Radiodetection gCAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool with GPS Location and Data Logging, Depth Estimation, CALSafe, SWING, and StrikeAlert


The gC.A.T4+ model adds GPS position to the usage data recorded. Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless transfer of usage data to the C.A.T Manager Online cloud based system for near real-time monitoring of operators’ performance.

The controls on the gCAT4+ are simple and easy to operate. The high visibility display screen is also uncluttered and simple to read and the bargraph enables the operator to quickly spot a peak response and zero in on a buried conductor.

The C.A.T4 can be used effectively in 4 modes; avoidance mode, genny mode, power mode and radio mode:

  • Avoidance mode - simultaneous detection of genny, power and radio signals
  • Power mode – used for detecting electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that surround buried power cables
  • Radio mode – used for detecting long-range radio signals travelling along buried pipes and cables
  • Genny mode – used for solely detecting signals generated by the Radiodetection Genny4 Signal Generator

  • SWING warning motion sensor warns the user of incorrect tracing techniques
  • Built in Data logging and GPS/GNSS receiver enables usage and location analysis and reporting
  • Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to Android and iOS devices.
  • CALSafe and service indication features, automatic lock-out when calibration expires
  • C.A.T Manager Online works with gC.A.T4+ models to provide near-real time monitoring capabilities and cloud based data storage and analysis. At the end of each scan the C.A.T Manager automatically transmit the comprehensive 1xsec usage data to the cloud system.
  • Depth function: When used in ‘genny mode’ (which requires use of the Genny4), the instrument will display a depth indication to a located utility service
  • Dynamic Overvoltage Protection function: enables the locator to operate in electrically noisy areas
  • Strike Alert function: displays the location of services that are buried at a shallow depth, which could potentially cause a ‘strike’ risk if left undetected
