Radiodetection’s range of Cable Avoidance Tools, C.A.T4 and Genny4, build on over 30 years of Cable Avoidance expertise to enable operators to find more buried utilities, faster. An innovative range of tools, engineered to deliver a step change in capabilities with minimal change in work practices or training requirements.detect more, detect faster™  lets the operator check an intended excavation area for Power, Radio and Genny4 signals, and pinpoint located utilities, in a single scan. The bargraph ‘tidemark’ enables the user to quickly spot and zero-in on a buried conductor.

The Genny4 provides a simultaneous dual-frequency signal output. Alongside the familiar 33 kHz signal for general purpose locates, the Genny4 transmits a specialised Small Diameter Locate frequency which facilitates location of utilities such as telecoms and street lighting, including spurs. For difficult locates, the Signal Boost function enables the Genny4 signals to travel further and deeper, and couple onto utilities more easily. 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 and requires no input from the operator.

StrikeAlert - Although work practices and guidelines insist power cables are buried below a certain depth, a common cause of cable strike is shallow cables. The StrikeAlert feature alerts the user to shallow power cables by flashing the ALERT icon on the display of the CAT3V or CAT+.

Features:

• Accurate determination of underground signals from utilities
• Dynamic Overload Protection filters out the effects of electrical noise generated in substations and HV applications
• Lightweight high impact ABS case provides protection to IP54 (dust/water spray) for protection in any weather
• Detachable loudspeaker for use in noisy environments
• High contrast display with auto-backlight
• Bargraph tidemark allows quick zeroing in on a conductor
• Avoidance mode - simultaneously search for and pinpoint Genny, Power and Radio signals
• Genny Mode - detects the signal generated from the Genny4 (sold separately)
• Power Mode - detects the electromagnetic fields generated by loaded power cables
• Radio Mode - detects long-range radio signals as they travel along buried cables and pipes
• Optional StrikeAlert warning alerts the user to shallow buried utilities
• ECert Remote Calibration Validation - activated through CAT Manager Software
