RadioDetection C.A.T4+ 33kHz (Receiver only) Underground Services Locator

RadioDetection C.A.T4+ Cable Avoidance Tool with (depth function if transmitter is used)

The RadioDetection C.A.T4+ cable avoidance tool allows ground workers to accurately detect, map and check how deep underground utility services such as power cables, data/telecoms supplies, pipe work and other structures are when excavating.

It is important to note that the CAT4+ cable avoidance tool is recommended for use alongside RadioDetection’s Genny4 Signal Generator (select above if required). This allows for locating services that do not generate an electromagnetic field or radio signal, in order for them to be detected by the C.A.T4+ alone.

Moreover, and in addition to the standard C.A.T4, the CAT4+ features a depth function. When used in ‘genny mode’ (which requires use of the Genny4), the instrument will display a depth indication to a located utility service. Note the depth measurements can be displayed as either Metric or Imperial units - please be sure to let us know which unit is preferred upon ordering.

The CAT4+ is available with an optional ‘StrikeAlert’ function that displays the location of services that are buried at a shallow depth, which could potentially cause a ‘strike’ risk if left undetected. The ‘StrikeAlert’ model can be selected from the drop down menu above.

The C.A.T4+ features 4 modes to assist in detecting different utility types; avoidance mode, genny mode, power mode and radio mode:

• Avoidance mode - detects genny, power and radio signals at the same time
• Power mode - detects EMFs that surround buried electricity supply cables
• Radio mode - detects long-range radio signals travelling through buried pipes and cables
• Genny mode - used to detect signals generated by the optional Radiodetection Genny4 Signal Generator. Also displays depths of buried utilities when used with the C.A.T4+ cable avoidance tool

Similar to the other C.A.T4 cable avoidance tools, the C.A.T4+ features ‘Dynamic Overload Protection’ that filters out electrical noise that can affect the signals used to detect underground utility services. Any signals detected are presented by means of a ‘tidemark’ bargraph on a high-contrast, backlit LCD screen.

The RadioDetection CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool) and Genny has become the industry standard pipe and cable avoidance tool, recognised as a leader across all industry segments, providing performance, ruggedness and reliability, together with affordability and low cost of ownership. While the CAT can detect signals naturally radiating from metallic services, the Genny can be used to broaden applications by applying a distinctive signal for the CAT to detect.

AvoidanceScan – allows the user to sweep an area searching for Power, Radio and Genny signals simultaneously, dramatically speeding up pre dig survey times and encouraging the full use of all three modes reducing costs and improving safety.

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+.

Swing – To prevent damage to the locators by careless working practices such as excessive or rapid swinging, eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 models can be equipped with sensors to detect such incorrect usage and warn the operator with an alert that is also stored in the data log.

CAL Safe – Enabled units can be set to automatically deactivate on expiring of the defined calibration interval, to help ensure compliance with individual company policies.
