Radiodetection CAT4 | Cable Avoidance Tool Hire | Network Rail Approved
The Radiodetection C.A.T4 digital platform provides advanced locate capabilities to improve operator speed and accuracy when identifying buried utilities. This tool integrates Avoidance Modeâ„¢ for multi-signal scanning and is fully approved for use on national rail infrastructure under Network Rail Acceptance Certificate No: PA05/05450. Note that a hire account and deposit are required for all rentals.
What signals can the Radiodetection CAT4 detect?
The CAT4 is designed to locate Power, Radio, and Genny signals concurrently when using Avoidance Mode. This allows for the pinpointing of multiple buried conductors in a single, efficient scan without switching modes.
Is the CAT4 suitable for railway infrastructure projects?
Yes, this model is fully approved for use on the UK’s national rail network managed by Network Rail. It holds Acceptance Certificate PA05/05450, ensuring compliance with strict safety and performance standards for trackside environments.
How does the CAT4 handle small diameter cables?
When paired with the Genny4, the system utilizes dual-frequency signal output to detect small diameter conductors like telecoms and street lighting. It specifically uses a second higher frequency alongside the standard 33kHz signal to find spurs and complex utility layouts.
