CAT4 Genny Cable & Pipe Locator
C.A.T4® and Genny4® products provide a comprehensive range of Cable Avoidance Tools helping professionals to drive best locating practice, reduce the number of cable strikes, and dig more safely.
C.A.T4 and Genny4 have been designed to increase the likelihood of detecting smaller cables such as telephone lines or CATV, particularly
service drops from the road or pathway to a property.
Using a Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) reduces the risk of property damage, death, or severe injury, which may result if buried pipes and cables are not correctly located before digging.
The Radiodetection C.A.T4 and Genny4 products provide a comprehensive range of Cable Avoidance Tools, helping professionals drive best-locating practice, reduce the number of cable strikes, and dig more safely.
The CAT4 detector can be used in four modes
- Avoidance Mode (A): detects all locate signals simultaneously, including Genny, Power and Radio signals. The sensitivity control adjusts the Power, Radio and Genny signal levels simultaneously.
- Genny Mode (G): detects the locate signals produced by the Genny4. Using a Genny is the most reliable way to detect a pipe or cable. The C.A.T4 and Genny4 feature new locate signals that make the combination more sensitive to small core cables (e.g. telecoms & street lighting).
- Power Mode (P): detects signals originating from power transmission networks. These signals may be found on any pipe or cable, not just power cables. Some power cables do not radiate detectable power signals. Power signals may not be found on power cables that are switched off (e.g. a street light cable during daylight hours). Always use a Genny before excavating.
- Radio Mode (R): detects radio signals originating from distant radio transmitters as they travel along underground pipes and cables.
