C.Scope SGA4 One Watt Signal Generator

The C.Scope SGA4 One Watt Signal Generator is designed for use with C.Scope CXL4 and DXL4 Cable Avoidance Tools and produces a one-watt signal for when the locators are used in generator mode. This can be transmitted through direct contact, through the wraparound method or via induction from above ground to a buried metal cable or pipe, thus allowing more accurate cable location and preventing costly, dangerous cable strikes.

An adjustable power output of 1W on the C.Scope SGA4 means that deeper and longer cables can be energised, thus improving accuracy over large areas. It is capable of producing an all-purpose 33kHz signal as well as a specific 131kHz signal for finding short, thin, or unearthed wires. The signal can be transmitted continuously or with a pulse in order to prevent interference in noisy environments.

Practical features of the C.Scope SGA4 include an integrated accessory tray and the IP65-rated casing is ideally suited for use in challenging weather conditions. The instrument is covered by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.
