Radiodetection gC.A.T4+ and Genny4 Cable Avoidance Tool with Data Logging and GPS
SKU code: gC.A.T4Kit
Secure Payment Methods
The C.A.T4+ series is designed to find buried utilities faster with the C.A.T4 Avoidance Mode letting the user check an intended excavation area for Power, Radio and Genny signals, finding located utilities in a single scan.
The RD gC.A.T4+ is equipped with its own memory to store over a year's worth of key measurements and operation modes. The GPS receiver provides positional data logging every second to show where the operator was working and this information can then be exported in CSV, XLS or KML file types and used with map services such as Google Earth.
The SWING Warning included with the Radiodetection gC.A.T4+ warns the operator of incorrect usage, reducing the risk of cable strikes and storing this information in the data log.
Pair this C.A.T with the Genny4 to boost the signal and further enhance cable location to work over more distance and depth.
A comprehensive range of data can be logged, including:
- Mode of Use
- Genny/Power/Radio Signal Strengths
- Date and Time of Survey
- StrikeAlert and SWING Warning Statuses
- Speed Over Ground
- Location of Survey (Latitude/Longitude)
- Bargraph Readout
- Sensitivity Control Setting
- Depth Measurements Made
- Battery Status
- Last/Next Calibration Date
- Dynamic Overload Protection/Signal Overload Status
- Angle of Use
- Number of Satellites Received
- Audio Status
