Refurbished Radiodetection CAT4 Cable Avoidance Tool | EN09/29

For buyers who need the CAT4's core locating functions and want to make their equipment budget go further, this refurbished offer is a useful alternative to buying new. You receive the CAT4 locator with a 12-month warranty and 12-month calibration, with optional Genny and bag choices in the purchase panel.

Core CAT4 capability, with a clear refurbished offer

The standard CAT4 provides Power, Radio, Genny and combined Avoidance modes. Its signal display and audible response help a trained operator trace a detectable service. Refurbished condition does not turn a standard CAT4 into a depth or data-logging model: choose the model by the functions you need, then compare condition and price.

Core locating without StrikeAlert

This refurbished CAT4 EN09/29 offer provides Power, Radio, Genny and Avoidance locating without StrikeAlert. It does not provide depth estimation, GPS usage logging, SWING warning or CALSafe. Choose it for the core locating workflow at a lower purchase cost.

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?

The CAT4 is suitable when your priority is tracing the route of a detectable service. For a depth estimate, compare the refurbished CAT4+. For usage records with location information, compare the refurbished gCAT4+. None of these features confirms that an excavation is clear.

• CAT4+: locating with estimated depth
• gCAT4+: estimated depth plus usage and location records

Refurbished reassurance without a new-stock premium

The 12-month warranty provides purchase reassurance, while the 12-month calibration supports the equipment’s calibration status. These are separate included benefits. This EN09/29 offer does not include StrikeAlert. New CAT4 stock with StrikeAlert is an alternative for buyers who need that feature or require 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 the CAT4 show depth?

No. Choose a CAT4+ for estimated depth, or a gCAT4+ for estimated depth together with usage logging and GPS/GNSS records.

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?

Compare the refurbished CAT4 and Genny4 kit. Check its base contents and optional extras before ordering; the refurbished kits offer a bag separately.
