Radio detection
Genny4
Featuring a simultaneous dual-frequency signal output, the Genny4 transmitter is used to “induce” or apply a distinctive signal into either the metallic materials or utility services, enabling the user to easily identify the location of the underground cable
Alongside the familiar 33kHz locating signal for general location purposes, the Genny4 transmits a second frequency designed to facilitate the location of small diameter cables such as telecommunications and street lighting, including spurs
Also, using the transmitter, the approximate depth can also be viewed
The Genny4 also has a Signal Boost feature which increases the output signal by up to 10 times allowing you to locate cables with the CAT4 over extra distance and depth
The Radiodetection C.A.T. 4TM and GENNY4TM has become the industry standard pipe and cable avoidance tool, recognised as the leader across all industry segments providing performance, ruggedness and reliability, together with affordability and low cost of ownership
CAT4
The CAT4 detector can detect signals that naturally radiate from metallic services. This is typically underground power that is live
Consulting plans or engineering reports will aid the user in knowing where to start searching
One key feature of the CAT4 is the StrikeAlertTM feature. It is designed to assist the operator in reducing the number of shallow cable strikes
Different modes of Operation
There are 4 different modes of operation, all controlled on dial of the CAT4 detector
A Avoidance mode
– Simultaneously searches for and pinpoints Genny Power and Radio signals
G Genny signal locate
– Detects the signals transmitted by Genny4, with on-demand estimation of the depth of buried utilities
P Power signal locate
– Detects the electromagnetic fields generated by loaded power cables
R Radio signal locate
– Detects long-range radio signals as they travel along buried cables and pipes
An optional Flexitrace (which is a 50metre 6mm diameter rod with wire conductors) can be used to help trace non-metallic pipes (i.e. plastic pipes)
More information on the Flexitrace can be found below
