Cable Detection EZiCAT i550xf Cable & Pipe Locator

The EZiCAT i550xf is the professional cable location tool that's durable, incredibly easy to use and packed for of advanced functionality, designed to make your job easier and, crucially, significantly safer.

The i550xf features all the functionality of its sibling, the i550, albeit with the added benefits of low frequency detection (512 and 640Hz) for longer range scanning, current level measurement and, usefully, the option to choose the last used mode when starting up. Used in all manner of environments, the i550xf is used by professionals in the construction, engineering, rail and utilities industries throughout the UK.

First Rate Functionality & Flexibility

Traditionally, cable avoidance tools (or CATs) can be fiddly and difficult to operate. Not so with the EZiCAT range from Cable Detection. As with all other models in the line up, the i550xf features automated controls making it incredibly user friendly and easy to operate, even for those with the minimum of training and experience.

That said, when safety is paramount, ease of use alone isn't enough. Cable Detection have given this device a truly impressive range of abilities including...

  • Power Mode - Detects signals radiated by power cables - those services most likely to cause serious injury or death.
  • Radio Mode - Allows the operative to detect signals coming from a signal generator.
  • Depth Indication - When used with an EZiTrace unit the user is also given valuable depth information about the service being traced.
  • Low Frequency Location - The two added low frequencies (512 and 640Hz) allows the user to detect signals from much further away than a regular EZiCAT when used in conjunction with a signal generator.
  • Hazard Zone - Lets the operative know about services that are particularly close to the surface, thereby posing more risk.
  • Automatic Mode - Automatically picks up both power and radio signals for fast, efficient scanning.
  • Pinpoint Assist - This mode stores the highest reading picked up for a few seconds. It might not sound much but, during a fast and fluid scanning job, this can make it much easier and quicker to detect a specific service.
  • Current Level Measurement - This displays the level current flowing through a service which, in turn, makes it easier to verify exactly which service the EZiTX signal generator is connected to.
  • Last Used Mode Start Up - This allows the user to decide whether the unit should start up in the last used mode. Incredibly useful when doing a lot of 'start/stop' scanning.
  • Signal Strength Indicator (SSI) - When an EZiTX is connected/clamped onto a nearby service, the operator will see a numerical value on the LCD display which will increase the closer they are to that service. The highest reading achieved means the user is directly above the service.
  • Enhanced Sonde Detection - When using the i550xf with a sonde, the LCD screen shows a steadily increasing reading the closer the user is to that sonde. The highest reading achieved means that the user is directly above it.

Whilst it's this range of functions that sets the EZiCAT i550xf apart from its rivals, there are a few other less critical functions that come in handy. A service indicator (a spanner on the screen) tells the user when the tool needs servicing whilst the test function quickly tests the device is working properly before carrying out any scanning. The backlit, easy read LCD screen makes this the ideal tool to use in all light conditions.

Easy & Comfortable To Use

Unlike many other cable avoidance tools, Cable Detection have developed the EZiCAT to be as simple, logical and easy to use as possible. When your safety and that of your team at risk, the last thing an operative should be doing is fiddling around with countless settings and levels of sensitivity, worrying which mode they should be in. Detection and location should be simple and straight forward. With the i550xf, thanks to its automatic controls, it is.

Network Rail Approved

Whilst the majority of our customers use these devices on general construction, civil engineering and utilities projects, the EZiCAT i550xf holds a significant trump card over much of the competition... Network Rail Approved product status. Tested by Network Rail and approved for use on its infrastructure, this device is the ideal tool to help safeguard your workforce and cut the number of operatives injured and killed on the nation's railways.

Please note - whilst some firms do still attempt to get away with it, it is against regulations for anyone to use a non-Network Rail approved cable avoidance tool on any Network Rail site.

Numerous Applications

These tools are bought and used by many different industries and sectors to protect their employees and their organisations from the negative effects of service strikes. The most commonly supplied sectors include...

  • General Construction
  • Groundworks
  • Ground Investigation
  • Civil Engineering
  • Railway Engineering & Maintenance
  • Utilities Firms (Gas, Water, Electricity)
