Refurbished Radiodetection gCAT4+ | GPS, Logging & Depth

This refurbished gCAT4+ is for buyers who want usage records as well as cable avoidance and estimated depth, while keeping the initial equipment spend lower. The offer includes a 12-month warranty and 12-month calibration, with optional Genny and bag selections available separately.

A useful record of locating activity

The gCAT4+ records instrument usage and adds GPS/GNSS positions where reception is available. Those records support review of working practices; they are not a guarantee of a complete survey or survey-grade coordinates for a buried utility. Use C.A.T Manager for PC to review the recorded data.

Review and manage your locating records

Use C.A.T Manager for PC to review the gCAT4+ usage records through its USB connection. The logs support operator and fleet review, while GPS shows where the instrument was used. These records do not replace a utility survey or safe excavation procedure.

Build the right locating kit

A new Genny4 signal generator or refurbished Genny4 lets you apply a traceable signal to a suitable service, rather than relying only on signals already present. It is optional with this standalone locator. Choose the connection method and accessories for the job, following the manufacturer instructions.

When clamp application is appropriate, a 100 mm Genny clamp connects to the transmitter, not directly to the CAT receiver. A used 100 mm clamp is another buying option. Check connector compatibility, service diameter and condition; clamp operation is not required for every direct connection.

For a non-metallic pipe or duct, a compatible 33 kHz S18A sonde or Standard 33 kHz sonde provides a locatable point. To push a suitable sonde through the route, compare 9 mm × 60 m Flexrod and 9 mm × 120 m Flexrod, checking the coupling and pipe clearance.

To trace an energised rod route instead, compare FlexiTrace 50 m and FlexiTrace 80 m. FlexiTrace needs a suitable transmitter connection; a plain Flexrod does not create that line-tracing signal.

For transport, choose the CAT4/CAT3 soft carry bag for the handheld instrument or compare the CAT-and-Genny soft bag for a combined kit. Arrange ongoing CAT and Genny servicing and calibration separately from the purchase warranty.

Which CAT4 model fits your work?

Choose gCAT4+ when usage and location records matter to the team. Choose the refurbished CAT4+ if you need estimated depth without those records, or CAT4 for route tracing without a depth readout. A current calibration and a logging function serve different purposes.

• CAT4: locating without a depth readout
• CAT4+: locating with estimated depth

Refurbished value with documented reassurance

The 12-month warranty and 12-month calibration are included in this refurbished offer. It provides the core gCAT4+ locating and record-keeping benefits at a lower initial cost than new. New gCAT4+ stock remains an option for new-only procurement policies or buyers who prefer unused equipment.

Before you order

Is a Genny included?

No Genny is included in the base standalone-locator offer shown here. Select it in the existing options panel if required; check the chosen option’s contents.

Does it measure depth?

It estimates depth in Genny mode when the signal and operating conditions permit. Follow the line or sonde method in the operating instructions. A depth reading is not clearance to excavate.

Can it locate a plastic pipe on its own?

Not the unenergised plastic material itself. A suitable sonde or traceable rod system provides a signal that the locator can detect, subject to the application and operating conditions.

Does a quiet reading mean the area is clear?

No. Some services do not carry a detectable signal, and one response can mask another. Use the complete survey and safe excavation procedure required for your site, with the manufacturer operating instructions.

Check the technical details in More Information, and read the manufacturer operating instructions (V9) before use.

Prefer a complete CAT and Genny kit?
