The New EZiCAT i500 & i550 represent 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.

Every year site workers are injured due to inadvertently striking buried utilities such as electricity cables or gas pipelines. Obtaining accurate information about the location of buried utilities has never been more essential to protect employees and equipment during any excavation project.

Local legislation normally prescribes the use of a locating device before any kind of excavation takes place. It makes perfect sense to search for, trace and mark all services before work commences.

With the EZiSYSTEM users can detect buried utilities with ease. EZiSYSTEMhas been specifically designed to reduce human error and to increase site safety with its wealth of intelligent and unique features.

The EZiCAT i500 & i550 locate 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…

EZiCAT i500 locator
With its automatic controls and combined detection mode ‘Auto Mode’ the EZiCAT i500 locator has been specifically designed to reduce human error during the location process. Combined with its precise and reliable service positioning, the EZiCAT i500 will prevent damage to underground services during excavation projects. Active signal tracing is available when using the EZiTRACE signal generator.

EZiCAT i550 locator
Contains the same functionality as the EZiCAT i500; however it offers the added benefit of service depth estimation, when used in conjunction with the EZiTRACE signal generator or Sonde in 8/33 kHz mode

Bluetooth Technology
The EZiCAT i-Series locators can be purchased with the added benefit of Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with mobile mapping technology to log survey data.

EZiTRACE Signal Generator
Designed in conjunction with the EZiCAT locator, to easily and accurately trace the route of, or locate, an underground cable or metal pipe that does not carry a naturally present signal. The EZiTRACE generates a specific "active" signal, which can then be traced using the EZiCAT.
