Helping professionals to drive best locating practice, to reduce the number of cable strikes, and to dig more safely.

Cable Avoidance Tools

C.A.T and Genny: Drive best practice, reduce utility strikes, and improve safety

Cable Avoidance Tools assist in avoiding buried cables and pipes during excavation, reducing the risk of injury to personnel and damage to utilities. The Genny4 generates signals that flow along buried utilities. The C.A.T4 detects signals, whether generated by the Genny4, inherently radiated from metallic services, or from the complementary range of Sondes (Mice).

Read our guide to cable and pipe locators to understand more about how locators work.

Building on over 40 year's experience, C.A.T4 and Genny4 comprise Radiodetection’s most advanced C.A.T and Genny system to date, designed to deliver optimal performance, higher levels of safety, advanced features and at competitive cost of ownership. The Genny4 generates signals simultaneously in two frequencies, and the C.A.T4 detects these two frequencies simultaneously to give greater assurance in finding all buried services without adding complexity for users

Data Logging

Our eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 products are equipped with automatic usage-logging capable of holding 2 years of work history in internal memory for later analysis. The gC.A.T4 adds GPS information to the usage data to identify the position of each scan, and Bluetooth connectivity to Android and iOS devices to enable near real-time monitoring and analysis of on-site gC.A.T4 usage.

SuperCAT4

The SuperCAT4+ range is designed to target specific industry assets, using a wider selection of passive, active and sonde frequencies. Using familiar C.A.T controls and display, minimal retraining is required to access these advanced capabilities.

Features

  • Drive best practice

    C.A.T Manager™ Online and C.A.T Manager for PC provides a remote management system specifically designed for supervisors and safety officers, to enable them identify operators’ locating operations and drive best practice.

    C.A.T Manager Online works with gC.A.T4 models to provide near-real time monitoring capabilities and cloud based data storage and analysis. At the end of each scan the C.A.T Manager Android or iOS apps, automatically transmit the comprehensive 1xsec usage data to the cloud system.

    The C.A.T Manager basic account is free to use and offers access to the last 3 months’ usage, with analysis and survey reporting.

    The Pro and Enterprise options have been designed in collaboration with major UK contractors to provide a range of features designed to enable teams and contracts management, more detailed survey reports and automatic alerts when the C.A.T Manager detects poor practice.

    C.A.T Manager for PC utilises USB 2.0 connectivity to be able to retrieve and store locally eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 data logs. Data can be exported and uploaded to C.A.T Manager online for further analysis, storage and to share data across multiple sites.

    Reduce the number of strikes

    Small Cable Locate - Dual-frequency locate

    Simultaneous dual frequency and simple locating methods assist C.A.T4 and Genny4 users to locate Small Diameter cable such as telecom twisted pairs, CATV feeds, spurs and drop-offs which have historically been hard to find and are a common strike risk

    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 Mode™

    Sweep an area using 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.

    Genny4 Signal Boost

    The Genny4 offers, alongside its standard power mode, a Signal Boost feature which increases the output signal by up to 10 times allowing you to locate over extra distance and depth.

    High Visibility Display with Backlight

    The C.A.T4’s high visibility display helps to minimise the possibility of misreading critical information from the unit. The high contrast and automatic backlight illumination provide optimum visibility in all light conditions.

    Improve Safety

    StrikeAlert™

    Reduce the risk of hitting a shallow cable with the optional StrikeAlertTM warning, enhanced and optimised in the CAT4 range to reduce the instances of false warnings.

    SWING™

    Radiodetection C.A.Ts are designed to respond exceptionally quickly to even the smallest detectable underground signals.

    Radiodetection's research into underground signal detection has shown that the ability of an operator to identify these buried utilities is significantly reduced by careless working practices such as excessive or rapid swinging.

    To further reduce utility strike risks, eC.A.T4 units are equipped with sensors to detect such incorrect usage and warn the operator with an alert that is also stored in the data log.

    Service and Calibration

    CALSAFE™

    Minimise the risk of having to delay a survey because a C.A.T4’s calibration has expired. eC.A.T4 series products provide a 30 days countdown warning to the expiry of the calibration certificate. The optional CALSafe can be set to prevent the unit from operating outside the calibration period, ensuring compliance with company policies – and the interval required between services can be customised within a 1 year period using the C.A.T Manager software.

    C.A.T Manager for Windows PC allows plant, fleet and site managers to minimise down time by performing software upgrades, reproducing calibration certificates and performing online calibrations using eCert. eCERT provides a fast and thorough test of key circuitry elements within C.A.T4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet

    It also gives the ability to turn on or off C.A.T4 features such as Strike alert or Swing Warnings**.

    **Model dependant

    eCert™

    eCert provides a fast and thorough test of key circuitry elements within C.A.T4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet. eCert, activated through the C.A.T Manager PC software, provides a fast, thorough and convenient test of the key locating circuitry within C.A.T4, and validates its performance against the original factory calibration. Following an eCert test pass, a Radiodetection Calibration Certificate for that C.A.T4 can be printed or saved. What's more, C.A.T Manager can reproduce the original factory calibration certificate, or any eCert certificates that it has produced, on demand. For a complete maintenance package, Radiodetection also offers exhaustive factory-backed service and recalibration options including full mechanical integrity inspection and function testing.
