  • Page 4: Depth Measurement

    Depth Measurement The SuperC.A.T will automatically measure and display the depth in Active Line, Sonde and CPS modes. Note: The SuperC.A.T does not measure depth in Power or Radio modes. Method: Locate the utility as follows. Hold the SuperC.A.T still and vertically centered above the detected line and across the line of the pipe/cable.

  • Page 5: Transmitter Features

    Radio Mode Radio mode detects broadcast signals that originate from radio transmitters. These signals penetrate the ground and are re-radiated by buried conductors. However, depending on your location, these signals may not be present. StrikeAlert™ If the StrikeAlert™ option is activated, the mode icon will flash an asterisk (*) when the locator detects a shallow cable radiating an electromagnetic signal.

  • Page 6: Connection Cable

    Batteries Access Panel. No tone indicates that the batteries must be replaced. Unscrew fastener on the rear panel and replace with 4 LR20 (D cells) batteries. Observe correct battery polarity as indicated on the top-panel label. Arrows The arrows on the top panel label indicate the required Transmitter alignment above the pipe or cable when using the Induction mode.

  • Page 7: Direct Connection

    Cable location with the SuperC.A.T and T1 Transmitter Induction Mode The Transmitter has an internal aerial that will induce a signal onto a line (or lines) directly below it. This is useful when you do not have direct access to the line. Generally, induction is only effective to depths of 2m (6’6”).
  • Page 8 Clip the ground cable to an independent grounding point a few meters away from the transmitter and preferably perpendicular to the probable route of the target cable or pipeline. Do not attach the ground cable to water pipes or any buried line which could carry the induced locate signal.

  • Page 9: Locating A Sonde

    Signal Clamp. Locating a Sonde The SuperC.A.T is capable of locating a Radiodetection Sonde. Before attempting to locate a Sonde ensure that the Sonde’s batteries are fully charged. Radiodetection recommends using new or fully recharged batteries at the beginning of each day and preferably at the start of each job.
  • Page 10 Stop when the bar graph indicates a clear peak. Rotate the Receiver until the blade’s orientation is perpendicular to the Sonde, stop when the bar graph indicates a clear peak. Move the Receiver from side to side until the bar graph indicates a clear peak.
  • Page 11 If the signal is too weak or unstable the Receiver unit will not calculate depth. In this case use a more powerful Sonde or use the Pinpoint procedure described below. Pinpoint Procedure. Move the Receiver ahead of the Sonde. Ensure the blade’s orientation is parallel with the Sonde’s orientation Increase the sensitivity slightly to find the ghost signal.

  • Page 12: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting When reporting any problem to your Radiodetection Dealer or Supplier it is important to quote the unit serial number and the purchase date. This equipment is NOT approved for use in areas where WARNING! hazardous gases may be present.
