- StrikeAlert warns of the presence of shallow cables *
- SWING Warning, 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 **
- Service Due indicator and CalSafe help preventing usage of the instruments beyond the calibration due date **
The eCert online service provides the convenience of being able to extend the validity of the Calibration period for another year without having to return the Product to a Service centre*
** gC.A.T4+ Only
* All models
Network Rail uses Radiodetection
The C.A.T4, C.A.T4+ and gC.A.T4+ models, the Genny4 Signal Generator, and their accessories are approved for use on the UK’s national rail infrastructure, managed by Network Rail.
C.A.T4, C.A.T4+, gC.A.T4 and Genny4 are accepted for use on Network Rail infrastructure within the defined scope of acceptance and any specific conditions in the certificate. They must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Drive best practice
C.A.T Manager™ Online and C.A.T Manager for PC provides a remote management system specifically designed for supervisors and safety officers, to enable them identify operators’ locating operations and drive best practice.
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.
The C.A.T Manager basic account is free to use and offers access to the last 3 months’ usage, with analysis and survey reporting. The Pro and Enterprise options have been designed in collaboration with major UK contractors to provide a range of features designed to enable teams and contracts management, more detailed survey reports and automatic alerts when poor practice is detected.
C.A.T Manager for PC utilises USB 2.0 connectivity to be able to retrieve and store locally gC.A.T4+ data logs. Data can be exported and uploaded to C.A.T Manager online for further analysis, storage and to share data across multiple sites.
Service and Calibration
CALSafe™
Minimise the risk of having to delay a survey because a C.A.T4’s calibration has expired. The gC.A.T4+ provides a 30 days countdown warning to the expiry of the calibration certificate. CALSafe can be set to prevent the unit from operating outside the calibration period, ensuring compliance with company policies – and the interval required between services can be customised within a 1 year period using the C.A.T Manager software.
C.A.T Manager for Windows PC allows plant, fleet and site managers to minimise down time by performing software upgrades, reproducing calibration certificates and performing online calibrations using eCert. eCert provides a fast and thorough test of key circuitry elements within C.A.T4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet
It also gives the ability to turn on or off C.A.T4 features such as StrikeAlert or Swing Warnings**.
**Model dependant
eCert™
eCert provides a fast and thorough test of key circuitry elements within C.A.T4, and validates their performance against the original factory calibration over the internet. eCert, activated through the C.A.T Manager PC software, provides a fast, thorough and convenient test of the key locating circuitry within C.A.T4, and validates its performance against the original factory calibration. Following an eCert test pass, a Radiodetection Calibration Certificate for that C.A.T4 can be printed or saved. What's more, C.A.T Manager can reproduce the original factory calibration certificate, or any eCert certificates that it has produced, on demand. For a complete maintenance package, Radiodetection also offers exhaustive factory-backed service and recalibration options including full mechanical integrity inspection and function testing.
Reverse Compatibility
C.A.T4 and Genny4 have been designed to be compatible with all C.A.T3 and Genny3 accessories
