Genny4 signals can be detected by all previous 33 kHz C.A.T models
including C.A.T
3
. C.A.T4 will also locate Genny
3
signals.
Genny4 provides a second locate signal alongside the 33kHz signal
which can be located by C.A.T4 to assist in locating smaller cables
and spurs. Previous C.A.T models are not designed to locate this
signal.
Using the Genny4
The Genny4 is used to actively apply a locate signal to pipes or
cables. This signal can be traced using the C.A.T4 locator in either
Avoidance Mode or Genny mode. Use of the Genny is strongly
recommended, as passive power or radio signals may not be present,
or detectable, on all pipes and cables.
SIGNAL BOOST MODE
The Signal Boost button will increase the output signal level to give
better signal on the pipe or cable, and may increase the useable
locate distance from the Genny4. In Signal Boost mode the Signal
Boost LED will light. The Signal Boost switch toggles between high
and normal output.
