RADIODETECTION C.A.T4 and Genny4 Cable Avoidance Tool - IC-CAT4
Unfortunately, the C.A.T4 has been discontinued, check out our other Survey Equipment for more options.
The C.A.T4 and Genny4 range represents the latest evolution of the highly popular Cable Avoidance Tools, as pioneered by Radiodetection, enabling operators to work more efficiently, more safely and to manage their C.A.T4 and Genny4 fleet more effectively.
Detect more, detect faster
The 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 bargraph 'tidemark' enable an operator to quickly spot a peak response and zero-in on a buried conductor.
The new Genny4, 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.
Dig more safely
Radiodetection's proprietary StrikeAlert has been improved to reduce the number of shallow cable strikes. The C.A.T4 guides users towards better
and safer working practices through its optional SWING Rate detector and Service Due date warning.
Optional data acquisition capabilities allow Plant Supervisors to administer their fleet more safely and effectively by providing comprehensive logs of C.A.T4 usage for analysis and personnel development.
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.
StrikeAlert
Minimise the risk of hitting a shallow cable with the optional StrikeAlert which has been enhanced and optimised to reduce the instances of
false warnings.
Data Acquisition
eC.A.T4 series products can store over a year;s worth of the key measurements and modes of operation. C.A.T Manager can be used to export
log files to enable detailed data usage analysis offering multiple benefits such as identifying training and development needs, and providing independent
historical records of the instrument's use. Backed-up data on a PC gives virtually unlimited record keeping for the life of the product.
Dynamic Overload Protection
Radiodetection's unique digital signal processing capabilities equips the C.A.T4 with the ability to reject electrical interference. Dynamic Overload
Protection gives C.A.T4 series products the ability to continue operating in electrically challenging areas, such as near substations and under power
cables, where other locators' detection circuitry may be overloaded and no longer function.
Avoidance ModeTM
Sweep an area of Power, Radio and Genny signals simultaneously, saving time. C.A.T4 lets operators control the sensitivity of each mode/signal, enabling
buried utilities to be pinpointed in a single pass, while Real Sound provides audio feedback derived directly from the utility located, easing identification
to maximise speed whilst maintaining safety
