C.SCOPE – DXL3 Depth Measuring Cable Avoidance Tool
The C.SCOPE DXL3 is a high-performance, depth-measuring cable avoidance tool designed to help professionals quickly and accurately detect buried services before excavation begins. Striking underground utilities can result in dangerous safety risks, costly delays, and expensive repairs, making the DXL3 an essential tool for contractors, groundworkers, and utility maintenance teams.
What sets the DXL3 apart is its integrated depth measurement capability, giving operators the ability to determine not only the location but also the depth of buried services. This allows for more informed planning and safer excavation, particularly in congested or complex utility environments. Compact, intuitive, and built for repeatable performance, the DXL3 is a pick-up-and-go solution that empowers users to work with greater confidence, accuracy, and safety on every job.
Featuring three intuitive and proven detection modes—POWER, RADIO, and GENERATOR—the DXL3 provides versatile and reliable utility locating across a wide range of environments and site conditions.
-
POWER Mode – Detects live electricity cables by sensing naturally radiated signals from current flow.
-
RADIO Mode – Picks up ambient radio signals often present on metal pipes and cables, enabling basic detection without additional equipment.
-
GENERATOR Mode – Works with the C.Scope SGA3 Signal Generator (sold separately) to trace applied signals on pipes and cables, including signals from a C.Scope Sonde—ideal for tracing non-metallic pipes.
Key Features:
- Three detection modes: POWER, RADIO, and GENERATOR for versatile locating
