USERS/USES
Obtaining accurate information about the location of buried utilities has never been more essential to protect employees and equipment during any excavation project.
Local legislation prescribes the use of a locating device before any kind of excavation takes place. It makes perfect sense to search for, trace and
mark all services before work commences.
With all our EZiCAT locators users can detect buried utilities with ease. The EZiSYSTEMrange has been specifically
designed to reduce human error and to increase site safety with its wealth of intelligent and unique features.
The EZiSYSTEM range makes locating underground cables and pipes a simple and efficienttask, increasing your on-site safety and ultimately saving you time and money.
How does the EZiCAT locate?
The EZiCAT range locate buried
conductive services by receiving
electromagnetic signals which
radiate from them.
The EZiCAT’s intelligent software interprets the signal data and provides the operator with an audible and visual response to the location and direction of buried utilities.
FEATURES
Additional Features
Depth Indication
The EZiCAT i550 features utility depth indication, when used in conjunction with the EZiTEX in 8 or 33 kHz modes.
Operators can determine the depth of the buried utility, providing an advantage when conducting ground surveys.
Benefits
• State-of-the-art digital signal processing technology (DSP).
• Automatic controls – making the EZiCAT easy-to-use, requiring minimal user experience.
• Power Mode start up ensuring the most potentially dangerous current carrying services are detected first.
• Hazard Zone feature indicating shallow buried service in power, 8 and 33 kHz modes, (within approximately 30cm) alerting increased risk.
• Built-in test function for testing hardware and software.
• LCD screen with built-in light sensor, automatically enabling the backlight in dark conditions.
• Robust, lightweight design, specifically engineered for tough site conditions.
• Service Due Indicator supporting planned maintenance schedules or quality systems by displaying a wrench icon after 12 months.
Flexibility
The EZiCAT i-Series locators have multiple modes of operation allowing users to have maximum control at
their fingertips.
Auto Mode
Automatically locates power or radio signals, helping to confirm the presence of services upon initial site occupation making cable detection easier and safer.
Transmitter Modes
(8 & 33 kHz) Locates a specific signal applied by the EZiTEX dual frequency
signal transmitter to a metallic underground conductor.
Radio Mode
Traces signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These signals penetrate theground and are reradiated by buried conductive services.
Power Mode
(Default mode) Locates power signals radiated by energised cables which pose the most significant risk to
excavation teams.
Intelligence
Hazard Zone
Buried utilities close to the surface pose a safety risk to site works. The new Hazard Zone function provides an
additional warning of the close proximity of buried services, alerting users to theimmediate danger.
Pinpoint Assist
Maintains the highest peak reading obtained on the signal strength indicator. The peakhold time can be adjusted between – 5 seconds allowing the operator to quickly
and accurately pinpoint the service position.
Signal Service Indicator
SSI enables the user to trace an individual service amongst a multiple of services. Thenumeric display shows the highest reading over this
service, which has the EZiTEX signal transmitter connected to.
This ensures the user can follow the service without straying to another.
