How The Digicat Functions - Leica Geosystems LASER ALIGNMENT DIGICAT 100 Manual De Empleo

How the DIGICAT functions

The DIGICAT locator detects the
electromagnetic field, which is emitted
by metallic underground services.
The Digicat converts the electromag-
netic field into an electrical signal,
which then informs the user of the
results of the detection via the Display
Panel.
en
Different types of underground ser-
vices emit different types of signals.
Some signals are already present on
the service and can be readily de-
tected by the DIGICAT. We call these
passive signals.
Some metallic underground services
do not emit signals. These services
may be traced by applying a signal to
the service using a generator or trans-
mitter such as the DIGITEX 8/33.
The DIGICAT has been designed to
be very user friendly.

It is simple to use in many tracing
situations without requiring highly
trained operators.
Although the DIGICAT is a
powerful tool, there is no sub-
stitute for having diagrams,
drawings and other information
about the area about to be
traced.
