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.

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.
