Radiodetection Genny Clamp 5" (130mm) | Signal Induction | Live Cable Detection

The Radiodetection Genny Clamp 5" (130mm) is a critical accessory for utility professionals, designed to apply a signal from a Genny transmitter to a target line safely. This method of signal application is particularly beneficial when a direct galvanic connection is not feasible or when working with live power cables that must remain energized during the survey process.

How does the Genny Clamp 130mm improve utility locating?

By utilizing the 130mm (5-inch) diameter, the clamp enables the induction of a Genny signal onto pipes and cables that are otherwise inaccessible for direct connection. This allows for precise tracking and depth estimation when paired with a compatible locator, ensuring safe excavation and utility mapping.

When should you use a 5-inch signal clamp instead of direct connection?

This clamp is the ideal solution when you cannot access the conductor directly or when safety protocols prevent a physical connection to a live cable. It provides a non-invasive way to energize a line with a traceable frequency without interrupting the service of the utility.

Is the Radiodetection 130mm clamp compatible with live cables?

Yes, the clamp is specifically engineered to safely apply a signal to live cables that cannot be de-energized. Its insulated design allows the operator to wrap the clamp around the target utility to induce a signal through the magnetic field, providing a reliable trace for the locator.
