Radiodetection gCAT4 GPS Cable Locator


Radiodetection gCAT4 GPS Cable Locator

Radiodetection has announced that they have extended their market leading CAT4 cable avoidance range to include fully integrated, automatic GPS and enhanced logging and data analysis capabilities.

Radiodetection gC.A.T4 incorporates an internal Global Navigation Satellite System receiver capable of acquiring multiple satellite systems to provide positional data which are logged every second into the locator’s internal memory.

Accurate Records
The enhanced logging capabilities of the RD gCAT4 allows accurate records to be kept and analysed, showing not only how an operator was working, but also where a C.A.T was being used.

No Operator Input
The new GPS feature needs no operator input to function. The Radiodetection gC.A.T4 locator starts acquiring a satellite lock when the trigger is first pressed, and once acquired maintains the fix for a set time even if the trigger is released, to be ready when next used.



Enhanced Data For Fleet Managers
The comprehensive data logging capabilities of the RD gC.A.T4 allow fleet managers to review one year or more of usage data which can then be used to assess individual locate operations in order to ensure compliance with best-practice, or to identify training needs.

By using the C.A.T Manager PC Software users can export CSV, XLS or KML files that can be quickly imported into map services like Google Earth.
