Optional Accessories - Radiodetection C.A.T4 Guide De L'utilisateur

eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 models
Warns that a C.A.T is being used too far from the vertical or
moved too quickly for reliable cable or pipe location.
On startup, warns that the C.A.T is due for service in less
than 30 days, followed by number of days until service is due.
If C.A.T is CALSafe enabled, the unit is past its calibration
™
due date. Return for immediate service.
All eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 models will log warnings when displayed.
Deactivating warnings
If required, for example if it is necessary to locate at an angle, the
StrikeAlert and SWING warnings can be temporarily disabled by
pressing and holding the depth button for the duration of the battery test
bleep at switch on. eC.A.T4 and gC.A.T4 models will log this action.

MOUS E S IG NAL TRAN S M ITTE R – FOR NON M ETALLIC
UTI LITI E S
The Mouse is a small self-
contained watertight signal
transmitter ("Sonde") which
can be located by the C.A.T4
in Genny mode or Avoidance
Mode.
Unscrew the housing
and insert batteries in the
orientation shown by the
diagram in the battery
compartment.
To check for correct
operation, place the Mouse on the ground, set the C.A.T4 to
Genny mode and, whilst holding the C.A.T4 in line with the Mouse,
check that the signal is being received.
Insert the Mouse into the duct or drain and adjust the C.A.T4
sensitivity to receive the signal.

Smaller ghost signals appear
before and behind the main signal
position. Locate all three peaks to
be sure the largest middle one is
identified as the Mouse position.
Rotating the C.A.T4 about its axis
to obtain the largest signal puts
the C.A.T4 in line with the Mouse
and is a good way of identifying
the direction of the duct or pipe.
Estimating Mouse depth using the C.A.T4+/eC.A.T4+/
gC.A.T4+
Do not use the C.A.T4+, eC.A.T4+ or gC.A.T4+ depth
estimation to decide if mechanical digging is appropriate.
Depth estimations are only possible when using the C.A.T4+,
eC.A.T4+ or gC.A.T4+ in Genny mode.
Locate the main Mouse signal as previously described. Hold the
C.A.T4 vertical and in line with the Mouse. Press and hold the depth
M
button until ' ' appears on the display and then release. The depth
estimation will be displayed.
NOTE: If the StrikeAlert feature is enabled the alarm will
activate at approximately 1.2m when locating a mouse. If this is
inconvenient, the StrikeAlert feature can be disabled in the Genny
mode by pressing and holding the depth button for the duration
of the battery test bleep at switch on.
FLE X ITRACE ™ – TO LOCATE N ON-M ETALLI C UTI LITI E S
FlexiTrace is a 50m (164') or 80m (260') flexible conductive rod with a
built-in mouse that can be inserted into non-metallic pipes and ducts
to allow them to be located at depths of up to 3m (10') FlexiTrace
can be inserted into a pipe or duct as small as 12mm (½") internal
diameter, and with bends as tight as 250mm.
To use as a mouse, connect both transmitter
leads to the FlexiTrace lugs. In this mode,
only the tip of the FlexiTrace will be locatable.
To trace the whole length, connect the red
transmitter lead to a FlexiTrace terminal and
ground the black lead, either to the earth stake
or to an appropriate earthing point.
