Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool

Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool

The Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool delivers precision and reliability for locating underground utilities. Designed for excavation professionals, it provides depth estimation when used with the optional Genny4 signal generator, enhancing safety and accuracy during digs. This device offers a robust solution for detecting cables and pipes that generate or don’t generate signals, ensuring comprehensive utility detection on-site.

Advanced Detection and Connectivity

Equipped with Avoidance Mode, the Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ scans for Power, Radio, and Genny signals simultaneously, simplifying utility detection. Integrated GPS logs location data alongside survey details, ensuring complete work history is stored. Bluetooth connectivity allows the gCAT4+ to link directly to the CAT Manager app, enabling real-time data uploads and cloud-based access without interrupting workflow.

Safety Features and Usage Insights

The Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ is built for safety and best practices. StrikeAlert warns of shallow buried utilities to prevent accidents, while the SWING feature promotes correct tool handling by detecting improper use. Dynamic Overload Protection filters out electrical interference, ensuring accurate readings even near substations or high-voltage cables.

The data acquisition system stores over a year’s worth of survey data. It records key information such as location, signal strengths, and tool settings, providing valuable insights into usage habits. With the free CAT Manager Basic account, users can access and analyse survey data for up to three months, with options to upgrade for extended features.

Built for tough environments, the Radiodetection EN03 gCAT4+ features an IP54-rated casing, making it suitable for all-weather operation. Its high-contrast display and intuitive controls allow easy use on-site, ensuring operators can work efficiently and safely in demanding conditions.

The gCAT4+ also includes a number of other helpful features

• Service due indicator: 31-day service due countdown warning on start-up
• CALSafe: Enabled units can be set to automatically deactivate on expiry of the defined calibration interval, to help ensure compliance with individual company policies.
• Internal GPS/GNSS: Automatically log the postion of the CAT alongside key locate parameters each second to prove work history and analyse working practices
• Data acquisition: C.A.T 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.

gCAT4+ operating modes

• 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) with on demand estimation of the depth of burried cables
• 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.
• StrikeAlert warning: Warns of shallow buried utilities
• SWING warning: Warns operators of incorrect usage to promote best working practices
