Compliance with BS EN61010-1, EN55011, and EN61326 assures adherence to industry standards.

FAQs of Cable Avoidance Tool:

Q: How does the CAT4+ Cable Avoidance Tool detect buried utilities?

A: The CAT4+ uses electromagnetic technology with selectable detection modes (power, radio, generator, all scan). It identifies all metallic buried utilities by measuring signals at standard frequencies, including 33 kHz and others. Sensitivity can be adjusted for accuracy, and a bar graph and numeric LCD display provide real-time feedback.

Q: What are the main benefits of using the CAT4+ for cable detection?

A: The CAT4+ enhances safety by giving audio, visual, and vibration alerts for shallow cables or overloads, preventing accidental strikes. Its robust design, high ingress protection (IP54), and compliance with international standards mean it performs reliably in diverse site environments. Data logging and firmware upgradeability ensure long-term utility and record-keeping.

Q: When should I use the adjustable sensitivity function?

A: Adjust the sensitivity when you need to locate cables at varying depths or in environments with background noise. Lower sensitivity helps filter out interference, whereas higher sensitivity is suitable for detecting deeper or weaker signals, enabling precise location based on site conditions.

Q: Where can the CAT4+ be effectively used?

A: This tool is ideal for construction sites, utilities maintenance, and anywhere you need to detect metallic pipes and cables underground. Its IP54 rating and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in challenging conditions.

Q: What process does the CAT4+ follow for daily self-tests?

A: The CAT4+ is equipped with a built-in automatic daily self-test that runs when the device is powered on. This ensures all electronic circuits and sensors are working correctly, providing you with confidence that the tool is operational before each use.

Q: How is data logged and retrieved on models with logging feature?

A: On logging-enabled models, survey and detection data are automatically stored during operation. Data can be retrieved via the devices data port and downloaded to compatible data management software for analysis, compliance, and record-keeping purposes.

Q: What type of batteries does the CAT4+ require and how long do they last?

A: The device operates on six AA batteries (either alkaline or NiMH rechargeable). With alkaline batteries, you can expect a battery backup of approximately 40 hours, making it well-suited for extended fieldwork without frequent replacements.
