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
button until ‘
M
’ appears on the display and then release. The depth
estimation will be displayed.
NOTE: If the Strike
Alert
feature is enabled the alarm will
activate at approximately 1.2m when locating a mouse. If this is
inconvenient, the Strike
Alert
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.

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.

Do not use the supplied Direct Connect
leads to connect to live cables. Use the
Radiodetection Genny Live Plug Connector
or Live Cable Connector. Failure to do so
may result in injury or equipment damage.
Connection to live power cables
should only be undertaken by
qualified personnel.
The Live Plug Connector applies the Genny signal to a live domestic
power socket and, via the domestic wiring system, to the service and
supply cable in the street.
Connect the Live Cable Connector to the Genny4 accessory socket
and the mains power socket, then switch the Genny4 and the power
socket on.
NOTE: The Live Plug Connector provides protection to 250V AC.
Service and Maintenance
The C.A.T4 and Genny4 are designed to require minimal
recalibration. However, as with all safety equipment, it is
recommended that they are serviced and have their calibration
validated at least once a year using Radiodetection approved test
equipment. Radiodetection accepts no responsibility for service,
calibration or repairs carried out by non-authorised persons.
To check when the C.A.T4 is next due to be calibrated, squeeze
the trigger, then press the depth button until ‘C’ (Configuration)
is displayed. The display will now automatically step through the
following information: ‘S’ (software version), ‘F’ (firmware version),
‘D’ (day), ‘M’ (month) and ‘Y’ (year).
ECE rT
All C.A.T4 models feature eCert, which provides a thorough test of
the C.A.T4 locating circuitry, and supplies a Radiodetection
Calibration Certificate when a positive test result is obtained.
NOTE: eCert does not perform a complete functional check or
check the mechanical integrity of the unit under test including
the operation of the controls and LCD screen.
