Radiodetection EN31 CAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool

Radiodetection EN31 CAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool w/Depth Estimation

The Radiodetection EN31 CAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool represents the pinnacle of safety and efficiency for locating underground utilities. This advanced tool is specifically engineered to locate a variety of buried utilities including telecoms, street lighting, and CAT V cable. With the EN31 CAT4+, users can excavate more confidently, significantly reducing the risk of damaging hidden utilities.

Revolutionary Features for Precision Locating

Equipped with state-of-the-art depth estimation capabilities, the CAT4+ sets a new standard in utility detection. The depth of buried utilities can be precisely estimated using either the Genny signal or Sonde, with the touch of a button displaying the depth on its high-contrast, illuminated LCD screen. Additionally, the StrikeAlert feature minimises the risk of cable strikes, enhancing site safety. Designed for one-handed operation, its user-friendly interface includes an on/off trigger, mode selection, and sensitivity dial, all within easy reach.

The device is not only simple to operate but also adaptable to various environments. Its detachable loudspeaker caters to noisy sites, while an automatic backlight ensures visibility in all conditions. The innovative bar graph tide mark feature enables operators to swiftly pinpoint the exact location of small diameter cables.

RadioDection CAT4+ operating modes

• C.A.T4 Avoidance mode: Simultaneously search for and pinpoint Genny, Power and Radio signals for rapid surveying.
• Genny mode: Detects the signals transmitted by Genny4 (available separately)
• Power mode: Detects the electromagnetic fields generated by loaded power cables.
• Radio mode: Detects long-range radio signals as they travel along buried cables and pipes.

Dynamic Overload Protection (DOP)

What is DOP and why is it useful?

For locating cables in areas prone to high electrical interference, such as near sub stations and under power cables, the CAT4+ uses DOP to filter out unwanted noise. This allows the user to successfully locate the cable they require almost anywhere.

Using the CAT4+ with Genny4

Using the CAT4+ in conjunction with the Genny4 (sold desperately) makes locating smaller cables, such a telecoms, easier. The Genny 4 emits dual frequencies; 33kHz for general utilities and a Small Diameter Locate frequency for smaller cables. Watch the video below to see how a CAT and Genny can be used to locate street light cabling.
