The Leica Digicat 500i and 550i locate buried conductive services by receiving electromagnetic signals which radiate from them. The Digicat’s software interprets the signals and provides the operator with an audible and visual response to the position and direction of  the buried services.

Buried service location has never been so easy…

Digicat 500i locator With its automatic controls and combined detection mode “Auto Mode” the Digicat 500i locator has been specifically designed to reduce human error during the location process. Combined with its precise and reliable service positioning, the Digicat 500i will prevent damage to underground services during excavation projects. Active signal tracing is available when using the Digitex 100t signal generator. Available for 50 Hz or 60 Hz to suit your regions mains power frequency.

Digicat 550i locator Contains the same functionality as the Digicat 500i, however it offers the added benefit of service depth estimation, when used in conjunction with the Digitex 100t signal generator or Sonde in 8/33 kHz mode. Available for 50 Hz or 60 Hz to suit your regions mains power frequency.

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.
