WARNINGS
Signal Overload
If the C.A.T4 is used in areas where very large power signals are present, the signal bargraph will flash. In this condition the sensitivity control and depth function will not operate and you are advised to try lifting the C.A.T4 to bring it out of the overloaded condition or use the C.A.T4 in a different location.
When taking depth readings
Conductor out of range.
Selected mode does not support depth estimations
Not possible to indicate depth eg, high levels of electrical interference.
StrikeAlert
The optional StrikeAlert feature warns the operator of shallow pipes and cables. To check if your C.A.T4 has StrikeAlert, look for the StrikeAlert Activation sticker on the side of the C.A.T4.
When a shallow cable or pipe is detected in Power, Genny or Avoidance Mode, StrikeAlert flashes an asterix and sounds a distinctive warbling audio tone. StrikeAlert is not activated when tracing Radio signals.
The unit StrikeAlert status can be changed using C.A.T Manager, and is momentarily displayed at start up:
