The New EZiCAT i500 represents the latest design in cable location technology.

With state of the art digital signal processing (DSP) and intelligent software, the EZiCAT i‐Series locators make ground surveys a simple and speedy task; increasing onsite safety and ultimately saving time and money.

The EZiCAT i500 locates buried conductive services by receiving electromagnetic signals which radiate from them.

The EZiCAT’s intelligent 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…




Flexibility:

The EZiCAT iSeries 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!
				- Generator Mode
(8 & 33 kHz) Locates a specific signal applied by the EZiTRACE dual frequency signal generator to a metallic underground conductor.
				- Radio Mode
Traces signals originating from distant radio transmitters. These signals penetrate the ground 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.

Benefits

State-of-the-art digital signal processing technology (DSP) for precision service locating.

Automatic controls - making the EZiCAT easy to use, requiring minimal user experience.

Starts in Power Mode - ensuring the most potentially dangerous current carrying services are detected first for maximum operator safety.

Hazard Zone / Strike Alert - the new feature which indicates the presence of a shallow buried service in power, 8 & 33 kHz modes, (within approximately 30cm) alerting users to the increased risk.

In-built test function – allowing operators to test the hardware and software functionality of the EZiCAT before use.

Added benefit of utility depth estimation to 3m for additional survey information (EZiCAT i550 / i650 models only) – Requires signal generator to use this function.

 High contrast 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 customer planned maintenance schedules or quality systems by displaying a wrench icon after 12 months.

Depth Indication
The EZiCAT i550 features utility depth indication, when used in conjunction with the EZiTRACE 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.

Hazard Zone
Buried utilities close to the surface pose a significant safety risk to site works. The new Hazard Zone function provides an additional warning to the close proximity of buried services, alerting users to the immediate danger.

Pinpoint Assist
Maintains the highest peak reading obtained on the signal strength indicator for a period of time, allowing the operatior to quickly and accurately pinpoint the service position.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth Connectivity
Both the EZiCAT i-series locators can be purchased with the added benefit of Bluetooth wireless connectivity. It will allow the EZiCAT to integrate seamlessly with mobile mapping technology to log survey data.

Enhanced Sonde Detection
EZiCAT i-Series feature numeric signal strength readout, specifically designed for easy Sonde location. The highest number displayed indicates the exact position of the Sonde beneath the ground.
