Radiodetection Locators
CAT and Genny
The latest range of Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and Signal Generator (Genny), pioneered by Radiodetection.
C.A.T4® and Genny4® products provide a comprehensive range of Cable Avoidance Tools helping professionals to drive best locating practice, to reduce the number of cable strikes, and to dig more safely.
C.A.T4
The C.A.T4 is the standard model of the range. Using it with the Genny4 transmitter, experienced operators will be able to find more buried utilities, faster.
eC.A.T4
This model is equipped with an automatic recording system which stores up to 2 years’ worth of usage data in its internal memory. Data can be later retrieved and analysed using a USB lead and a PC.
gC.A.T4
This model adds GPS position to the usage data recorded. Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless transfer of usage data to the C.A.T Manager Online cloud based system for near real-time monitoring of operators’ performance.
Genny4
Genny4’s patented simultaneous dual-frequency signal output facilitates location of small diameter cables such as telecoms and street lighting, including spurs. All C.A.T4 locator models have patented technology to detect both signals simultaneously. The power boost function in Genny4 enables the locate signal to travel further and deeper, and couple onto utilities more easily.
C.A.T Manager
C.A.T Manager is a software suite designed to offer online or local analysis of usage behaviours, explore surveyed locations using Google Maps, and produce surveys and usage reports. Data can be exported and shared as KML or CSV files.
The PC version offer the ability to keep fleets up-to-date with the latest firmware and in calibration.
Near-real time monitor of gC.A.T4 and Genny4 fleets is possible using the Android or iOS app and the cloud based C.A.T manager Online.
RD7100®, our industry-specific range of underground cable locator equipment, contains advanced locating technologies with each model optimized for the challenges of locating a particular buried utility.
Accurately locating and marking buried assets ensures minimum downtime during repair or maintenance activities. It also prevents damage which can be costly for both you and your customers. RD7100 offers the power of Radiodetection’s most advanced locating technologies, with each cable locator model optimized for a specific industry.
Users benefit from the simplicity of having menu options and capabilities matched to their requirements. Read our guide to cable and pipe locators to understand more about how locators work. Our GPS and usage-logging models are designed to facilitate best working practices in locating crews.
RD8100® cable locator is engineered to deliver the best precision for damage prevention when locating buried cables and pipes. This advanced range of underground utility locators offers optional integrated GPS and usage logging, and is backed with a 3‑year warranty.
RD8100 is our most advanced range of cable locators, and builds on over 40 years of pedigree to deliver performance, quality and durability. Containing a unique arrangement of 5 custom-manufactured, precision-ground antennas, it allows you to choose the best method to locate specific cables and pipes. Read our guide to cable and pipe locators to understand more about how locators work.
With utility infrastructures becoming more complex, locate professionals require more powerful, flexible tools. Features such as Current Direction and iLOC on the cable locator combine with the versatile Tx Transmitter range to deliver high-precision locates even in tough conditions
Integrated GPS and usage-logging options automatically generate data for customer reports, or in-house quality and safety audits to promote best working practices.
Radiodetection Sondes
Standard Sonde
Compact Sonde with a strong signal.This is a self-contained battery operated sonde, measuring 1.53" x 4.13" (39mm x 105mm). It can be connected to a flexrod for locating pipes and ducting etc. Available in 3 frequencies with a locate depth of 16" (5m).
512Hz, 8kHz and 33kHz.
S13 Sonde Kit 33kHz
Small Conduit and Duct Sonde - 13mm
S13: a ½” (13mm) diameter sonde for narrow ducts and conduits.
The S13 Super Small Sonde is designed to be used for tracing the paths of non-metallic pipes, ducts, sewers and drains, and in the precise location of blockages and collapses.
The S13 sonde transmits a locate frequency at 33kHz, making it compatible with most Radiodetection Cable and Pipe locators, including the RD8100 Precision Locator range and the C.A.T4 Cable Avoidance Tool range.
Telecoms industry
With an ever increasing demand for telecommunications, utility companies are increasing the utilization of existing ducts by inserting more and more fibre and metallic cables, resulting in ducts becoming more crowded. The S13 sonde, with a diameter of ½” (12.7mm) is designed to pass through such narrow channels, enabling field technicians to detect and trace their path.
Smaller diameter ducts are often used to install fiber optic cables to homes and businesses. To check for blockages along the duct, the S13 sonde can be jetted or blown through the duct, making the S13 sonde ideal for applications where size restricts the use of larger sondes.
HVAC and water industries
With a diameter of only ½” (12.7 mm), and a short working length of 2.7” (68 mm, with plain end cap), the S13 sonde is designed to pass through narrow pipes and ducts, and can traverse more bends and corners than bigger sonde options. This makes the S13 an ideal tool for tracing non-metallic water pipes, ventilation ducts and drains, both in buildings and buried underground.
Specification
The S13 sonde is supplied as a kit containing the S13 sonde body, an M10 threaded male end cap, plain end cap with eyelet, 2 × batteries and case. An optional pack of 10 batteries is also available.

Sewer Sonde 33kHz
Standard Sewer Sonde
This is a self-contained, battery-operated sonde, measuring 2.51" x 6.61" (64mm x 168mm). It can be connected to a Flexrod for locating pipes and ducting etc. It transmits on 33kHz and can be normally located to a maximum depth of 26' (8m).
