each mode has its own specific uses and benefits:

POWER mode: it is designed to search for live electrical wires. This mode works based on the mains frequency.
RADIO mode: detects all networks using a very accurate passive coil inside the locator. Electromagnetic radiation is induced on all metallic utility networks. As a result, you are able to locate all such networks up to a depth of 2 meters very accurately.
GENERATOR mode: is used to detect 33 kHz and 131 kHz signals fed to the network to be searched using the SGA4 or SGV4 generator. The combination of high frequency with 33 kHz signal allows excellent detection even of very small diameter conductors. The Generator mode is also used when working with C.Scope probes when delineating non-metallic pipelines.
ALLSCAN mode: detects all frequencies and all signal types. Use this mode to detect unusual signals that may appear in the frequency gaps between conventionalPower, Radio and Generator modes and is used primarily for final inspection prior to excavation.

Human error often contributes to the fact that a utility may not have been correctly identified. The new DXL4 D locator tries to eliminate all of these possibilities where an operator can make a mistake. The Dynamic swing sensor and daily automatic test feature are used to reduce the possibility of error. The data logging capability can also provide invaluable feedback into your employees' workflows. You'll be able to easily identify their professional shortcomings and address them, perhaps with follow-up additional training.

Depth measurement: when using the SGA4 or SGV4 generator, the locator makes it easy to measure the depths of utility deposits at the touch of a button.

Dynamic Motion Sensor: A warning tone will sound if the operator appears to be "swaying" the locator too much while working. This will assist you in keeping the correct locating technique constant.

Automatic Daily Test ( ADST ): The DXL 4 D has comprehensive self-test circuits. ADST will test the locator every day when it is first turned on, including the receiving antennas. This test can be stored and the operator with the locator is always assured that his instrument is in perfect order and in optimal condition for use.

DATA: The locator can collect data. It will record daily how the locator has been used. The bus is designed to handle 12 months of operation before the data is overwritten. The data can be stored before overwriting by USB connection. The data socket is located in the battery compartment.

DATA LOG TRANSFER via Bluetooth™. C.Scope It offers a free downloadable RELAY App that uses Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity for data logs for smartphones and tablets. These can then be emailed to your PC for analysis. This provides a very convenient way to instantly transfer data from the locator.

GPS MAPPING via Bluetooth™: with the DXL 4 D and optional Bluetooth™ installation, you can accurately record your work on Google maps, including recording measured depth etc.

DATA LOG ANALYSIS: C.Scope offers a free downloadable XL2 Edition PC Toolkit that allows you to manipulate stored data logs and export them into tables and graphs that illustrate all aspects of use.

LCD: The DXL4 D has a large, bright and easy to read backlit LCD display mounted behind a protective polycarbonate lens. The display shows the detection mode, peak signal level, signal strength and battery status

Detachable Speaker. The speaker can be attached to the head using a coiled wire.

Rugged and durable construction: the DXL4 D is robust yet very lightweight. It uses a double wall construction. The locator also meets IP 65 against dust and water ingress.

Calibration.

SERVICE: C.Scope provides complete service throughout the EU. Service for the Czech and Slovak Republics is provided by Marek Mlejnský, a company that manufactures, services and sells metal detectors.

WARRANTY: The DXL4 D comes with a three-year warranty.
