Leica Geosystems says its new Leica Digicat 600i and 650i series is set to ‘revolutionise’ underground cable location
265 Leica Geosystems says its new Leica Digicat 600i and 650i series, with Logicat software, is set to revolutionise underground cable location.

The 600i and 650i, fitted with what Leica says is an innovative data capture and on-board memory function, is said to aid operations management moves to increase onsite safety by detecting cables and identifying operator training needs. Locating underground cables and pipes is said to be a simple and efficient task with the 600i and 650i series, boosting the operator’s productivity and profitability.

The 650i is said to offer the user the same features and functionally of the 600i, with the extra benefit of service depth indication.

When using the Digicat in conjunction with the Digitex 100t or Sonde in 8 or 33 kHz modes, operators can determine the depth of the buried utility which, according to Leica, provides a clear advantage when conducting ground surveys.

The 600i and 650i locators have Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing the Digicat to integrate with mobile mapping technology to log survey data, in addition to enabling wireless Bluetooth data transfer. With Logicat software, calculation records can be retrieved and collated, helping to improve onsite safety and identify training needs.
