Building on the success of previous models, the new Leica Digicat 600i and 650i with their unique data capture and onboard memory function supports operations management initiatives to increase on site safety by detecting cables and identify operator training needs.
The Leica Digicat 600i and 650i make locating underground cables and pipes a simple and efficient task, increasing the operator’s productivity and their profitability. The Digicat 650i offers the user all the features and functionally as the Digicat 600i with the added benefit of service depth indication. When using the Digicat in conjunction with the Digitex 100t or Sonde in 8 or 33 kHz modes, operators can determine the depth of the buried utility, providing a clear advantage when conducting ground surveys.
Both the Digicat 600i and 650i locators have the added benefit of Bluetooth wireless connectivity. It allows the Digicat to integrate seamlessly with mobile mapping technology to log survey data, in addition to enabling wireless Bluetooth data transfer.
With the unique Logicat software, calculation records can be retrieved and collated helping to increase onsite safety, whilst identifying training needs.
Logicat software retrieves the following information from the locator:
-
Time & date information
-
Usage duration
-
User identification
-
Detection mode used
-
Service detection
-
Product fleet management
-
Diagnostic check
-
Management reports
Andrew Allen, Leica Digicat Product Manager at Leica Geosystems Ltd, sees the products as an important step in increasing the safety during excavation projects: “We are extremely excited about the Leica Digicat 600i and 650i launch, for the first time ever, operators and management have an insight into how their locators are being used. Safety equipment can amount to a large expense for companies and if these products are not used or maintained correctly, then safety is compromised. Used with the Logicat software, management has the ability to recognize poor usage, pinpoint the exact user and provide training to ensure maximum efficiency.
Not only do the new products offer these unique capabilities, all of the models represent the latest design in cable technology, with state-of- the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and intelligent software, the i-Series locators continue to make light work of ground surveys.
The latest Digicat 600i and 650i provide data-logging capabilities and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless data transfer. Leica Digicat 600i and 650i locate buried conductive services by receiving electromagnetic signals which radiate from them. The newly developed Logicat software interprets the signals and provides the operator with an audible and visual response to the position and direction of the buried services.
Digicat 600i locator
Provides a unique data capture and on board memory function, allowing verification of the locators use and the ability to recall records following a near miss, service strike or similar incident. The Leica Digicat 600i locates buried conductive services by receiving electromagnetic signals which radiate from them. The Digicat's intelligent software interprets the signal data and provides the operator with an audible response to the location and direction of buried utilities. The operator can mark the ground or use a GIS mapping device to note the location. With the unique Logicat Software, records can be retrieved and collated helping to increase on site safety, whilst identifying training needs.
Digicat 650i locator
Contains the same functionality as the Leica Digicat 600i, however it offers the added benefits of data logging, Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity and service depth indication, when used in conjunction with the Leica Digitex 100t signal generator or Sonde in 8/33 kHz mode. With the unique Logicat Software, records can be retrieved and collated helping to increase on site safety, whilst identifying training needs.
Leica Digitex 100t Signal Transmitter
Designed in conjunction with the Digicat locator, to easily and accurately trace the route of, or locate, an underground cable or metal pipe that does not carry a naturally present signal. The Digitex 100t generates a specific "active" signal, which can then be traced using the Digicat. It allows users to trace services over a greater distance, improve service detection in areas of high signal interference and improves depth estimation when using a depth locator.
