1 General Information
1.1 How to Use this Manual
It is recommended to set up the product while reading through this manual.
Naming convention EZiCAT i500, i550, i600, i650, i700, i750 and xf models are hereinafter referred to as Locator.
Differences between the models are marked and described.
EZiTEX t100, t300 and xf models is hereinafter referred to as Transmitter.
EZiROD is hereinafter referred to as Conductive Rod.
Index The index is at the back of the manual.
Instrument label On the Locator and Transmitter you will find a label that shows some important informa-
tion by means of illustrations. You will find some of these illustrations in this manual too.
This should help to get a clear connection between the instrument label and the informa-
tion in this manual.

1.2 i-Series General Information
Description Locators are used to detect buried conductive services emitting an electromagnetic signal
which is generated by a current passing through the service.
Transmitters are used to apply a distinct signal to conductive services, which may not
radiate electromagnetic signals or may need to be traced for a specific purpose.
The Transmitter is required to make a depth or current measurement.
The Locators and Transmitters described within this manual will greatly increase the detec-
tion process and help to reduce the dangers and costs associated with service strikes. But
the very nature of electromagnetic location is dependent on the services being conductive
(metallic) and radiating a signal as current flows through them.
It is important to remember that a Locator on its own will not detect all services and care
should be taken when excavating. It is generally accepted that a safe system of work should
be adopted which would include planning the work in advance, the use of utility maps, the
use of Locators and Transmitters, and the use of safe digging practices.
Caution The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service.
Services without a detectable signal may be present.
The Locators can only locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by
the water and gas utilities, with the use of appropriate accessories.
Precautions:
Always excavate with care.
EZiSYSTEM, General Information 9
Accessories Designed to increase the detection of services with no (or little) signals on them. Generally
work in conjunction with the Locator and Transmitter.
Functional Check Designed to demonstrate the equipment is working satisfactorily in between service inter-
vals. Refer to "Appendix A Functional Checks" for more information.
