Overview: The document provides detailed information on KATIMEX® locating devices designed for underground cable and pipe laying. These devices are essential for identifying the routing of shafts and locating non-conductive pipes, which can be challenging without the right equipment.

Specifications: The core component of the KATIMEX® system is the Polykat® fibreglass profile, which offers high thrust stability and a small radius of curvature. It contains copper wires that emit a locatable signal when connected to a high-frequency transmitter. The system can detect signals several meters deep, depending on the equipment and local conditions.

Applications: KATIMEX® locating systems are suitable for various underground construction tasks, including fresh water and sewage pipelines, cable laying and repair, and drainage work. They are also used in domestic installations to determine pipe courses or locate faults.

Technical Information: The systems are compatible with standard transmitting and receiving equipment operating in the kHz range. The accuracy and depth of location depend on the equipment's specifications and local environmental factors.

Product Variants: KATIMEX® offers two main versions of locating systems:

• Point and Route Location: This system uses a sonde attached to the fibreglass rod for easy location of defective points in pipelines. It allows for tracking entire pipe courses with no signal loss, requiring only one person for operation.
• Route Location: Designed for tracking entire pipe courses, this system also functions as a cable pulling device. It features a compact steel frame and Polykat® fibreglass profile.

Product Advantages: Key benefits include no signal loss, suitability for both spot and route locating, one-person handling, and a compact design.

Product Overview: The document lists various models with specifications such as rod length, diameter, weight, and article numbers. These models include the Kati® Blitz 2in1, Cablemax 2in1, Cablejet 2in1, and Pipe Eel 2in1, each designed for specific applications and equipped with integrated copper wires for signal transmission.
