Description

CSCOPE SGA3 Signal Generator

For use with the CScope CXL and DXL Cable Avaoidance Testers

 

The C.Scope SGA3 is an affordable Signal Generator designed for use alongside a CXL3 or DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool to make the task of cable avoidance far more effective. The C.Scope SGA3 will optimise the performance of the Cable Avoidance Tool enabling operators to locate more buried utilities including street lighting cables.

A C.Scope SGA3 Signal Generator is a vital accompaniment to a C.Scope CXL3 and DXL3 Cable Avoidance Tool and significantly increases the number of buried services that can be detected and reduce the day-to-day risk of cable strikes.

 

SGA3 Signal Generator Comes Supplied With:

  • Direct Connection Leads
  • Earth Stake
  • Auxilliary 10 metre Earth Lead

 

Key Features:

  • High and Low switchable Power Output
  • 33kHz Signal Output
  • Pulsed or Continuous Output Signal
  • Audio Speaker Mute
  • Two Signal Application Techniques: Direct Connection, Induction
  • In-built Accessory Tray
  • Fully weatherproof design to IP65
  • Three year warranty (conditions apply)

 

Two Signal Application Techniques

The 33kHz SGA3 Signal Generator can energise a buried metal pipe or cable either by ‘direct connection’ to the target pipe or cable or the simpler ‘induction’ method from above ground.

 

Pulsed/Continuous Signal Output

A Pulsed or Continuous signal output allows operators to switch to the Pulsed Mode at the push of a button in high interference situations and keep on tracing.

The SGA3 has a clear audible signal output to indicate when it is in operation.

A useful in-built audio mute control is also included.

 

Robust & Durable Construction

The SGA3s twin wall construction is robust and durable. It also provides IP65 standard protection against dust and water ingress.

 

Accessory Tray

The SGA3 Signal Generator has a large detachable accessory tray as its base. It can house not only the standard accessories (Direct Connection Leads, Earth Stake, Connection Magnets, 10m Auxiliary Earth Lead) and the Instruction Manual but also many of the optional extras such as Signal Clamps, Sondes and Signal Injectors.

Three Year Warranty

The SGA3 comes with a three year Warranty (conditions apply).
