Reverse Compatibility
C.A.T4 and Genny4 have been designed to be compatible with all C.A.T3 and Genny3 accessories.
C.A.T4® and Genny4® products provide a comprehensive range of Cable Avoidance Tools helping professionals to drive best locating practice, reduce the number of cable strikes, and dig more safely.
The C.A.T4 is the standard model of the range. Using it with the Genny4 transmitter, experienced operators will be able to find more buried utilities, faster.

Dig More SafelyAs safety critical tools, C.A.T4® and Genny4® include features designed to support safe working and reduce utility strike risk. StrikeAlert® warns of shallow buried utilities, SWING™ alerts operators to incorrect usage patterns, and Dynamic Overload Protection™ filters high levels of interference in electrically noisy areas. |
Detect More, Detect FasterThe Radiodetection C.A.T and Genny range is designed to locate buried pipes and cables before excavation, helping operators work safely while reducing risk and cost. Clear displays, simple mode controls and dependable sensitivity make the system easy to use in the field. |
Small Cable LocatingSimultaneous dual frequency and intuitive locating methods help C.A.T4 and Genny4 users locate small diameter cables such as telecom twisted pairs, CATV feeds, spurs and drop-offs, which are often difficult to detect and can present a common strike risk. |
Avoidance Mode™Avoidance Mode speeds up pre-dig scanning by searching for Power, Radio and Genny signals simultaneously. It helps operators rapidly pinpoint buried utilities and trace them across an area while maintaining safe locating practice. |
Genny4 Signal BoostAlongside its standard power mode, Genny4 provides a Signal Boost feature that increases output signal by up to a factor of 10, helping operators locate utilities deeper and over greater distances. |
Dynamic Overload ProtectionRadiodetection’s unique digital signal processing capabilities equips the C.A.T4 with the ability to reject electrical interference. Dynamic Overload Protection gives C.A.T4 series products the ability to continue operating in electrically challenging areas, such as near substations and under power cables, where other locators’ detection circuitry may be overloaded and no longer function. |

There are three C.A.T4 models to chose from, for customers whose prime reason for using a cable avoidance tool is to avoid any utilities, then the C.A.T4 and C.A.T4+ are a perfect solution. For customers who wish to survey and report what they find and trace, the gC.A.T4+ model features usage monitoring and GPS, logging key locate parameters every second to aid in identifying training needs, compliance and recording workflow patterns, providing data on not only when and how, but also where the gC.A.T4+ was being used. Using a gC.A.T4+ with C.A.T Manager® Online, Radiodetection’s asset tracking and workflow management system, enables Managers to produce reports indicating when where and how all their C.A.T4s are being used, enabling consistent improvement programs to be introduced, reducing bad practice, improving safety by reducing cable strikes and costs of excavation programs.
