The addition of a 'bargraph watermark' facilitates rapid and precise peak response identification, enabling you to focus on buried conductors effortlessly.

Advanced Features: Data, SWING, StrikeAlert, and CALSafe

The gCAT4+ GPS is not just a utility locator; it's a comprehensive solution for utility management. It comes with Data logging capabilities for detailed record-keeping, SWING Rate monitoring to encourage safer work habits, StrikeAlert to provide immediate warnings of shallow buried utilities, and CALSafe to ensure the device aligns with organizational calibration policies.

Possible Business Use Cases

• Medium/Large Civil Engineering Contractors: For large-scale infrastructure projects requiring precise utility location.
• Building Contractors: To ensure safety and compliance during the construction phase.
• Utility Contractors: For specialized utility detection and mapping.
• National Companies with Multiple Outlets and/or Engineers: To standardize utility detection methods across various locations.

gCAT4+ GPS StrikeAlert Application Scenario

Optional Accessories

While the gCAT4+ GPS is a dynamo by itself, its capabilities are substantially extended with separately available accessories. These accessories enhance the gCAT4+ GPS's features by offering additional functionalities, such as dual-frequency locate signals and power boost functions for challenging terrains.

Built-In Safety Protocols: StrikeAlert™

Radiodetection’s proprietary StrikeAlert™ warning mechanism offers an additional safety layer by delivering immediate warnings of shallow buried utilities. The gCAT4+ GPS is also designed to encourage safer and more effective work practices through its SWING™ Rate detector and Service Due date alerts.

C.A.T Manager Software Integration

gCAT4+ GPS devices are complemented by the specialized Locator Management Software suite for Windows® PCs. This software empowers facility, fleet, and project managers to minimize operational disruptions by executing software updates, initiating service requests, or generating calibration certificates. To tailor the device to specific needs or applications, the software allows for the customization of gCAT4+ GPS functionalities, such as depth prediction and alert settings. Editable fields within the software permit the storage of fleet or facility codes and additional data directly on the device, streamlining record-keeping and traceability.

Service Due Indicator and CALSafe™

Mitigate the risk of postponing a survey due to an expired calibration on a gCAT4+ GPS device. The optional CALSafe feature can be configured to restrict the device's operation beyond the calibration expiration date, thereby aligning with organizational policies. Additionally, the time span between required maintenance services can be individually adjusted up to a one-year period through the Locator Management Software.

Network Rail Approval

The gCAT4+ GPS, along with their accessories, has received Network Rail certification, making them suitable for use on the UK's national rail infrastructure.

Backward Compatibility

Consistent with Radiodetection’s commitment to enduring utility, the gCAT4+ GPS maintains backward compatibility with all C.A.T3 and Genny3 accessories, offering you more flexibility and investment safeguarding.

Enhance Safety While Excavating

The proprietary StrikeAlert™ technology from Radiodetection has been refined to minimize the occurrence of shallow cable strikes. The gCAT4+ GPS device encourages users to adopt safer and more efficient work habits through its optional SWING™ Rate monitoring feature and reminders for upcoming service dates.
