Radiodetection CAT4 & Genny4 Hire | Dual-Frequency Cable Avoidance Kit
The Radiodetection CAT4 and Genny4 hire package provides a highly refined digital platform for detecting buried utilities. The CAT4 locator utilizes an Avoidance Mode that allows operators to scan for Power, Radio, and Genny signals simultaneously, while the 'tidemark' bargraph ensures precise pinpointing of peak responses. This kit is engineered for speed and safety, significantly reducing the risk of utility strikes during excavation.
What are the key features of the CAT4 Avoidance Mode?
The CAT4 Avoidance Mode checks an intended excavation area for Power, Radio, and Genny signals in a single pass. This digital processing capability helps the operator quickly spot a peak response using the bargraph tidemark to zero-in on buried conductors.
How does the Genny4 dual-frequency signal improve utility detection?
The Genny4 provides a simultaneous dual-frequency output, including the standard 33kHz signal and a higher frequency specifically for small diameter cables like street lighting and telecoms. For difficult locates, the power boost function allows the signal to travel further and penetrate deeper into the ground.
Is this Radiodetection hire kit approved for railway infrastructure?
Yes, the CAT4 and Genny4 models are fully approved for use on the UK national rail infrastructure managed by Network Rail. The system holds the Acceptance Certificate No: PA05/05450, ensuring compliance with safety standards for rail-side utility location.
