Signal Generator

A Signal Generator is used alongside a Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) to help accurately locate and trace underground pipes, cables, and other buried services. The generator applies a distinct electrical signal to the service, allowing the CAT to detect and identify its route more clearly.

Portable and easy to operate, a signal generator is an essential piece of equipment for contractors carrying out excavation, groundwork, drainage, and utility work, helping to improve safety and reduce the risk of damaging buried services.

Key Features

• Works alongside a Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT)
• Magnifies the output signal up to 10 times normal levels to punch through difficult soil conditions and locate utilities at significantly greater depths and distances
• Offers direct connection via leads, signal clamp application, or induction to radiate a signal into the ground without physical contact
• Simultaneous dual-frequency transmission (33 kHz and 131 kHz) for improved small cable detection
