Component Description
Single-frequency
antenna
The 600 MHz antenna detects underground utilities up
to a depth of 2 m, depending on the soil conditions
and software parameters.
Control unit The DSX communicates with the positioning systems,
the tablet and the encoders to ensure the entire sys-
tem is working together correctly.
Encoders The encoders are used for measuring the distance
travelled from the starting point of a scan. The meas-
ured distance is constantly transferred to the DSX.
The encoders are positioned inside the rear wheels of
the DSX to ensure correct measurements even in
rough terrain.
Handle The handle of the DSX can be adjusted both in height
and inclination. The recommended inclination is indic-
ated with markers on the handle. For easy transport of
the DSX, the handle can be folded up.
The LAN cable for connecting to the tablet is by the
right handle
Wheels DSX is using solid rubber tires which do not require
pumping.
Support tablet The support is designed to hold a Getac CT1000 tablet.
The inclination of the support can be adjusted to the
optimal viewing angle.
Pole support (sur-
veyor kit only)
The pole support includes two clamps and two brack-
ets. Both clamps will be attached to the pole and the
brackets mounted to the handle and housing.
