The cable avoidance tool can help excavation engineers diagnose, map, and ultimately avoid subsurface utility services such as power cables, data/telecom cables, pipes, and building structures.
The Cable Avoidance Tool can be utilised efficiently in four modes: avoidance, generation, power, and radio:=
Avoidance mode -detects genny, power, and radio signals simultaneously.
Genny mode – only detects signals produced by the Radiodetection Genny4 Signal Generator.
Power mode is used to detect electromagnetic fields (EMFs) around underground power cables.
Radio mode- detects long-distance radio signals travelling over underground pipes and wires.
