SIGNAL GENERATOR UNIT

Used with the Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) to send out a diverse selection of signals to accurately determine underground utility location and provide the user with a safe map in order to dig safely and without damage to gas pipes, water pipes, fibre optic cabling, network cabling and other utilities.

The signal output is sent out through the ground underfoot, bounces off utilities and returns up out of the ground into the CAT. Signal Generators are essential for use in areas with utilities that don’t generate signals naturally such as piping, as these may go unnoticed when just using a CAT alone.

Uses a normal 33kHz signal as standard for general purpose location work. A Small Diameter Locate frequency can also be generated to find utilities such as telecoms and street lighting (including spurs) while a Signal Boost function can be used to delve deeper into the ground and locate utilities over further distances. The Signal Boost function includes the ability to gradually increase the signal generated up to a factor of ten and makes the uses of this Genny countless. All signals are high class, simultaneous dual-frequency and ensure that accurate readings are always taken.
