Radiodetection gCAT4+ | Cable Avoidance Tool Hire | GPS & Depth
The Radiodetection gCAT4+ is a sophisticated digital platform designed to improve locate accuracy and operator safety. Equipped with integrated GPS and comprehensive datalogging, it provides site managers with detailed records of where and how the equipment is used. The system utilizes Avoidance Modeâ„¢ to scan for Power, Radio, and Genny signals in a single pass, supported by a bargraph tidemark to identify peak responses of buried conductors.
How does the gCAT4+ improve site safety during excavation?
The gCAT4+ features an Avoidance Modeâ„¢ that allows operators to detect Power, Radio, and Genny signals simultaneously, ensuring a thorough check of the intended excavation area. The bargraph tidemark functionality enables the operator to quickly pinpoint peak responses, reducing the risk of utility strikes.
What are the benefits of the integrated GPS and datalogging?
The internal GPS system logs geographical coordinates for every scan, while the datalogging feature stores usage information to facilitate safety audits and monitor site compliance. This data is essential for verifying that all required utility checks were completed at the correct locations.
Is the gCAT4+ approved for rail infrastructure projects?
Yes, the gCAT4+ and associated Genny4 signal generator are fully approved for use on UK national rail infrastructure. It carries Network Rail Acceptance Certificate No: PA05/05450, meeting the rigorous standards required for working on rail-managed assets.
