C.A.T Avoidance Tool Calibration (Receiver)

C.A.T Avoidance Tool Calibration (Genny)

C.A.T Avoidance Tool Receiver Calibration ensures your Cable Avoidance Tool (C.A.T) accurately detects and locates underground services by verifying the performance of its receiver. Accurate signal detection is essential for identifying buried cables and utilities, helping engineers, contractors and surveyors excavate safely while reducing the risk of damaging underground infrastructure. Our technicians calibrate the receiver using traceable reference equipment to ensure reliable performance across all operating modes.

During the calibration process, we verify the receiver’s sensitivity, signal response and detection accuracy against known reference signals. Each operating mode is tested to confirm the instrument responds correctly to the frequencies used for locating underground services, while any deviations from the manufacturer’s specification are identified. This ensures the receiver continues to provide dependable and repeatable results in the field.

Regular calibration of your C.A.T receiver helps maintain accurate underground service detection, supports safe excavation practices and provides confidence that the instrument is performing as intended. Routine calibration reduces the risk of missed or inaccurate detections, helping protect personnel, equipment and buried infrastructure across construction, civil engineering and utility maintenance projects.
