Calibration
& Service of CAT & Genny Pipe & Cable Locators
• Cable avoidance and detection tools use signals to scan the ground for underground pipes or cables.
• Cable locators or ground penetrating radars are used to pinpoint the location of utilities underground.
• CATs, also known as Utility Locators, Cable Locators, or Gennies, detect magnetic power fields, buried loaded power cables, and VLF radio signals.
• Calibration services are available for leading brands like SPX Radiodetection CAT2, CAT3 & CAT 4, Cscope cable avoidance testers, Ezicat, Ezitrace, Amprobe CATs, and others.
• Full diagnostics on CAT and Genny are performed, and equipment can be fully repaired and restored with your approval.
• Calibration houses offer lightning-fast service, competitive prices, and an expanding fleet of equipment.
Cable and Pipe Location
• Electromagnetic induction has been used since the early 19th century to find underground cables.
• Today, pipe locators and electromagnetic cables are accurate, dependable, and portable.
• Understanding the fundamentals of electromagnetic detection can increase user confidence in cable and pipe location.
• Digging holes in the ground is essential for construction and maintenance of buried utilities.
• Damage to underground utilities is dangerous, costly, and can negatively impact a company's reputation.
• Excavation safety is a fundamental skill for utility companies, contractors, and the construction industry.
Exploration Damage Causes and Solutions
• Damage can occur due to lack of detection tools, inferior tools, insufficient or ununderstood working practices, and inaccurate on-the-job behaviors.
• Detection tools are crucial for excavation, with two approaches: avoidance and precision locate. Radiodetection's C.A.T and Genny tools are simple but powerful tools for avoidance and the 8100 locator series for precision location.
• The best available technology is used to detect buried services, with modern features like high accuracy, sensitivity, protection against interference, selectable signals, and warnings for incorrect use patterns.
• Good working practices and training are essential for safe excavation and underground location, with training available in various forms, including vendor-delivered, in-house, or externally provided.
• On-site behaviours need to be changed if tools are used correctly and procedures are followed. Radiodetection's locators record key locator parameters and store logs in on-board memory.
• The data logged can be used to check if locators were used correctly and assess compliance to procedure.
• Radiodetection is rolling out C.A.T Manager Online, an online logging and analysis product, to help customers monitor their teams' use of locators and address any weaknesses.
