Cable Locator

As a safety critical tool, C.A.T4 and Genny4 offer a number of features designed to support safe working and help to drive utility strike rates down. StrikeAlert™ warns the operator of shallow buried utilities, while the SWING™ warning alerts of incorrect usage patterns, encouraging corrective action. C.A.T4’s Dynamic Overload Protection feature automatically filters out high levels of interference, allowing operators to continue working even in electrically noisy areas such as substations and under high-voltage cables.
The Radiodetection C.A.T and Genny is designed to locate buried pipes and cables prior to any excavation keeping operators safe and allowing utility management at minimum risk and cost. With a clear backlit display, mode controls and sensitivity at your fingertips, the C.A.T and Genny has become the preferred Cable avoidance tool for decades based on its ease of use and reliability of resultsThe new C.A.T4 digital platform delivers highly refined locate capabilities, specifically designed to help the operator find more buried utilities. The C.A.T4 Avoidance Mode lets the operator check an intended excavation area for Power, Radio and Genny signals, and pinpoint located utilities in a single scan. Features such as the bar graph tidemark enable an operator to quickly spot a peak response and zero-in on a buried conductor.

 

The new Genny4 Signal Generator, with a new integrated logic design, provides a class-first simultaneous dual-frequency signal output design. Alongside the familiar 33kHz locate signal for general purpose locates, the Genny4 transmits a second frequency designed to facilitate location of small diameter cables such as telecoms and street lighting, including spurs. For tricky locates, the new power boost function enables the locate signal to travel further and deeper, and couple onto utilities more easily.

 

The C.A.T4 guides users towards better and safer working practices through its optional SWING Rate detector and Service Due date warning.

 

C.A.T4 is a safety-critical precision instrument and the optional 30-day countdown to the Service Due date, CALSafe and innovative eCert on-line system calibration validation capabilities are designed to reinforce company and recommended service policies. This is a equipment which works as a cable avoidance tool and as a signal generator, cable locator & survey tool.
