CAT Cable Locator and Genny

CAT Cable Locator and Genny

CAT Cable Locator and Genny – Explore the latest range of Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and Signal Generators (Genny), pioneered by Radiodetection.

CAT4® 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.

CAT4 (Part no: 10/CAT4EN29): The CAT4 is the standard model of the range. Using it with the Genny4 transmitter, experienced operators will be able to find more buried utilities, faster.

CAT4+ (Part no: 10/CAT4+EN31): The CAT4+ offers the same locating performance as the CAT4 but with addition of Depth measurement, allowing better identification of the route of buried utilities.

gCAT4+ (Part no: 10/GCAT4+EN03): This model adds GPS position to the usage data recorded. Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless transfer of usage data to the CAT Manager Online cloud based system for near real-time monitoring of operators’ performance.

Genny4 (Part no: 10/GENNY4EN): Genny4’s patented simultaneous dual-frequency signal output facilitates location of small diameter cables such as telecoms and street lighting, including spurs. All CAT4 locator models have patented technology to detect both signals simultaneously. The power boost function in Genny4 enables the locate signal to travel further and deeper, and couple onto utilities more easily.

What is CAT Manager?

CAT Manager is a software suite designed to offer online or local analysis of usage behaviours, explore surveyed locations using Google Maps, and produce surveys and usage reports. Data can be exported and shared as KML or CSV files.

The PC version enables you to keep fleets up-to-date with the latest firmware and perform calibration. Near-real time monitoring of gCAT4 and Genny4 fleets is possible using the Android or IOS app and the cloud based CAT Manager Online.

Drive best practice

CAT Manager™ Online and CAT 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.

CAT Manager Online works with gCAT4+ models to provide near-real time monitoring capabilities and cloud based data storage and analysis. At the end of each scan the CAT Manager automatically transmit the comprehensive 1xsec usage data to the cloud system.

The CAT 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 poor practice is detected.

CAT Manager for PC utilises USB 2.0 connectivity to be able to retrieve and store locally gCAT4+ data logs. Data can be exported and uploaded to CAT 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 CAT4 and Genny4 users to locate Small Diameter cable such as telecom twisted pairs, 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 CAT4 with the ability to reject electrical interference.
Dynamic Overload Protection gives CAT4 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. CAT4 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 CAT4’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 StrikeAlert™ audible and visual warning indicator, enhanced and optimised in the CAT4 range to reduce the instances of false warnings.

SWING™
Radiodetection CATs 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 incorrect working practices such as excessive or rapid swinging.

To further reduce utility strike risks, gCAT4+ 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 CAT4’s calibration has expired. The gCAT4+ provides a 30 days countdown warning to the expiry of the calibration certificate.  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 CAT Manager software.

CAT 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 CAT4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet.

It also gives the ability to turn on or off CAT4 features such as StrikeAlert or Swing Warnings**.
**Model dependant

eCert™

eCert provides a fast and thorough test of key circuitry elements within CAT4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet. eCert, activated through the CAT Manager PC software, provides a fast, thorough and convenient test of the key locating circuitry within CAT4, and validates its performance against the original factory calibration.

Following an eCert test pass, a Radiodetection Calibration Certificate for that CAT4 can be printed or saved. What’s more, CAT Manager can reproduce the original factory calibration certificate, or any eCert certificates that it has produced, on demand.

For a complete maintenance package, TocDem Utilities also offers exhaustive factory-backed service and recalibration options including full mechanical integrity inspection and function testing through Radiodetection.

  • Avoidance mode, speeds the survey by searching for Power, Radio and Genny signals simultaneously.

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, warns the user of incorrect tracing techniques.
  • Built in Data logging and GPS/GNSS receiver enables usage and location analysis and reporting.
  • Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to Android and iOS devices.
  • Service Due indicator and CalSafe help preventing usage of the instruments beyond the calibration due date.
