C.A.T4 And Genny4 Selector

Choose The Right C.A.T4 And Genny4 Setup.

C.A.T4 is the locator family. Genny4 is the signal generator that helps the locator find more utilities, especially small cables, telecoms, street lighting and spurs before excavation.

Quick decisionStart with C.A.T4 for avoidance, choose “+” for depth, choose “e” for records, choose “g” for GPS and online monitoring, then add Genny4 for active locating.

Use C.A.T4 Alone

Fast passive sweep

Use Power and Radio modes for a quick avoidance sweep when no transmitter setup is available.

Add Genny4

More utilities found

Use Genny4 when the target may not radiate a strong passive signal, especially telecoms, street lighting, spurs and smaller cables.

Add Accessories

Better signal application

Use direct leads, clamps, live connectors, earth accessories and bags to suit the connection point and site workflow.

Model Selector

What Is The Difference Between Each C.A.T4 Variant?

Use the model code as the decision point. The higher models add depth, records, GPS and management workflows rather than changing the basic avoidance purpose.

C.A.T4

Standard Cable Avoidance

Best for: Daily excavation checks where the team needs a simple cable avoidance locator.
Main difference: Standard model in the C.A.T4 range. Pair with Genny4 to find more buried utilities faster.

PowerRadioGenny signal

C.A.T4+

Avoidance With Depth

Best for: Sites where operators need depth measurement to help identify the route of buried utilities.
Main difference: Same locating performance as C.A.T4, with depth measurement added.

Usage Records And CALSafe

Best for: Fleets that need service due control, calibration discipline and local C.A.T Manager reporting.
Main difference: Adds recorded usage data workflows for supervisors using C.A.T Manager for PC.

GPS And Online Monitoring

Best for: Contractors who need location-linked usage evidence and near real-time operator monitoring.
Main difference: Adds GPS/GNSS position to usage data and Bluetooth transfer to C.A.T Manager Online.

Genny4 Decision

When Should The C.A.T4 Be Used With Genny4?

Use C.A.T4 for the sweep. Add Genny4 when a stronger, applied signal is needed to improve confidence and find smaller or harder-to-detect utilities.

Avoidance Mode

Sweep using Power, Radio and Genny signals together to speed up the initial site scan.

Genny4 Dual Frequency

Genny4 outputs dual frequencies simultaneously to help locate small diameter cables and spurs.

Signal Boost

Genny4 Signal Boost increases output power for extra distance, depth and easier coupling.

Direct / Clamp / Live Connection

Apply a stronger Genny signal through the connection method that suits the utility and access point.

Safety And Fleet Control

Features That Help Reduce Strikes And Improve Practice.

StrikeAlert

Audible and visual warning helps reduce the risk of hitting shallow cables.

Dynamic Overload Protection

Rejects electrical interference so the locator can keep working near substations and power cables.

Real Sound

Audio derived from the detected signal helps operators distinguish utilities while locating.

High Visibility Display

High contrast display and automatic backlight help minimise misreadings in changing light.

SWING Warning

Model-dependent warning helps identify incorrect locating technique and stores the event in logs.
