Radiodetection CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool
Radiodetection meticulously designed the CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool to aid excavation engineers. Essentially, this robust instrument works to identify and map out subterranean utilities such as electricity cables, data/telecoms cables, pipes, and potential obstruction including building structures that lie underground.
The potency of the CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool magnifies exponentially when paired with the Radiodetection Genny4 Signal Generator. This synergistic collaboration unlocks the ability to uncover and locate utilities that are usually unable to produce a substantial electromagnetic field (EMF) or radio signal for detection by the CAT4 on its own.
Additionally, the CAT4 can be personalised with an added ‘StrikeAlert’ feature. Upon selection from a drop-down list, ‘StrikeAlert’ amplifies user safety by visibly alerting against any utilities situated close to the earth’s surface. This greatly assists in preventing any unexpected and potentially dangerous ‘strikes’.
Advanced Features and Multiple Operation Modes of CAT4
Displaying flexibility and accuracy, the CAT4 offers four operational modes. Initially, in the avoidance mode, the tool simultaneously identifies genny, power, and radio signals. Secondly, the power mode is adopted for detecting the electromagnetic fields radiated by subterranean power cables. Thirdly, the radio mode is apt for detecting long-range radio signals running along hidden pipes and cables. The genny mode on the CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool exclusively detects signals from the Radiodetection Genny4 Signal Generator.
A remarkable feature of the CAT4 is its ‘Dynamic Overload Protection’. This function proficiently filters out electrical noise, which often originates from power substations or surface-mounted high voltage cables. Such interference could jeopardise the accurate detection of buried utilities. Countering this issue, the CAT4 exhibits signal strength on a high-contrast, backlit LCD screen. Enhanced with a ‘tidemark’ bar graph, this screen enables quick and precise identification of obscure utilities.
Sophisticatedly crafted and user-friendly, the Radiodetection CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool positions itself as the trusted partner of prudent excavation.
