Radiodetection gC.A.T4+ Pipe and Cable Locator with GPS – Underground Utility Locator with Avoidance Mode, Power/Radio/Genny Detection, GPS Data Logging, Bluetooth, IP54 Rated - FULL KIT

Unmarked underground utilities present a significant challenge during excavation projects. The Radiodetection gC.A.T4+ Pipe and Cable Locator with GPS is designed to assist operators in locating buried utilities before digging, helping support safer excavation workflows and improved oversight of locating activities. The gC.A.T4+ offers Power, Radio, and Genny (Active) locating modes, along with Avoidance Mode, enabling operators to perform a sweep that scans for multiple detection signals simultaneously. This model adds usage data recording with GPS positioning (typically accurate to approximately 3.2 ft / 1 m) and time-stamped activity logs. The built-in memory stores up to two years of locate data, which can be transferred via Bluetooth to Radiodetection’s Locate Performance Management (LPM) cloud-based system. This system helps provide near real-time visibility into equipment usage and can assist managers in identifying potential training opportunities or usage patterns across their locating fleet. The gC.A.T4+ also includes SWING warnings, which help alert operators when the device may not be handled correctly during a survey. When used with the included Genny4 signal generator, the system enables simultaneous dual-frequency detection, which can be particularly beneficial when locating high-impedance utilities such as tracer wires, irrigation networks, or small-diameter cables. For detecting non-conductive utilities such as plastic pipes or ducts, the locator can be used with a 33 kHz sonde or FlexiTrace system. Designed for everyday field use, the unit features a lightweight 5 lb. design, durable ABS housing, and IP54 / NEMA 3S environmental protection to help support operation in a wide range of jobsite conditions. Detection capability may vary depending on soil conditions, installation methods, utility type, signal strength, and operator technique. Always follow local safe excavation practices and verify utility locations before digging. *Use of a mobile phone and an active data connection is required*

• HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF UTILITY DAMAGE Unmarked or incorrectly marked utilities are a leading cause of damage to buried infrastructure. The Radiodetection gC.A.T4+ pipe and cable locator is designed to support buried utility detection and can help support utility strike prevention efforts as part of safe excavation practices such as 811 digging safety procedures.
• SIMPLE, EASY-TO-USE OPERATION Designed for straightforward field use, the gC.A.T4+ underground utility locator features simple one-handed controls with clear visual and audio feedback to help operators more easily locate and estimate the depth of buried utilities. Dynamic Overload Protection helps enable operation in electrically noisy environments.
• GPS DATA LOGGING AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING This locator's built-in memory records two years of data, including GPS locations, and Radiodetection’s Locate Performance Management System lets you monitor kit usage online. Use this information to improve your excavation locate operations and ensure they meet your standards.
• EXPAND UTILITY DETECTION WITH GENNY4 This kit includes the Genny4 signal generator, which produces a patented dual-frequency signal that can help support the detection of smaller diameter cables such as tracer wires, telecom lines, and street lighting circuits. For detecting plastic pipes or ducts, simply use it with a 33kHz sonde or a FlexiTrace.
• AVOIDANCE MODE FOR QUICK SITE SWEEPS Avoidance Mode allows operators to sweep simultaneously for Power, Radio, and Genny signals, helping support efficient utility surveys prior to excavation.
• BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE: Weighing just 5 lbs., with a high-impact resistant ABS casing, this device provides IP54 NEMA3S protection for a wide range of weather conditions.
