Radiodetection SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator (Metal Pipes)

Radiodetection SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator (Metal Pipes)

The Radiodetection SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator (Metal Pipes) is one of three utility-specific locating tools each supported by enhanced features, improved safety practices and all part of an extremely impressive range from Radiodetection. The Cathodic Protection System (CPS) built-into this model can locate a rectified signal without the need of attaching an additional transmitter. This is ideal for discovering oil and gas pipelines, with the high sensitivity and selectivity of the SuperCAT4+ CPS delivering accurate locations even in typically electrically noisy environments.

Operating Modes

This model is optimised to detect CPS signals, tracing protected pipelines without disconnecting rectifiers, however there are other detection modes included:

• CPS Mode - Detects the signal radiated by a Cathodic Protection System (CPS)
• Radio Mode - Detects long-range radio signals as they are re-radiated along buried metallic cables and pipes.
• Power Mode (50Hz /60Hz) - Detects the electromagnetic fields generated by loaded power cables.
• Active Line Mode (when using external T1 Transmitter) - Detects the T1 signals which are radiated by buried utilities.

Safe excavation can only be achieved by precisely locating buried assets, a task the Radiodetection SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator can perform both swiftly and simply. Failing to identify underground utilises and any resulting in damage can lead to outages, unnecessary repairs, delays and even personal injuries.

Safety Features

All SuperCAT4+ models are supplied with a range of safety features and the CPS Locator variant is no exception.

StrikeAlert - Despite guidelines insisting power cables are buried at a certain depth, it is not uncommon to find shallow cables. StrikeAlert warns the user of the presence of these incorrect utility lines and is automatically enabled for Power and Active Line Modes.

Depth Display - An automatic feature compatible with CPS and Active Line Mode, this will inform users of the accurate depth should conditions be suitable for a reading.

Dynamic Overload Protection - Typically found near substations or high-voltage transmission cables, high levels of electrical interference can overload some sensitive electronics. This protective safety measure will filter the interference out and enable the SuperCAT4+ CMS locator to continue operating successfully where other units may falter.

Built For On-Site Use

Protected by ABS casing, the Radiodetection SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator is a light-weight, hard-wearing and IP54 rated unit suitable for all-weather operation. The tactile interface includes a trigger switch for on/off, mode selector switch, detachable loudspeaker and sensitivity control dial. On the bottom a replaceable boot protects against drops and knocks whilst atop the handle, a high contrast screen sits featuring an auto-backlight function and bar graph display. Powered by two D-Cell batteries, the locator is completed by a USB data port which ensures the unit can benefit from any future software upgrades.

T1-640 Transmitter

Enhance your SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator even further by introducing it to the Radiodetection T1-640 Transmitter. Exceptionally compact and portable, this highly useful piece of kit features simple frequency selection and an accessible accessory socket. While using the T1-640 Transmitter, your SuperCAT4+ CPS Locator can utilise Active Line Mode.

The T1-640 Transmitter offers a direct connection to a valve, meter, junction box or any other access point or when direct connection is not possible, it can apply a transmitter signal via induction to a pipe or cable. For an alternative to the direct or induction connection, it is also safe to combine the T1-640 with a clamp.
