Radiodetection CAT4+ Strike Alert

Radion Detection CAT4+ Strike Alert

The Radiodetection CAT4+ with Strike Alert™ is a cutting-edge Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) designed to accurately detect buried utilities while significantly reducing the risk of accidental strikes. Trusted by professionals in construction, utilities, and groundworks, the CAT4+ enhances safety, efficiency, and precision in locating underground services. With integrated Strike Alert™ technology, the CAT4+ warns of shallow buried utilities—helping to prevent costly and dangerous incidents before excavation begins.

Specifications

Key Features

Strike Alert™ Technology

Provides an early visual and audio warning when detecting shallow cables or pipes, helping to reduce the risk of damaging buried utilities during excavation

Dynamic Overload Protection

Minimizes interference from high levels of electrical noise, such as those found near substations or power lines, allowing for accurate detection in challenging environments

Depth Estimation (when used with Genny4)

Offers utility depth readings when paired with a Genny4 signal generator, improving planning and excavation safety

##Four Detection Modes

Power Mode

Locates power signals from live electricity cables

Radio Mode

Detects re-radiated radio signals from metallic services

Genny Mode

Detects signals transmitted by a Genny unit (recommended for active utility tracing)

Avoidance Mode

Scans all modes simultaneously for fast, comprehensive utility checks before excavation

Automatic Pinpointing

No need for manual sensitivity adjustment—just locate and pinpoint with greater speed and accuracy

Robust and Ergonomic Design

Built to withstand the demands of harsh job sites, with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance

Data Logging (CAT4+ only)

Automatically records key metrics such as usage time, mode, and strike alerts for auditing, training, and compliance purposes

Fast Start-Up

Quick boot-up time allows operators to begin scanning almost instantly, reducing delays on-site

Lightweight and Portable

Weighing just a few kilograms, it’s easy to transport and operate in the field
