Application

As a safety critical tool, the CAT4 range also offers a number of features designed to support safe working and help to drive utility strike rates down.

• StrikeAlert warns of the presence of shallow cables.
• SWING Warning, for example, warns the user of incorrect usage.
• Built in Data logging and GPS/GNSS receiver enables usage and location analysis and reporting.
• Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to Android and iOS devices.
• Genny4 Signal Boost 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.
• 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.
• Improve Safety with the StrikeAlert™ feature. Reduce the risk of hitting a shallow cable with the StrikeAlert™ warning.
• 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.
• High Visibility Display with Backlight. The C.A.T4’s high visibility display helps to minimize the possibility of misreading critical information from the unit. The high contrast and automatic backlight illumination provide optimum visibility in all light conditions. Reduce the number of strikes.
• Service Due indicator with CALSAFE™. Minimize 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. Helps to prevent the unit from operating outside the calibration period, ensuring compliance with company policies. CALSafe automatically disables the unit on the expiry of the calibration period.
• 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 utilizes 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.
